AD&D Alignment Shifts: Do Harsh Penalties Make the Cut?


Listen Later

Changing alignment in a character is a serious matter, impacting experience levels, abilities, and possibly deities. Clerics face significant consequences, while druids lose their class entirely if their alignment shifts from neutral. Involuntary changes may be reversed with atonement and sacrifice. Players must understand that alignment changes require substantial moral commitment, and frequent changes lead to penalties, including loss of language skills and experience.
