The words, Light, Neutral and Dark are very deceiving. While in general they refer to the respective levels of goodness or badness, they are not specific enough to give a correct view of the character. Therefore I propose an improved alignment system, very like the AD&D one.
The classes shall remain the same: Light, Neutral and Dark. However in order to combet the difficulty shown above we will add another group of alignments: Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic.
So we will have the following alignments:
Lawful Light:
This is like the Light class in the current system.
Neutral Light:
You are on the side of the Light, however you tend to be less helpful than a Lawful Light and think more for yourself.
Chaotic Light:
You cause havoc within the limits of the law.
Lawful Neutral:
You are neutral in your decisions, but you assist in the ways of the Light.
True Neutral:
You are truly neutral, neither good nor evil. You tend to make decisions based on your own outcome.
Chaotic Neutral:
Opposite to Lawful Neutral.
Lawful Dark:
You are on the Dark side, however you assist in the ways of the Light. You tend to be called a rebel.
Neutral Dark:
You are on the Dark side and you are selfish in your decisions, thinking only for yourself.
Chaotic Dark:
You are truly full of malice and with the darkness of evil. This is like the Dark class in the current alignment system.
The meanings could be elaborated but this will do for now. I doubt this will come into affect, but I wanted to get that off my chest
