Alignment

Alignment in DDO is similar to the. There is one major difference - in DDO, characters are not permitted to be Evil, although many monsters and NPCs are.

Changing alignment
You set your alignment when you create your character. Alignment change tokens are available from the DDO Store (BtA). Another option is True and Iconic Reincarnation.

Lesser reincarnation does not allow you to change alignment. Also, you cannot use alignment change tokens during lesser reincarnation.

Alignment change tokens do not allow you to change your alignment to one incompatible with the classes you already have selected - see below for restrictions.

Compatibility with Class
A check mark (✓) means that the class/alignment combination is valid. Alignment changes can be purchased in the DDO Store if you want to pick a class that is incompatible with your alignment.


 * * Warlock alignment restrictions are based on the pact they choose at character creation, or when taking their first Warlock level. Alignments other than True Neutral make it impossible to choose certain pacts.
 * Fey and Carceri Storm have no restrictions.
 * Fiend and Abyss warlocks cannot be Good; nor can Acolytes of the Skin.
 * Great Old One warlocks cannot be Lawful.
 * Celestial warlocks cannot be Chaotic (or Evil, but this is presently impossible.)

Archetypes have the same alignment restrictions as their base classes, with the exception of Acolyte of the Skin, which removes the Warlock's Pact option - Acolytes cannot be Good.

Owing to these restrictions, certain classes can never be taken together, as shown in the table below:

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.

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.
