[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 5507087, member: 32740"] Libris Mortis is optional material, and I'm willing to bet it's not owned and/or unread by one or more players. In general this is key to the issue that a lot of responders have with the situation. What ARE the rules? Do the players KNOW the rules? Are you SURE the players know the rules - just because THE DM knows what the DM knows doesn't mean the players can read the DM's mind... Is the DM setting a trap by CHANGING the rules that the players believe they are operating under? Are players being punished for simply not guessing that the rules HAVE changed? Etc. If the players have never run into this sort of alignment "anomaly" before in the campaign and they weren't made explicitly aware of the possibility at the outset then what the players understood and what the DM [I]thought[/I] they understood are going to be different animals.
