Hiding/Altering Alignment

[The Dark Elf]

dont think so in second edition.

[Library Ogre]

Not many, but, then again, there aren't a lot of ways to directly detect alignment, either.

[drewkitty ~..~]

The question that was asked in the OP is only relevant when asked about how to hide a SN being's alinement. This is because they show/broadcast their alinement in their aura.

Off hand, the only powers I know that can detect alinement, that are not in the 1st ed PFRPG, are the "Detect (SN) Evil" and the "Detect (SN) Good" psi powers.

[Lukterran]

No, the nature of magic would not be fooled by disguising the persons aura with magic or psionics. So no, you couldn't get around rune weapon bonding or protection circle magic with this means.

Now there are ways that an alignment can be changed. Via curses, power circles and life changing events. However, these are more permanent.

For example you would not be able to temporality reverse your alignment, then bond with an evil rune sword, then six months later undo the alignment reversal and still continue to be bonded to the weapon.

There is also the Church of light and dark spell holy weapon, it can turn the weapon black when someone evil comes near.

Multiple personalities.

[The Dark Elf]

The Deceiver crystal star's power #2 alters alignment! There you go - hope the assassin is psionic.

[Svartalf]

Crystal stars? Where's that from?

[The Dark Elf]

Island at the edge of the World

(the Valley at the top of the world in the above book).

[Svartalf]

Oy Vey... I haven't read that one in over a decade, I had completely forgotten about all the special magic there

[Grug]

It's not a magical ability, but the psionic ability 'Mind Block' will hide your alignment.

As for the second question, probably would be gms call. Don't think there is anything to even base it off of...

[AzathothXy]

There is an ability available to rune weapons that will make the weapon appear as a normal weapon, and disguise the users alignment. I think its listed at the end of Dragons and Gods.

[Nekira Sudacne]

There is also an NPC in Tolkeen who has a runic mask that can disguise the user's alignment, amoung other powers.

Source? From what?

[kiralon]

first ed psionics

2nd edition PFRPG main book, I believe page 171. under the psionic power of sense evil, last paragraph or so.

It is Palladium, you know you have to go on a scavenger hunt for rules and such!

[Tor]

first ed psionics

Page 129 does say it works against sense evil, but there might be ways besides that to sense alignment. See Aura would still work, so you'd need Alter Aura stacked with Mind Block.

Mind Block's merely level 2 so majors can get it, but since Generate Personal Aura (page 132) is level 7, only Masters would have that.

Ah, okay, *scribbles in*

[kiralon]

If you are selfish you wont come as anything as see aura only detects good, bad and neutral lol.

[Tor]

LOOOL, am now wondering if the embarassment over not correcting that blunder was why See Aura's alignment-sensing powers were rage-stripped.

[Jerell]

Did someone say Rage-stripping? That sounds.... interesting. A little rough though.
