Archeologists of any alignment should get experience for digging up graves, rather than penalizing Lawfuls.

When a god smites you, the pool of possible smites should vary according to the god’s alignment. Some examples:

  • Chaotic god: melts your flesh with acid.
  • Lawful god: blinds you with light.
  • Lawful god: your armor gets turned white and cancelled, possibly made nonmagical.
  • Chaotic god: they send an avatar to “seduce” you (unresistably), injuring your legs for several hundred turns.

Knights should be given a tame ki-rin from their god when they get crowned. Possibly only if they have enhanced their riding skill; a knight who hasn’t enhanced it probably wants some other gift. Since ki-rin are lawful, a knight who has converted to some other alignment and is being crowned by a non-lawful god probably should not be granted one.

If you are a chaotic Knight, Excalibur should evade your grasp, being impossible to pick up as if it were a crossaligned quest artifact.

(Additional rule for EvilHack: Dirge should evade the grasp of lawful knights.)

Getting crowned as a lawful character should unlock the ability to dip for Excalibur if you are currently unable to, or raise the odds for successfully dipping to what Knights get.

Allow all lawful devils (or a random set of lawful devils) to accept a bribe, not just Asmodeus and Baalzebub. They will not vanish completely, but they will turn peaceful.

If a system is implemented that tracks the amount of booze you have drunk throughout the game, lawful gods start to penalize the player for drinking too much after a while.

Lawfuls get an alignment penalty for writing graffiti with a marker, even if it’s Elbereth or something else useful.

Your alignment record should shift over time based on your alignment:

  • Chaotics get -1 penalties over time for failing to do any chaotic behavior.
  • Neutrals get +1 alignment bonuses more slowly over time by not doing anything.
  • Lawfuls get neither of these and need to get their bonuses on their own.
  • Alternatively, lawfuls accumulate bonuses by doing nothing (not breaking the law).

Lawful and neutral gods should be angered (or do something angry) if you consort with a foocubus on their altars or in their temples.

Lawful and neutral gods should respect any conducts you currently have when giving you stuff:

  • If you have been illiterate, they will not give you a spellbook.
  • If you have been weaponless, they will not give you artifact weapons (maybe could give a +1 intrinsic damage bonus instead).
  • If you have been pacifist, they may send tame minions.

Meanwhile, chaotic gods will ignore these rules and give you whatever.
