This means that while a goblin can be nasty, a Dwarf stalwart, and an orc can be a psychotic axe-murderer they do not have the supernatural attributes of being LAWFUL or EVIL or CHAOTIC in the sense that they react in a certain way to magical effects.Demons on the other hand are creatures of supernatural Evil and Chaos, and can be affected by magic as such.Since most clerics will not have an alignment this opens for the possibility of having corrupt churches, but a Lawful god will still not grant a Chaotic spell.For good or ill this will also remove the 'we can kill the orc infants because they are evil' argument.</blockquote>
