I have been playing around with my chaos knight and some scrolls of balance, and I kept thinking I'd done the math wrong to convert him to Lawful, because it was taking a LOT longer than I thought it would, even if I adjusted for the character's level.
Eventually I just wrote some more scrolls of balance and did a little checking with giving gold to beggars.
Gold given in increments of a thousand, six times; should have given me about 120 stones of alignment. It gave me 12.
Similarly, low-level food seems not to work at all to raise alignment--a pile of ~200 cooked roaches, given to a beggar one by one, did not raise alignment even one stone.
I have also been wearing a blessed amulet of order, and as far as I can tell, it doesn't work, or works very slowly.
I noticed that saving Khlevaster while at Neutral did not change my alignment to Lawful, as it normally would.
My theory is that a chaos knight's alignment changes to Law at about a tenth of the rate as any other character, meaning you need to do ten times as many Lawful acts as any other character would.
Also, it seems that the weaker Lawful acts, such as giving a beggar a cooked roach, are probably rounded off. While a normal character might get a stone or two from that Lawful act, the chaos knight gets none because at that penalty he's getting about a tenth of a stone, and that doesn't count. That may also be the reason for the ineffectiveness of the amulet of order.
Has anybody else noticed this?
