sticklefifer posted:I quite like intensity of belief being a driving force. Essentially hardcore proselytizing/crusading vs. a live-and-let-live mentality. My only question is how would you represent Neutral on that scale? Ideally, a third axis would have Neutral/Neutral/Neutral right in the middle, so in what ways could someone using this scale differentiate, say, Lawful Good Neutral from Lawful Good Passive? Or True Neutral from Neutral Neutral Passive? It's hard to imagine the middle of an 'intensity' spectrum being anything other than just 'somewhere in between zealous and removed.' You could have Lawful Good Passive be someone who is Lawful Good and who is only concerned with being Lawful Good themselves, Lawful Good Neutral being someone who tries to convince others of the rightness of being Lawful Good, and Lawful Good Aggressive someone who goes out to kill Chaotic Evil types. Alternately, you could have the third-axis be some sort of 'tolerance spectrum.' On the one end you have characters who only tolerate their own nine-point alignment, on the other you have those who tolerate everyone, and in the middle those who tolerate 1 step away from where they are (or maybe any who agree on at least one axis?). Then at least you could have a Lawful Good Tolerant Paladin who doesn't feel like he needs to fight the Rogue every time he steals something in order to roleplay. On the flip side it gives players who choose Intolerant more of an excuse to be assholes to the rest of the party, if their alignments disagree.
