This is what alignment does to your brain [Dungeons & Dragons/Pathfinder]
-
I feel like alignment hasn’t really been a thing in DND for more than a decade, but there’s a steady supply of people who only “know” DND from memes keeping the idea alive.
I mean, have fun with it, but it’s very “how do you do fellow kids” sometimes.
It heavily relies on the players actually being consistent with their characterization. I don’t think I’m being controversial when I say that’s being generous to the players which make memes about alignment.

I’m starting to starting think that DND alignment charts are just the political compass for people who are not into politics (or maybe the other way around?)

There are holy and unholy sanctifications, which pretty much only effect extraplanar beings and those that bargain with them (Clerics, Paladins)

It sounds counterintuitive, but I think lawful and chaotic should be the other way around. Libertarians (in the sense it’s used here) tend to support freedom through fairness and consistency of the law, whereas for authoritarians the law is whatever the person in charge feels like.

Now you get edicts and anathemas instead of a general good/evil that you’re obligated to follow. There aren’t alignments in Pathfinder 2E after the remaster.
