That's not a thing any more. Mainly because of the potential for misuse you're implying.

Depends entirely on what system and edition you're talking about.

True. But generally, if you're talking alignment you're talking about D&D or Pathfinder (which is basically just 3.75 D&D).

And that's why we mentioned they fixed it in the recent edition (5e). Obviously if you're playing an older edition, it's still going to have the older baggage as well. But in the same sense that most people don't complain about THAC0 anymore, it's fair to say that a lot of the issues people had with Alignment no longer apply.

4e tried to simplify it down even more (Lawful Good-Good-Unaligned-Evil-Chaotic Evil), but it annoyed people so they went back to the traditional grid. And Original Recipe and Basic D&D waaay back in the day didn't even have Good/Evil and just had Alignment be Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic (Good/Evil was added later, after Paladins became a thing). But the current way it's presented (in 5e) is probably the best it's ever been.
