| Jun 4, 2015 at 1:46 | comment | added | DCShannon | No detail on a "Cosmic War", but this is from the 4E Player's Handbook: If you choose an alignment, you’re indicating your character’s dedication to a set of moral principles... In a cosmic sense, it’s the team you believe in and fight for...Alignments are tied to universal forces bigger than deities...with a lawful good alignment, you’re on the same team as Bahamut, regardless of whether you worship that deity. Bahamut is not..the captain...just a...important player...Most people...haven’t signed up to play on any team-they’re unaligned. Picking...an alignment represents a distinct choice. | |
