The lack of permissions, though were irrelevant, since you could by game permission make an eco terrorist druid and a bard with a personal code. The optimal build isn't one you had to take. And the artifact alignment change wasn't really relevant since you are allowed to act outside of your alignment, so it isn't as if you could be forced to always act LN. Alignments are just the box you fit in most of the time. So as long as you were playing LN 51% of the time, you could play anything else the remaining 49% of the time and still be acting according to LN. Hell, if you were willing to lose a level you could just change alignments to whatever you want.
I'm also curious what the alignment of the PC was before the alignment change.
