Just more verbiage.No, it's not. It refers to a player saying "my character is CG" and the DM saying "prove it." How can a player prove it? By playing the character as CG. It's not on-point at all, because it does not address how in particular a player would prove it, just that it must be proven in-game.Writing an alignment on a character sheet is not enough. You need to play that alignment to have that alignment.This passage clearly refers to the player, not the character. Everything else in that paragraph refers to the player. Characters are not mentioned. Note that the other paragraphs in that section specifically refer to characters, not players. Indeed it does. But it discusses changing the standard alignment system, not interpreting the standard alignment system. (Other than referring to the rock-solid certainty of it, which of course contradicts the PHB, though it could be read as only referring to a player's interpretation of alignment.)Since we're quoting the DMG: (Emphasis mine).No act needed, alignment changed due to intent.</blockquote>
