Alignment: Different for Monsters and Characters?
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 4:46 pm
I noticed when I was flipping through the spells that there is a "Detect Evil" spell. The wording of the the spell indicates that that it detects evil alignments and may be reversed to detect good alignments ( among other things ).
This seemed odd to me because in the character creation section a one axis alignment system is presented of Law-Neutrality-Chaos. I went to check the creature section and it appears that monsters are using a two axis alignment system though the abbreviations used ( CN, NE, N, CE, etc. ) are never explained.
Is it intended that monsters and characters use different systems of alignment?
