[QUOTE="MrGrenadine, post: 4704730, member: 62619"] You make some great points, Celebrim. I take a simpler view of alignment--that it is the sum of the character's decisions to date. And being such, it is always in the player's control, and it is never fixed, but changes very slowly, over time, as the character lives and changes and grows and makes choices. As far as I'm concerned, a character is only Chaotic Good (or whatever label makes sense in the campaign), because of his or her past decisions, and if that character begins to make decisions that are more Lawful than Chaotic, or more Evil than Good, then the alignment should reflect that. How "big" each decision is needs to be a factor, of course, but most times any change would happen incrementally, based only on the player's choices. As for the idea of teams, that doesn't really resonate with me. There's no reason why two characters of the same alignment would have exactly the same goals, or even be able to stand each other.
