Actually it worked out really well on the character sheet... there were three blank boxes in the sheet listed +0, +1 and +2. You just wrote the characters name in the box. Oh... and to the right of this box was the matrix indicating what the results of the row were.JRR wrote:You still have to track everyone's alignment that you heal. Which means that dirt farmer the dm was using to dispense information? He has to know his alignment. And how is the cleric to know whom he can and can't heal? An evil person falls and breaks his leg, is the cleric supposed to just walk by and not help him? That's not the act of a good cleric. This method makes a simple healing spell way too complicated. I'd rather handle the implications of a cleric healing someone of opposite alignment via roleplaying.
The tracking of who and their alignments was a negligible amount of effort. We were play one shot adventures with people we never played with before. And I was till able to keep everyone straight. I honestly think that once you try it you will probably change your mind on it. It sounds far worse in text than it is during play.
