Alignment

More information about this subject might be available on PathfinderWiki.

Alignment is a shorthand for describing a person or group's moral convictions, personality, and general outlook on life. It is described on two axes: good versus evil and law versus chaos with a third neutral position in the middle of both. These combine to form nine alignment combinations: lawful good, lawful neutral, lawful evil, neutral good, neutral, neutral evil, chaotic good, chaotic neutral, and chaotic evil.
