When they do some action it is considered in terms of it's Law-Chaos, and Good-Evil aspects and the Character Alignment is adjusted accordingly. So as an example, Arik the Dwarf shakes down a wealthy city council man and gives the sack of silver pieces as alms to a vbwyrdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14031787268876015417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124770754805827894.post-45569804614302665122015-02-09T12:26:25.066-05:002015-02-09T12:26:25.066-05:00I spent a solid 3 years with 4e and I don't re...I spent a solid 3 years with 4e and I don't regret it. With the added hindsight of 5e, there are a lot of things I'd like to go back and do differently with 4e. I tried to play on the game's terms but it lacked something -- which may have been the developers' own lack of faith in the product.
