Recently Chris Perkins of Wizards of The Coast writes the column “The Dungeon Master Experience”.  In a recent article “Moral Compass”, Chris talks about how one player in his group was the moral compass for the party.  When this player left, due to moving out of state, he discusses how the actions of the PCs changed.  However, like most PCs even the most moral do not always point north.  This got me thinking about several things.

First, when you build a character, you attach an alignment to that character.  In many cases, a player chooses undefined (in 4E rules) or “neutral” in most other rule systems.  This is a kind of cheat, where a player can commit acts of either good or evil.  As a DM, I really do not like this.
