[edit] Compatibility with Weapon Enchantments
A check mark (✓) means that the character can wield a weapon with this enchantment. Otherwise, a DC 20 UMD skill check is usually required to equip the weapon. In the case of axiomatic, anarchic, holy, and unholy weapons, the wielder suffers negative levels.

[edit] Compatibility with Armor Enchantments and item enchantments
A check mark (✓) means that the character will match the alignment-related equipment and benefit from it.
Unlike weapons, there is no UMD skill check required to equip items with alignment-related enchantments. Anyone can equip them freely (as long as regular requirements are fulfilled, like minimum level, etc.), but the alignment-related enchantment will not bring any effect.
Note that Taint of Evil is actually a penalty. The check mark indicates alignments escaping that penalty.
| Table: Alignments Compatibility with Armor enchantments and item enchantments | ||||||
| Enchantment (bonus type) | Lawful Good | Lawful Neutral | Neutral Good | True Neutral | Chaotic Good | Chaotic Neutral |
| Stability (+2 deflection to AC, +2 resistance to saves) | - | - | - | ✓ | - | - |
| Greater Stability (+4 deflection to AC, +4 resistance to saves) | - | - | - | ✓ | - | - |
| Superior Stability (+6 deflection to AC, +6 resistance to saves) | - | - | - | ✓ | - | - |
| Taint of evil (Negative level for all good aligned characters) | Negative level | ✓ | Negative level | ✓ | Negative level | ✓ |
[edit] Compatibility with Class
A check mark (✓) means that the class/alignment combination is valid. From the table below, you can see that some multi-classing is impossible. For example, you cannot multi-class Paladin with Barbarian, Bard, or Druid, as none of these three can be Lawful Good, while the Paladin must be Lawful Good. You cannot multi-class Monk and Barbarian, or Monk and Bard. You can multi-class Monk and Druid, but only with a Lawful Neutral alignment. Alignment changes can be purchased in the DDO Store.
