[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8292101, member: 6779196"] I believe that’s the default assumption, yes. If it wasn’t clear, I was describing a house rule. And under that house rule, it isn’t that the alignment on your sheet isn’t “correct,” it’s that it describes what your character strives for, whether or not they live up to it. In WoD terms, it’s Demeanor, not Nature. That’s reasonable. Frankly, I don’t really use alignment any more, but if I was going to, I would make the character’s “true” alignment unknown unless detected by magic. I wouldn’t take anyone’s class features away because of an alignment shift though. It’d be more for things like attuning to magic items, or certain magical effects that target creatures of specific alignments. Since 5e has next to none of that, I usually don’t bother, but it might be relevant for the right campaign. Curse of Strahd, for example, has an unusually large number of effects that care about alignment for 5e. [/QUOTE]
