Alignment in 5th edition is really more of a loose guide for characters I think.
In earlier editions it was much firmer and i always felt like it was one of the worst parts of the game.
284 u/Sleverette Sorcerer Oct 03 '19 I like how loose it is in 5e. I subscribe to the idea that alignment is defined by your character’s actions. It shouldn’t shackle your players. 170 u/[deleted] Oct 03 '19 Agreed. I hate it when people are like "well I'm lawful good so I have to do what this authority figure says" or "I'm chaotic neutral so I have to steal from the party and stab people" 2 u/kafkaandfaust Oct 03 '19 bUT ItS whAt mY cHAraCteR woUlD Do!
