I had the urge to do this after reading through some posts and all. No I'm not an artist and I didn't have fancy tools either. Lines made randomly.

Basicly, DST and CRT as another axis would look like this to me if you had to represent it. And it really doesn't seem to hold any strong influence on the already 9 present alignments. Because I agree on that each of the existing alignments can be more or less destructive.

While you could RP up all you like about the kind of creation or destruction people bring, it won't sway much on the 9main alignments.

Enjoy.

Good / Evil = Blue / Red
Law / Chaos = Sharp / Round
Destruct / Construct = Broken / Clean

Have I told you lately that I love you? XD

Get in line. :wink:

Nice work Ron.
Not sure where I'd fit on that in 3D ... LNN? LNC? Somewhere along those lines.

Now we just need a description of the 27 NEW Versions of Alignments.
Hell, this should be suggested to Ed greenwood.

No, o we don't. and No, it shouldn't. >.<

Wut? Now in order to understand DnD, which is already damn strange and confusing, we should start learning astrology as well?!

You're right Tormak ... not enough axes! We can add your religious one too, and paint it onto this:

Yarp. Soon playing NWN will require an education.

Being allowed to exist should require an education.

This is a good way to add depth to your character, if you're the kind of person who wants to use models for stuff. The pious/secular axis is also a good representation of character. They're more useful on a character creation guide than the game (just like alignment in general!) when you're planning a new character. I guess. My method is just picking certain themes and ideas and building around them gradually.

Meh, not all chaotic neutral people act the same way. Or any other alignment for that matter. Sure they have similar traits, but they vary and are to different degrees and extremes. Basically I think the alignments are basic guidelines. Follow the alignment, but there can be some variations, just RP your character accordingly I think, but with their certain personality. Anyways thats how I look at it, simply put.

That's basically how I look at it, Iron. Not really useful as far as game mechanics or anything go, and I would honestly hate to see it implemented mechanically because it'd really just be a waste of time, but it gives you something to think about. I think much more effectively within a defined framework, so adding more axes to alignment just helps me to think more effectively about any character concepts. I know it's very different for a lot of other people, but that's how it goes for me, and it helps me see more substantial ways in which people of the same alignment could differ, other than just simple personality traits, or following/not following a certain deity, etc.

Is there an alternative called the CBA?

There is no neutral...only good and evil or black and white..as you like it.

Clearly that is not true.

Lord Keldorn Firecam from Baldur's Gate 2: "Grey? It is not even a color! Only the symbol of indecision."

Shoot the Paladin!

All this stuff is nice, for those who enjoy deeper character creation. But yeah, it'd be a bit silly to add to the creation of all characters as part of standard D&D PC creation. There are plenty of great tools to flesh out PC's into very deep levels, this is just a basic and simple one.

Yep, it was a bit silly to add the good-evil axis like they did, too. Law-chaos was fine.

But then, what hemispheres we would be broken into!
