10-06-04, 01:25 PM I cant find this anywhere in the DM guide: what happens if you take some levels in a prestige class that requires a certain aligment and then later change it ?? Do you LOSE the abilities of the class (we are NOT talking about divine spells or abilities, which you certainly lose if you change alignment) or you just can't advance in the class ?

10-06-04, 08:07 PM different classes have different restrictions and penalties on that. some lose all class abilities and cannot gain levels upon alignment change. others are only restricted from gaining more levels, but do not lose class abilities already gained.

check the dexcriptions of the PrC you have in mind. they are usually noted at the end of the PrC abilities, as a footnote to the class. but in general, alignment based abilities like divine spells are lost, but non alignment based abilities like flurry of blows are not.

The class is Weightless foot from Dragon 289. Logically, he would not lose any ability, but I was checking here anyway.
