alignment system

An alignment system is a method used in role-playing games to categorize a character's ethical and moral perspective. It helps define how a character behaves and makes decisions, typically on two axes: one assessing their attitude toward good versus evil, and the other their stance toward law versus chaos. This results in nine common categories, like "Lawful Good" or "Chaotic Evil," guiding character development and interactions. Alignment provides a structured way to understand motives and actions, fostering consistent storytelling and gameplay dynamics.
