That <i>ideal</i> originates from Judeo-Christianity.<br /><br />In terms of what to do with Alignments at your table is entirely up to you. Myself, I am not only satisfied with the 3-point Alignment system, but have also successfully used Judeo-Christianty as a foundational principle and theme to run very successful (and fun!) campaigns.

(Even with demons, devils, and angels in the Monster Manual. D&D takes from every tradition)howandwhy99https://www.blogger.com/profile/14611287591950671912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-7260155090963963432015-03-03T08:55:16.626-06:002015-03-03T08:55:16.626-06:00@Flambeaux, @Anthony, @JB Thanks for the complimen...@Flambeaux, @Anthony, @JB Thanks for the compliments guys.FrDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459281821319914530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-61235704330400960222015-03-03T08:54:01.358-06:002015-03-03T08:54:01.358-06:00Thank you!Thank you!FrDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459281821319914530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-56961558292492317742015-03-03T05:50:27.663-06:002015-03-03T05:50:27.663-06:00This post is really good!
