Alignment expanded Good and evil are up to the player.

The following expands the definitions of Law, neutrality and chaos in DD. Chaotic (Barbarism, Free Agency): Chaotics are wild and free at heart. They reject the notion that they must conform to structure, rules, and formal organization. They do not believe that natural systems are real except as aggregates of individual actions, in continual flux due to random and often unexpected factors. Individual actions and events may appear organized as systems but these are in no way stable, proper, or inevitable, and certainly not monolithic orders that must be preserved at all costs. Ideas and ideals are of far more importance than supposed natural orders. Any structures that exist are always just the sum of their parts and have no reality beyond them. Monsters, barbarians, pirates and the like are typical Chaotics Neutral: These individuals see value in the ideals of both the Chaotic and Lawful sides. They tend to stay out of the war and are often advocates of live and let live. Neutrals can be found in every group. Lawful (Structuralism, Civilization): Lawfuls take a top down approach, perceiving the world to be made up of discrete, definable, and somehow natural and/or divinely mandated systems. Things are the way they are because that is how they are meant to be and everything happens for a purposeful reason. Life is organized, ordered and subject to natural law. Systems function normally just as they are supposed to and are meaningful and need to be preserved for life to prosper. The disruption of natural and traditional systems is destructive and usually should be avoided. It may be necessary to destroy or modify some systems to preserve the most important ones. However some argue that no matter what, divine order will always prevail. The king is in his palace, the bankers in their banks, the gods are in their heaven and all is right with the world. The structure is always greater than the sum of its parts. These people believe in the primacy of order and self sacrifice for the good of all, and will readily support others of the same Alignment. Lawfuls typically are vested members in civilizations and institutions.
