Not really WotC has plenty references personally I am all for it and every group inhave been in chooses one as it assists in role playing. But here's isna great article about alighnment in 5e
That article is predicated in alignment barely even being in D&D anymore. That’s explicitly what the article is about...
Anyway, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and mine is throughly f—- alignment. My group sees it as a crutch more than an aid to role playing, and we are happy to play without it.
In the Players’ Handbook. You’re told to pick an alignment for your character. And all of the alignments are defined and explained. All the gods are giving alignments, the Paladin is text book lawful good, certain sentient weapons wont cooperate with opposed alignments, the arguments that its not in there is a fallacy. If you choose not to great but its in there. Unfortunately wotc is moving towards the everyone is nice and special with drow no longer being evil, wouldn't be surprised if red dragons turn into cuddle bunnies
