[QUOTE="Arcturus_Rugend, post: 809769, member: 11104"] I could see the argument that a outsider that has an alignment subtype would always match the alignment of its home plane, being born a creature of good or evil, law or chaos from the planar stuff of the multiverse. But I also like the idea of a creature being able to somehow redeem itself despite less than savory origins, or truly fall from grace into darkness. Does it say anywhere what plane rakshasas hail from? I was hoping to somehow tie the plane of origin of outsiders to their alignment subtype for all cases. This would make it much easier to explain creatures retaining their subtypes, despite the alignment of the original. Would it be a bad idea to assume all outsiders with the (Lawful) and (Evil) subtypes are from the Nine Hells? What would happen if a Balor (Chaotic, Evil) transformed into a Trumpet Archon (Lawful, Good)? Would it keep all it's alignment descriptors due to the immutable nature of outsiders? If so, would it be immune to Holy/Unholy Word and the like or susceptable to both? [/QUOTE]
