Looking over [MENTION=29558]Mowgli[/MENTION] 's new character Breninyr I noticed that the character is a NG monk.
This brings up a couple of issues of alignment:
1) What is our policy towards alignment change for characters?
2) Should we allow backstory changes in alignment that take the character away from the class's initial alignment requirement?
I'm torn on the alignment change issue. When I first started playing alignment years (and years) ago alignment changes were a big deal. I don't think it is so much anymore but it still gives me a bit of pause. I actually toyed with the idea of changing Fury's alignment from CN to NG based on personality changes he's gone through over the course of adventuring. Part of the reason I haven't is because I didn't really know if it was a good idea to open that possibility.
Let me say, I don't think Mowgli is trying anything bad but I'm not sure I like the precedent of allowing characters with alignments different than the initial required alignment, even with 'Ex-<character>' rules currently in play.
