I'm so glad you said that!
Your post:
I pray that at some point in the future some kindly coder will rethink the mechanics of alignment and do the following:
A: Remove the feature whereby alignment plummets drastically upon the killing of a creature with very good alignment.
My proposal:
But, could I propose a spell, lets call it "Focus Mind" which would allow a particular character with considerable amount of levels, to concentrate his mind enough, just for a good few minutes, to allow himself to kill monsters of the same alignment as himself, without actually succumbing to guilt or worse ?
a spell like this could be tweaked to only offer a reduction of alignment loss, instead of fixing it in place completely
You see the exact same problem that my proposed spell is aimed at fixing, but while you suggest a
permanent fix for everyone at no cost and effort, that would most likely lead to a complete redesign of the alignment system, my solution to that same problem is within the boundaries of the system, and it takes up the resources from the player and it can be tailored by immortals, by setting the mana required, level required and duration of the spell, and it does not require any extensive coding.
Prejudice much ? Or are you so hateful, that you consider everything stupid ?
