Planar Environments

Planar Environments: The Quick and Dirty

Your alignment is (x,y), where x is Law/Chaos, and y is Good/Evil. (0,0) is pure Chaotic Evil. 45 is pure neutral. 30 is on the border between Neutrality and either Chaos or Evil, depending on which axis it's modifying.

For the charts below, calculate the difference between your alignment on each axis and the alignment of the environment on each axis.

Law/Chaos

0-5

+4 circumstance bonus to all d20 rolls, as well as your AC and the DCs of any abilities you use. Your movement speed is doubled. You gain Evasion and Mettle.

-4. SR19

66-75

Important Note: Only someone with an ethical stance lower than 30 or higher than 60 can get a +2, and only someone lower than 15 or higher than 75 can get a +4. Without this rule, neutral people would have a large advantage. Only strongly good, evil, chaotic, or lawful people can benefit from their environment to the fullest extent, and they are in the most peril at the other end of the spectrum.
