[QUOTE="Henry@home, post: 29010, member: 159"] This brings up a good point, DnDChick. In my games, I strive for a standard that is in the new PHB, that seems to work rather well. If a player flagrantly violates his or her alignment more than three times, I secretly change it without them knowing. It may say, for example "chaotic good" on their character sheet, but if they have been murdering peasants or secretly robbing orphans, in my notes, for detect evil spells and the like, they will register as "chaotic evil" - and the only way they find this out is by actually checking. It leads to some real surprises when they try to pick up a good-aligned magic item or if they have to pass a portal or forbiddance spell. :) Also, just to have evidence, after the game, I make sure to write up full examples of these alignment violations, just in case I am called on it. It's better to hve an audit trail. :) [/QUOTE]
