Alignments
Article Author: BlackWand
Most people will have alignment as 'Neutral' for the purposes of Detect spells and other things mechanically relating to alignment.View Count: 567 "Evil" and "Good", "Chaotic" and "Lawful" are reserved for extraplanar beings or those who have strong ties to extraplanar beings (Clerics being a prime exammple). Note that this means that Detect Alignment spells won't necessarily be the best indicator of a behavior - people with Fiendish Heritage blood, or Warlocks, will show up as Evil even if they act Good because of their morals, simply because their extraplanar connections are Evil. Mundane evils, like murder, don't show up as Evil, though they certainly are evil. This doesn't mean that you have to act as a True Neutral would traditionally. People still act according to their morals, personalities, and whatever motivates them. The same applies to almost everyone in the world. Just remember that Evil still doesn't mean it's OK to smite righteously and Speak with Dead later. ;) The 9 alignments Chaotic Evil Chaotic Good Chaotic Neutral Lawful Evil Lawful Good Lawful Neutral Neutral Evil Neutral Good True Neutral |
