[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 4678785, member: 46559"] The duergar packs are well equipped with tools of restraint: shackles, manacles, ropes, whips, and nets. They each wear chainmail and carry a padded greatclub, the effects of which Tank is quite familiar with. The leader's neck is adorned with a small silver medallion, depicting a gauntleted fist gripping a pair of shackles. When Tank tips over his pack, a small shower of gold coins falls out. ooc: 45g. [sblock=alignment follies]This is highly confusing. Here's what the lycanthropy description says: There are two things that are unclear about this. First, what are the alignment(s) that you might be changing to? The animal form in question is a dire rat, which the SRD claims is always true neutral. Fair enough. What about "the appropriate lycanthrope"? The wererat stat block says always LE, but right above the text I just quoted is a table showing preferred alignments for common lycanthropes, where it lists wererats as CE. Which alignment does Tank take, if he deliberately changes to hybrid or animal form? It matters, because if it's LE, Tank loses access to some of his barbarian abilities. Second, there are two events in there that can "permanently" change your alignment. But neither of them are one-time events; you could involuntarily change into animal form, and then later voluntarily take hybrid form, and vice versa. Are we to believe that Tank will be swapping back and forth between N and CE/LE? Surely that's ridiculous. Given this mess, and the fact that I'm really uninterested in forcing alignment change on a player, I'm strongly inclined to just throw up my hands and forget the whole mess. No alignment changes needed; Tank just stays as he is. Any judges watching, what are your feelings on the matter? For now, we'll just ignore the idea and carry on; if we later decide we want to play alignment roulette, we can deal with it then. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
