Message: <blockquote data-quote="RigaMortus" data-source="post: 750925" data-attributes="member: 1077">Most animals have an alignment of Neutral based on the fact that they do not know right from wrong, they act on instict.  When an animal becomes Awakened, it gains more Intelligence (among other things) and can therefore think on it's own and what not.  I'd assume that this point it knows the different between right and wrong.  So would such an Awakened animal have a change in alignment?  Is it possible to Awaken a tiger in the hopes to have him be the protector of the jungle, only to have the tiger be more interested in causing harm then doing good?It mentions that the Awakened animal serves the character in specific tasks or endeavors if the character can communicate the character's desires to it.  So would the Awakened animal be of the alignment of the character casting the spell?  If an evil Druid casts this to do evil, I guess the animal would have no choice to do so, or would it?----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Next question...What if a Paladin commissions a powerful Druid to cast Awaken on his Special Mount?  Would that be more harmful than helpful for the Paladin?Based on that, would the "empathy" between the Paladin and the mount now be broken?  Would the mount continue to serve the Paladin or is there the chance it would leave?  It says the character (the one casting the spell) shares no empathy with the Awakened animal, so maybe the Paladin still would?</blockquote>
