A character's alignment is determined on a scale ranging from +1000 to -1000.
Alignment changes based on killing [[mobile|creatures]] of alignments different from
your own. The alignment ranges work as follows:

Players will see their alignment at level 10. You can look at your alignment
by typing 'score' or 'worth'.

The different alignments allow you to wear different pieces of equipment. To
determine if you can wear an item, first [[identify]] the item and check the
alignments allowed. If you are not of the same alignment(s) allowed, you will
not be able to wear the item. If your alignment changes while you are wearing
an object that forbids your new alignment, the item will [[zap]] off of your body.

Abilities of some [[class|classes]] are also determined by alignment. For example,
certain spells may be gained or lost depending upon your alignment. Note that
if the ability was practiced before switching, it is not lost once you return
to your original status. Practice sessions are not lost either.

[[Nephandi]] and [[Paladin|Paladins]] lose the majority of their abilities if their alignment
strays to one which their gods do not favor. [[Cleric|Clerics]] are affected by each level
of alignment, more so than other [[class|classes]].

An evil character may not be able to cast beneficial spells on others, and
devout characters may not be able to cast harmful spells on others. Neutral
characters may find they can cast some spells, but not others. Each class can
see what spells they receive by looking at their slist as alignment changes.

== Definition ==

'''Alignment''', or align, is a rating of how good or evil a player or [[mobile|mob]] is. It is a figure between 1000 (very good) and -1000 (very evil), although for [[mobile|mobs]] we can only estimate it using the [[know alignment]] spell and even players can't see their own alignment in figures until level 20. Because 'good' is an ambiguous word, players with positive alignment are said to be 'devout' instead. There is an inbetween state, neutral, as this table shows:

{| border="1" cellspacing="0"
|-
! width="100px" | Name
! width="100px" | Value
|-
| Devout (dev)
| 1000 to 350
|-
| Neutral (neut)
| 350 to -350
|-
| Evil
| -350 to -1000
|}

Your alignment can affect what equipment you wear, what spells you get (particularly for [[Cleric|Clerics]], [[Paladin|Paladins]] and [[Nephandi]]) and how some [[mobile|mobs]] and rooms react to you. Those of evil alignment may also find themselves disadvantaged because of the [[protection]] or [[benediction]] spells.

Your alignment changes (with the expection of [[vampire candy]]) when you kill a [[mobile|mob]] with a different alignment to yours - your alignment shifts towards the [[mobile|mob]]'s alignment figure, the size of the shift proportional to the difference between the figures.

A lot of equipment is align-restricted, like the evil/neut weapon, [[darkness]], which can only be wielded by players with evil or neutral align. There are no penalties for wearing the wrong equipment because the game doesn't let you do it - it will [[zap]] as soon as you try. This also happens if you align changes (e.g. from neut to dev) while you're wearing the equipment, so you need to [[realign]] in order to not [[zap]].

Also when you use the <code>group</code> command to show your group's status, it shows your alignment as an initial on the side. For some reason, this is on an entirely different system, as below:

{| border="1" cellspacing="0"
! width="50px" | Initial
! width="60px" | Meaning
! width="50px" | Align
|-
| A
| Angelic
| Devout
|-
| N
| Neutral
| Neutral
|-
| S
| Satanic
| Evil
|}

== Examples ==

* [[Bahamut]] is a devout [[mobile|mob]].
* A [[Crown of the Ages]] is a devout-only piece of equipment.
* [[User:Tokai|Tokai]] is an evil [[cleric]].
