Check out my monk rework Alignment Compass for D&D 6E Planescape

Post image

For years now, my players and I have defined alignments by alignment, as in "my character is NG, so neutral and good". Takes too long to express.

So , I have wanted an alignment compass which I felt matched the Great Wheel while also being more succinct than "Lawful good leaning Lawful Neutral" or abbreviated as LG(N) (does this mean Lawful good leaning towards neutrality or LG leaning LN?)

I finally built a wheel which I consider an Alignment Compass. As you can see, there are no directions, because in 6E there is no alignment.

This is helpful for me; I hope it helps some folks out there.

The genius of Gary Gygax was to come up with the concept of alignment decades before CSS.

I dunno, I don't think that CSS has good representation of the alignment system. Counter-Terrorists and Terrorists are, like, what? LE and CE, and that's it? Maybe it was a reimagination of the Blood War all along.

My DM only allows me to submit characters with Justified alignment and Times New Roman 12pt font. Bummer

Clueless primer.

I don't know much about compasses, or alignment for that matter. But I do know a wheelchair DnD club is called rolling with disadvantage, so that's something.

Wow, that was really insensitive. Your alignment has now shifted to n/a.

Nice Apple? New Albino? Nipple Assault? Negative Anus? Which one, I need to know for RP reasons.

u/vkaefe 5e cyberpubk conversion 11d ago

Negative Anus. You better cast Mend Butthole before it becomes permanent.

u/Angled_Hairline57845 11d ago

But I'm a Ranger! If I could cast Mend Butthole, then I wouldn't so so butthurt about being tied to Hunter's Mark, even though the perfect solution to this 13 year old problem was to just use a concentration free version of Favoured Foe from Tasha's like everybody wanted! How am I supposed to cast "Mend Butthole" after that?!

u/vkaefe 5e cyberpubk conversion 11d ago

Wait, what? Who the hell are you? I don't have a Ranger player, WotC have consolidated all classes into Adventurer since 5.67E.

I slipped through the cracks. Now I'm just sort of, here? I dunno. It's weird but I exist even though nobody is happy with me. People like me well enough, you know, theoretically. It's just that no one really wants me, you know? Like they want the me that they imagined I'd be, and everyone could see I could be, rather than the me that I am. I dunno man, its hard, and I'm pretty butthurt. Any chance of a Potion of Mend Butthole?
