[QUOTE="Sejs, post: 3136398, member: 4910"] I think we're speaking to the same point here, Storyteller. You're saying alignment change can be a deliberate choice. I can certainly agree that it can be. What I'm saying is that until the Follow Through On It part happens, no alignment change has occured. So in the example here, the decision was deliberate, they backed it up and had proven their commitment to their new outlook by the time they were ready to take levels in blackguard. What I'm saying is that it can't be a matter of: evil cleric starts casting Unholy Blight on you, you say 'oh, well I'm evil now", and as a result the blight does you no harm. That until you back up your claim to the title o' Evilness, prove you meant what you said, that blight is still gonna hurt. Not a house rule - p.104 in the PHB. There's absolutely nothing preventing that from being the galvanizing event that starts the character to convert and they can state their intention to that effect, but until they start to back it up they're just words. If he wants to change here and now then he needs an Atonement. When the DM decides they're walking the walk, instead of just talking the talk. [/QUOTE]
