I love traditional alignment, buuuuut this is pretty awesome.
Alternatively, “I got halfway through making a meme and decided I didn’t want to argue with people over the pictures I selected for each option.” XD
this is really awesome, never seen anything like this and love how this relates to the traditional alignment but is it’s own separate thing!
If there was an axis, what would it be here??
Seems like it’s good/evil up to down, law/chaos left to right, but working to ditch the baggage of the terms. I like it.
I am favorable to selfish vs selfless for evil vs good
It’s pretty standard thing in systems other than dnd, called “drives” or “motivation”. There are plenty of them, not only nine. And there’s no need for axis, and no need for names like “path or some shit” too.
dnd has what you’re talking about? Personality Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws.
What’s the point to have “Ideals” next to “Alignment”? Are they mechanically different?
5e has alignment, but there aren’t actually any rules that depend on your alignment. I think they threw it in because it’s D&D and you’re supposed to have it?
Yeah, that’s my guess as well. It was definitely a bigger deal in previous editions, so I figure they just didn’t want to entirely scrap what was previously a very core mechanic even if it’s now very much less important.
