I have made a.. thing... a planar alignment tracker!

I'm making a character sheet for my next Planescape(-y) campaign.

As I want alignment to play a part, and give my somewhat clueless players a reminder of the Great Wheel, I thought I'd incorporate this tracker on the first page.

The scales show how much into the alignment the character is, and you mark where you are on the chart.
What the characters do will affect their place on the chart.

(There's a flaw that the worst extremes, 5-5's, place you outside the wheel Eye-wink That's an argument for using Gygax' square from 1st ed PHB - but I like the wheel.)

Essentially a 0 or 1 is neutral ground. 3 is 'normal' for the alignment, while a 5 is more extreme than most mortals ever are.

I'm thinking about having some sort of reaction adjustment based on how far away you are from each other, but don't know if I'll codify it.

What do you think?

Nice stuff.

I'd be curious to see some stories about how this worked out during sessions if you're DMing.

I'm also interested in seeing how it pans out.

It will probably be a while until we see the real effects of it. For one thing the campaign hasn't started yet - we are actually waiting to die in an entirely different campaign before starting this (a long story).
