[QUOTE="Philosopher, post: 5248152, member: 76803"] Yes, while it's not explicitly stated in the original rules, that's the best way to make sense of it (especially when you try to figure alignment languages). Excellent point. You're right, it could very easily get out of hand. However, I wouldn't want to put any sort of artificial limit on it. Any description of a character's personality, goals, values, etc., could get convoluted, but we expect players to stick with something manageable. If you want to have very different alignments towards a wide variety of groups, I would expect you to come up with a plausible reason why it would be significant enough to specify these alignments. Just name one or two in-groups/out-groups, and that should be fine. As for what to think about the poor halfling sitting at the Shrine of the Pipe, that's a great opportunity to roleplay! After all, people don't always fit our preconceptions of the groups they belong to. We have to decide how to react to them on some level.
