It’s pretty standard thing in systems other than dnd, called “drives” or “motivation”. There are plenty of them, not only nine. And there’s no need for axis, and no need for names like “path or some shit” too.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. As for an axis, I like aligning things on a spectrum and thinking about how decisions take you down different spectrums.
I understand that’s just a label but understanding the relationship between the motivations is an interesting part of character development to me
I like this alternative alignment idea too! I feel like Path of Liberty suits me out of all these. As that would be a character archetype which appeals most in roleplaying situations.
