Yet cool! Looks like I got to read up on them...This is a good point, and one I have been intentionally loose on, mainly because the original reference of the Nameless Legion was also vague on the subject. The Nameless Legion first appeared in Dragon #304, and in it, they make reference to a number of traditionally "evil" races as members of the Legion (hell, the Blood Feasters are all undead!), yet in the same article, they say that the Legion does not allow "Evil" characters. They do make reference to corralling up creatures that would serve their needs, and using the psychic surgery to affect their alignment.So, I have been trying to play that balancing act. Not only that, but one of the big stresses of Eberron is the fact that alignment is not the end-all and be-all determinant of evil. With that in mind, I was going to address the issue of "evil" and "chaos" once I pick the final characters.But I might as do it now... so here goes:- Any race that is specified as "always evil" or "always chaotic" is not allowed. So far, the races we have are the Centaur ("usually neutral good"), the Gloura ("often neutral good"), the Lumi ("usually lawful good"), the Mondron (which I get to read today), and the Nycter (usually neutral). The other races are all traditional PC races, which the exception of the Chaos Gnome. I originally winced at this one, but after reading Races of Stone, noticed that it mentioned that they are "naturally inclined towards chaos", which allows for other alignments (which AmorFati did, making him Neutral).  - Characters must not have a Chaotic or Evil component of their alignment. I have not been checking this part of the character sheets, mainly because I didn't want to get bogged down in the nitty-gritty of each character yet. Plus, so far, this is the easiest to tweak.- Classes with an alignment requirement of chaotic or evil will have to be subject to analysis. For instance, I'm sure the Nameless Legion would perform assassinations (hell, an example in the Dragon issue mentions Mind Flayers assassinating the head of an army!). So why would they not have an assassin (as the PrC?). I could see why they would not have a Blackguard, or a Chaos Mage. So, here is what I would rule: you can take a class like assassin, but your character must also not have an Evil alignment when starting the legion. So, you could have been an assassin, and was mindwiped. But, since you are no longer "Evil", you can no longer level up in that class. Classes that force you to lose abilities if you can no longer meet the requirements of the class (like Blackguards or Clerics worshipping evil/chaotic deitites) would never be approached/allowed into the Legion.</blockquote>
