[QUOTE="Jemal, post: 4249713, member: 9026"] I've always been under the impression that you loose all benefits of a Prestige classes at any time when you no longer meet the requirements for that class, but I've never actually seen that STATED anywhere (Unless it was a sage advice/ask wizards ruling). I know base classes with alignment restriction state whether or not you loose benefits for changing alignments, but not prestige classes, which lends more weight to the "if you don't meet the requirements you loose the abilities". Take for example Assassin and Blackguard. Both have the "Evil" Requirement. If you can change alignments from another prestige class, why not them? Why can't you be playing a LG Blackguard/Assassin and just say you changed alignments? Another example : The 'heroics' feat from spell compendium gives you a bonus Fighter feat for a short time. Why couldn't you use it to meet the requirements for a class, then keep the class after the spell runs out? If such were the case, any class with a feat that can be obtained as a bonus fighter feat would just replace that requirement with "able to cast heroics or hire somebody to cast it for you" .. just sayin. While it's reasonable to assume that a high level character has changed alignments along his path (Heck, just look at my 'bodin' character from Albedo's other campaign.. Vile evil turned Exalted Good, but he doesn't break any rules), he would still suffer the consequences of his actions. As for Deathwatch being evil - Have you read the spell description? It's basically designed to let evil casters know how easy their prey will be to finish off. The fact that some healers have used it to aid THAT function is a great example of adapting a spell to a nonstandard application, but doesn't change the original intent of the spell. [/QUOTE]
