[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2601112, member: 177"] Perhaps we have a definition problem. Where I come from, "hold them to" means, in essence, "restrict them to". If I hold you to an agreement, I don't allow you to break that agreement. Holding them to an alignment means saying, "You cannot do that, you are X-aligned". I will never, ever do that to a full PC. If that's not what you meant, then ignore me on that point back there :) PCs have free will. They will act as they will. Those actions may have consequences they don't expect or don't like. Possibly losing class abilities is a consequence, rather like cheesing off the town guards. I feel the race alignment descriptors are for the DM, and NPCs. If I allow a PC to be of such a race, I will either treat that character to have levels in a racial class that has alignment restrictions, or ignore the limitation altogether. [/QUOTE]
