| Topic | Has there ever been a good definition for alignments in d&d |
| Paratroopa1 12/21/18 4:27:27 AM #83: | MariaTaylor posted... also unlike D&D your beliefs and ideals can change over time this is probably what the problem with the alignment system boils down to for me - what someone's "alignment" is is incredibly fluid in both the short term and the long term (I don't believe I've EVER played a character for longer than 2 months who didn't have some sort of character arc that made their alignment at least trend in a direction if not outright change it), and not only that but what someone's alignment is is also completely subjective to the opinions of the people and society around them - or the opinions of the gods, I suppose. But then at the same time, D&D makes it absolutely, 100% clear that both good/evil and lawful/chaotic are actual inherent, physical qualities that a person has, something that can actually be scientifically measured, which is really strange ...
