[QUOTE="Someone, post: 3278725, member: 5656"] Seapkingas a non-judge, the way I do alingment changes when I DM is to speak with the player and dicsuss how the alignment in his character sheet doesn't describe accurately how his character acts, and then suggest a change; not because he's "violated his alignment", but because the new one would be an accurate portrayal of it, and without following any rules for it, just what we think it's appropiate character wise. Now, given the nature of open campaings this is less doable. But I still don't think any hard rules about them would be appropiate; first because many times it'd lead to absurd situations, like Rystil pointed out, second because in my experience people tend to play their character quite consistently and there's no real need for a rule; third, if a character wants to change his character's alignment is his business - maybe a epiphanic change from CE to LG is what he wants of feels appropiate, and fourth, if a DM thinks an alignment change is in order and the player doesn't, the issue can be discussed in the General thread or a separate proposal thread, where the case can be examined by itself. Those instances (where there's disagreement between the player's current DM and the DM) are rare and varied enough to be ruled ad-hoc. [/QUOTE]
