Has anyone used the monster alignment charts in chainmail as the potential classes a player can choose from?
A lawful party might have heroes, dwarfs, and wizards
A neutral party might have lycanthropes, elves, and sprites
A chaotic party might have a vampire, a true troll, and some hobgoblins
You could even give a party 100 points to pick their characters and henchmen with.
A lawful party could have a Magician, a Hero, and 5 dwarfs, while a chaotic party could have a true troll, a wraith, and two hobgoblins
It would also make it easier to incorporate extra classes, as you could assign a ranger a higher point value than a fighting man. It also makes "merchant" or "thief" a viable choice, as you add a lot of resources to the party, while not taking up a lot of points.
I'm thinking about this with the mindset of having multiple adventuring parties of different alignments, working against each other.
