Think the 9 alignments is too prone to confusion? Do Good/Unaligned/Evil. Want something classic? Law/Neutral/Chaos. Want a bigger group? CG/LG/Un/LE/CE. What we got was a 5 alignment that doesn't seem to make sense. How is Good different from Lawful-Good? Is LG mostly lawful with a hint of good, or mostly good with a hint of law? (Its seems the former, since a cleric of Pelor can be good or unaligned, but not LG). Ditto Evil/CE. Is CE are more-evil type of evil?, or is it Chaotic Neutral with a cruel and selfish element?It seems they wanted to to keep the "concept" of LG and CE (as well as their iconic names) so they tacked it onto a G/U/E system as an after-thought. Seriously, I'd rather they have dumped the G/E off LG/CE and made a 5 alignments C/G/U/L/E. I need my needless symmetry!!!!I'll refrain from commenting on Vancian casting (that said, you don't know sometimes how much you miss something till its gone) and I really could care less about the demon/devil divide (as long as they are still separate and in thier repective planes, I could care less about their origins).</blockquote>
