Was doing some testing on the kill Kranach quest, with the help of uncursed scrolls of balance:
Picking up the reward never seems to be counted as a chaotic act. If alignment is neutral, the act of chatting with Tywat after killing Kranach is chaotic. Conventional wisdom seemed to be that leaving the 3000 gold on the ground was necessary to complete paragon of order. Was this changed at some point? Does picking up the reward disqualify you, even if your alignment doesn't drop?Code:Lawful 2000 > kill > 2001 > turn in corpse > 2151 > chat > 2381 > collect reward > 2381 2000 > kill > 2001 > chat > 2201 > collect reward > 2201 > turn in corpse > 2351 2000 > kill > 2001 > chat > 2201 > turn in corpse > 2351 > collect reward > 2351 Neutral 0 > kill > 1 > turn in corpse > 151 > chat > 0 > collect reward > 0 0 > kill > 1 > chat > 0 > collect reward > 0 > turn in corpse > 150 0 > kill > 1 > chat > 0 > turn in corpse > 150 > collect reward > 150 Chaotic -2000 > kill > -2000 > turn in corpse > -2000 > chat > -2000 > collect reward > -2000 -2000 > kill > -2000 > chat > -2000 > collect reward > -2000 > turn in corpse > -2000 -2000 > kill > -2000 > chat > -2000 > turn in corpse > -2000 > collect reward > -2000
