Fluff: You have a strong sense of self. Hardly anything can effect your strength of mind. Crunch: When affected by an alignment-altering affect, you may choose to shrug it off. Also, you gain a +2 bonus to saves versus Charms and Compulsions. Underpowered? Overpowered? Discuss.

This feat is much more situational (most if not all charms/compulsions require will saves), unlike Iron Will. Based on which I'd probably bump it to +3 or +4, myself. Plus, Immunity to alignment-changing effects is so minor and out of the ordinary as to be almost a nonissue. I think there's a feat out there (in Sandstorm?) that gives you a blanket +4 to saves vs. mind effecting effects... Edit for clarity: "so minor and out of the ordinary" is meant as "it's a benefit that is fully possible to never be relevant in someone's whole adventuring career".
