=== The Alignment System ===

There are 3 settings for character alignment. The player may choose any upon the start of character creation

'''Law''' upholds justice....sometimes through any means

'''Neutral''' wishes to attain a balance for inner peace

'''Chaos''' lives however it damn well wants....despite certain consequences


Every character begins with an Alignment Frame. Depending on creation, it may start from 0 (Truly Chaotic) to 100 (Upholder of Law). As the game continues, the DM may choose to offer the players a choice as a group or separately. These choices may affect allies, enemies, and neutral parties throughout the campaign. A choice may affect a player's Frame by no more then 15 to 25 points. 


For example, player 1 has been allied with a Knights Templar unit, acting as an agent of the Holy Lodis Empire. But the player takes pity on a group of Palatians who had been stealing food to support their respective families. The DM gives the player a choice.


Spare the Thieves
or
Execute order


If the player chooses to execute them, the DM grants them +15 to their AF, turning them Semi-Lawful. They will be considered a reliable friend of the Lodis Empire and its allies such as the Glendale Family and the Paladian Nobles, but the Revolutionary Army (whom the player briefly worked with to stop an attack by Satyrs and Goblins) will no longer consider them friend; rather, they will call him out for it and attack on sight.


Note that some Prestige Classes and a few Tier 2 Classes have some restrictions concerning who is allowed to become part of that Class. The Order of Philara will NEVER ordain any man or woman who is beyond Neutral etc.
