[QUOTE="atom crash, post: 2049840, member: 22162"] I need a bit of help here. I have a player in my game whose character has changed alignments from CN to LG by way of the [i]balance[/i] card from a Deck of Many Things. This happened a little more than a month ago in game time. Right after he pulled the card and changed alignments, the character died and was raised two days later, and the player has since played the character as a reluctant LG. he is compelled to act in a lawful and good manner though he is still tempted by his former tendencies. Now the player has intimated to me his desire to change alignment back toward the original. So he's gonna get a negative level. But what after that? Is that negative level a one-time deal for failing to act according to the new alignment? Or does he keep getting a negative level for not acting LG? Or does he just keep getting a negative level until he finally loses a level? I'm leaning toward just giving him one negative level, making him roll a Fort Save after 24 hours, and then letting him change his alignment. Normally, there'd be no game penalty for changing alignment -- none of his class abilities are restricted by alignment -- but this is an alignment imposed by an artifact. Also, what would the DC be for that Fort Save against the negative level? Here's the relevant rules info: [/QUOTE]
