Alignment 5x5: alignment wheel
Use this alignment wheel when you need a fast result but still want the choice to feel explainable. The wheel has 25 entertainment picks; examples like Nomad - Rebel Impure, Malefactor - Neutral Evil, and Counselor - Social Moral show the kind of outcome users should expect before they spin.
It works best when the result is treated as a clear starting point. You can keep every option equal, adjust weights for a softer or harder mix, or use elimination mode when a repeat would make the session less useful. That combination gives the page a practical purpose beyond simply listing choices.
What is included in the default wheel
The wheel includes 25 entertainment picks. Representative picks include Nomad - Rebel Impure, Malefactor - Neutral Evil, Counselor - Social Moral, Overlord - Lawful Impure, Vigilante - Chaotic Good, and Schemer - Neutral Impure, with the rest of the list giving the wheel enough variety for several rounds without feeling random in a bad way.
How to use it for watchlists and group picks
- Write down the result before anyone negotiates a reroll.
- Use the first result as the pick, then keep Malefactor - Neutral Evil as a backup.
- Let every person add one extra option before spinning.
- Use elimination mode to work through a watchlist or character list without repeats.
Customize the wheel without changing the intent
The editor lets you rename options, add local rules, remove slices that do not fit, and change weights when Nomad - Rebel Impure and Malefactor - Neutral Evil should appear more or less often. For no-repeat sessions, elimination mode removes a result after it lands, which is useful when the wheel is part of watchlists, character picks, and group entertainment choices.
Sharing matters when more than one person is involved. Save or share the URL after editing so everyone uses the same random alignment instead of rebuilding a slightly different version from memory. If the result affects a group, agree on the rules before spinning so the wheel settles the choice instead of starting a second debate.
For a nearby decision path, compare this wheel with Aa — Race and Alien Features. Keep those links as optional next steps, not as required clicks, so the current page still solves the user’s task on its own.
Quick setup checklist
Before spinning, decide whether the result is final, whether rerolls are allowed, and whether weights should stay equal. That small setup step keeps the wheel useful for both solo decisions and group sessions.
If you are using this wheel repeatedly, write down each result or turn on elimination mode. For this set, that usually creates a better experience than rerolling until someone sees the answer they already wanted.
When to use weights
Weights are best for real preferences, not for keyword tricks or hidden manipulation. Raise a weight when an option is more practical, lower it when it should be rare, and keep equal weights when fairness matters more than curation.
