[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8040259, member: 29398"] They're only plot killers if you don't account for their existence up front and either have means of dealing with it or just accept it'll happen. In a D&D murder mystery, if someone busting out [I]Know Alignment[/I] catches you-as-DM off guard then your prep has some rather glaring holes in it. (ditto [I]Speak With Dead[/I] or just about any other common divination spell) And spells that trigger off alignment are great! If you're a Cleric setting up your temple defenses, don't you want to be able to discourage those of opposed ethos from going places they shouldn't? Of course I change the lore - I've consistently said this all along. Do pay attention, 007. And if changing the lore means changing the alignment so be it; my point is that a) I had an alignment suggestion in the first place to start from and b) having that suggestion is far more useful than not having it.
