Summary: What Alignment is Good for


The purpose of alignment is to give characters an alibi for cold-blooded
murder.  Since D&D is set up to emphasize murder and robbery, someone with a
bit of conscience must have felt it necessary to justify the atrocities that
are D&D's bread and butter.

Alignment allows the player character to categorize members of other
alignments as "the enemy," and cold-bloodedly murder them with a clear
conscience.

Did you ever wonder why there are only two kinds of Paladins? -- the
eager-beaver Hitler Youth type (I'm murdering these people for God and
Country!) and the psychotic SS type (I'm murdering these people because
that's what Paladins do, and besides, it's fun!).
