Keep in mind that the alignment score was found in a _The Book of Hallowed
Might_, a book about tenent bound characters (clerics and paladins).

A scale is nothing more than a matter of preference. My own scale, for
example has no upper limit because it reflects repuation. Someone with a
humility of 12 is better known for his humility than a character with a
score of 2, but less well known than a character of -42, whose humility is
negative. The character with the score of 2 may be a more humble character,
but not as well know for that quality. Far from being a limiting quality,
its just a limited descriptive figure. Whatever the scale is invented for
should control its design.
