Using Rifts RPG to model DnD Alignments

The Palladium Books games had really useful Alignment descriptors, that map pretty well to D&D alignments.  I used to hand these out to my players, and it avoided countless hours of arguments.

Principled - Lawful Good

Scrupulous - Chaotic Good 

Unprincipled - Neutral Good (several bits are easily flipped to map to Neutral Evil) 

Anarchist - Chaotic Neutral 

Diabolic - Chaotic Evil

Aberrant - Lawful Evil

This page repeats the Palladium Books text verbatim, and is cheaper than buying the books. (Although, seriously, Rifts - is good gonzo fun, despite the game mechanics being a hot mess.)

(Savage Rifts is a licensed adaptation of the game setting, with a much cleaner game system underneath. It presents a very different experience, not being a hot mess, but it's a lot more playable, too.)


I'm not sure who did the artwork. Here is the site I grabbed it from.
