Talk:Alignment

Alignment and crunch

Alignment is one of the most significant examples of the intersection of canon and crunch. While primarily used as a mechanical conceit in the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and 3.5 rules, it also has a significance presence in canon representations of mechanical effects, such as planes, spells, and the Harrow. As such, the canon representations and implications of alignment are considered to be an in-universe metaphysical concept, although there are very few in-universe works or characters that explicitly discuss it in the same terms. -Oznogon (talk) 21:56, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

The Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project removes alignment as a mechanic; it is now solely used as a fictional concept, and largely superseded by edicts and anathema, and holiness, unholiness, and sanctification. See Pathfinder Core Preview pg. 3–4. -Oznogon (talk) 21:28, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
