Ultimate Campaign on Alignment

Source Ultimate Campaign

Over time, a character might become disillusioned and drift toward a different alignment. This section describes an optional system for tracking incremental changes to a character's alignment.

Every character has a 9-point scale for the lawful-chaotic alignment axis (see Table 3–1), with 1, 2, and 3 representing lawful, 7, 8, and 9 representing chaotic, and the rest representing neutral. Each character has a similar scale for the good-evil alignment axis, with 1, 2, and 3 representing good and 7, 8, and 9 representing evil.

The player decides where the character's alignment is on the alignment track. For example, a mischievous rogue with a good heart may be a 7 on the lawful-chaotic axis and an 2 on the good-evil axis—a chaotic good character who is more good than chaotic. a cruel but honorable knight could be a 1 on the lawful-chaotic axis and a 7 on the good-evil axis, a lawful evil character who is far more lawful than evil.

When a character performs an action that is out of character for his listed alignment, the GM decides whether the action is enough to shift the character's alignment on the appropriate alignment track, and if so by how much. Executing a captured orc combatant so the PCs don't have to haul it to a distant prison may only be 1 step toward evil; torturing a hostage for information may be 2 steps. For minor infractions, the GM can just issue a warning that further actions will cause a shift on the alignment track. Extreme, deliberate acts, such as burning down an orphanage full of children just for the fun of it, should push the character fully into that alignment, regardless of the character's original position on the alignment track.

When a character's position on an alignment track shifts into another alignment (such as from 3 to 4 or 7 to 6), change the character's listed alignment to the new alignment. The character takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and checks because of guilt, regrets, or bad luck associated with abandoning his previous ethics. After 1 week, this penalty goes away. Note that the character is still "on the border" of his previous alignment, and later actions could make him shift back to his previous alignment, with a repeat of the 1-week penalty, so after an alignment change, it is in the character's best interest to act in accordance with that new alignment, embracing his new beliefs and philosophy. This penalty is in addition to any other consequences of changing alignment (such as becoming an ex-cleric or ex-paladin).

The mechanism for strengthening a character's position within a particular section of the alignment track requires greater effort than acting out of character. a person who is a little bit good (3) has to work hard to become very good (1)—even a lifetime of mildly good acts is insufficient. If a character makes a great effort toward promoting or maintaining that alignment, the GM should decide whether that merits a shift toward one of the "safest" points on the alignment track (1, 5, and 9) where most out-of-alignment acts don't risk an immediate alignment change. This helps prevent players from gaming the system by offsetting minor evil acts with an equivalent number of minor good acts to remain within the good section of the evil-good alignment axis.

A forced alignment change, such as from a helm of opposite alignment, shifts a character's position on each alignment track to the corresponding opposite position (1 becomes 9, 2 becomes 8, and so on); a true neutral character jumps to an extreme point on both alignment tracks (1/1, 1/9, 9/1, or 9/9).

Unlike a deliberate alignment change, a forced alignment change does not incur the normal 1-week penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and checks.

Using an atonement spell moves the character's position on the alignment track the minimum amount to return the character to his previous alignment. For example, a fallen paladin using atonement to become good again shifts her position on the good-evil track to 3, even if she originally was at 2 or 1. The spell is a means of reversing the worst of an indiscretion, not for gaining a safe buffer within an alignment zone on the track, and this gives the character an incentive to work toward entrenching herself within the tenets of the restored alignment. Using the "reverse magical alignment change" option of atonement does not give the target the normal alignment-change penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, and checks, but accepting the "redemption or temptation" option does.

A GM who wants a grittier campaign or more flexibility in changing alignment can alter the size of the alignment zones (where everything but 1 and 9 are neutral), use a scale with more than 9 points to allow more granularity when quantifying alignment acts, or create transition areas between the alignment zones where characters can slowly change alignment without penalty.
Forced Alignment Change

When a forced alignment change is purely arbitrary (such as from a curse or magic item), some players look upon this change as a chance explore the character acting in a different way, but most players prefer the character's original concept and want it to return to normal as soon as possible. GMs should avoid overusing forced alignment changes or make them only temporary (such as a scenario where the characters are dominated by an evil entity and are freed once the entity has accomplished a particular goal). Remember that if players wanted to play characters of other alignments, they would have asked to play them, and radical shifts ruin many character concepts.

Some classes lose class abilities when a character changes alignments. Alignment changes may be interesting for a short adventure, such as freeing a monk from the curse of a chaotic monkey god, but these situations should be unusual. For some characters, changing alignment is a character-altering concept akin to destroying a wizard's spellbook or amputating an archer's arm—the scars are long-lasting, hard to reverse, and end up punishing the player.

Das liest für mich so, als müsste ein Charakter, der Neutral bleiben will, im Wechsel Taten der beiden extremen Gesinnungen machen.

Das ist etwas, was ich etwa bei Baldurs Gate immer hasste, man konnte nie wen bösen spielen, weil ein drittel aller Quests guten Ruf gab, und die beste möglichkeit, schlechten ruf zu bekommen, war einfach Leute abzuschlachten.

[Mystral Wolkenglanz]

Ich verzichte dann denke ich doch auf den Nachteil.

@Pestbeule: Was sagst Du zu diesen optinalen Regeln?

Luis wäre dann rechtschaffend böse 1[1]-9[2]

1.	auch der rechtschaffend-chaotischen achse
2.	auf der gut-bösen achse

Davon bin ich nicht so begeistert. Wird nicht wirklich gebraucht und ich will auch ungern jede Aktion einer Gesinnung zuteilen.

[Sensemann]

Okay

Ist ansonsten meine Drawback- und Traitwahl in Ordnung?

[Pestbeule]

Jop. passt zu luis.

[Sensemann]

Okay...dann trage es mir morgen ein.
Pride hätte evtl. auch gepasst

[Pestbeule]

Ja auf jeden Fall. Aus meiner Sicht sogar noch besser.

[Cayden Cailean]

Hätte heute Abend ein wenig Zeit was zu schreiben.

Weis jetzt nicht ob ich mit den Geschäftsleuten noch was posten soll... Weil ein neues Gespräch nun noch anfangen...

Wirst du gleich schieben? Sollen wir das Gespräch einfach neben dem IG noch führen?

[Pestbeule]

Ich kann einen Parallelthread aufmachen und nenne ihn mal Jegors Gespräche. Im normalen Thread mach ich einen Platzhalter. Und dann poste ich den gesamten Inhalt dort rein. Wäre eine Lösung. Oder du wartest auf Tag zwei. Obwohl...heute kommt der nicht mehr - außer Sense und ich sind kurz angebunden.

[Nicolas Seek]

Post ist ansonsten da...werde ansonsten Nicolas zu Liebe, damit er nicht warten muss, das Gespräch langsam ausklingen lassen...

Was meinst du damit? Ich muss doch nicht warten?

[Cayden Cailean]

ähm, habe gerade gemerkt dass ich mein Schweizer Steckdosenadapter für den Labtop vergessen habe...  

Ich glaube ich warte einfach auf Tag 2, da der akku bald fertig ist...

Mal schauen wie ich mir einen Ersatz besorgen kann.

Wenn du mit Luis interagieren möchtest schon. Da der noch in Tag 1 steckt.
