Moral Alignment and D&D
D&D: Dungeons and Dragons is a popular medieval fantasy game created in 1974. Its process and setup are extremely unique; instead of following loosely defined events on a detailed game board, every “campaign” (game or storyline) is unique, concocted by the game’s “Dungeon Master” (creator or writer). The remainder of the gameplay is determined by choices made by individual characters. The game, though, is still dense and complicated. Campaigns are based on a complex world of characters and norms. To become an effective Dungeon Master, players will need to study the The Player’s Handbook and become an expert on the game’s materials.
Characters: The game is based around 13 main character classes. Characters can fall into any moral alignment. The classes are: barbarian, bard, cleric, druid, fighter, monk, paladin, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, warlock, wizard, and artificer
Alignments: Alignments help Dungeon Masters write a cohesive, logical campaign. By defining a character’s values and decision-making processes upfront, you can quickly determine how they might act in a unique situation during gameplay. This gives the writer a sort of character template to follow; when new, unforeseeable scenarios arise, it’ll feel less like writing, and more like reacting via a character.
Lawful Good, the “Crusader:” These people believe in justice, honor, and compassion. They trust their society and fight for good while doing exactly what their peers expect of them.
Lawful Neutral, the “Judge:” These people value tradition, order, and lawful behavior. They believe in lawful behavior, but don’t follow a specific moral code.
Lawful Evil, the “Dominator:” This type plays by the rules and manipulates the status quo in order to gain power and inflict harm.
Neutral Good, the “Benefactor:” This type has one goal: to improve others’ lives. They’re unbiased, willing to cooperate with or rebel against authority in the name of good.
True Neutral, the “Undecided:” Many true neutrals are committed to independence and impartiality. They believe that biases are harmful, instead, addressing each choice in a vacuum.
Neutral Evil, the “Malefactor:” These people are out to serve #1. No codes, values, or biases define them, just a desire for power and an unflinching cruelty.
Chaotic Good, the “Rebel:” This type is a wildcard with a kind heart. They believe in goodness, but not societal norms. Of all evil, they especially hate the limiting of personal freedom.
Chaotic Neutral, the “Free Spirit:” These are true independents. They refuse to be restricted or to act as others expect them too; they even refuse to serve a specific moral code.
Chaotic Evil, the “Destroyer:” Committed to anarchy and evil, these are unpredictable, vicious people. To some, they’re considered the most demonic on the chart.
In real life: Though moral alignments originated in D&D, they’re meaningful in real societies (and storytelling) as well. By investigating your personal values, you can better predict your behavior, identify your “role” in a society, and understand the people around you, too.
