Newbie coffers
The bit I just added about putting things in newbie coffers is based on a little bit of testing that Elomish and I did. Basically, he got out of alignment, then put stuff into the Fish and Sek newbie coffers with me detecting his alignment in-between. Here's what we got:
- Starting alignment: 6 degrees good.
- After putting a Fish relic in the Fish coffer: 3 degrees good.
- After putting a Fish relic in the Fish coffer: 0 degrees good/evil.
- After putting a Sek relic in the Sek coffer: 2 degrees evil.
- After putting a set of Sek prayer beads in the Sek coffer: 2 degrees evil.
- After putting a set of Sek prayer beads in the Sek coffer: 3 degrees evil.
- After putting a set of Sek prayer beads in the Sek coffer: 4 degrees evil.
- After putting a set of Fish prayer beads in the Sek coffer: 4 degrees evil.
- After putting a set of Fish prayer beads in the Sek coffer: 4 degrees evil.
- After putting a set of Fish prayer beads in the Sek coffer: 4 degrees evil.
- After putting Heric's fine sabre (worth maybe $80ish or more) in the Fish coffer: 4 degrees evil.
- After putting a set of Fish prayer beads in the Fish coffer: 3 degrees evil.
- After putting a set of Fish prayer beads in the Fish coffer: 2 degrees evil.
- After putting a Sek prayer book in the Fish coffer: 2 degrees evil.
- After putting a Fish prayer book in the Fish coffer: 2 degrees evil.
- After putting a Fish prayer book in the Fish coffer: 1 degree evil.
- After putting more stuff in the Fish coffer: still 1 degree evil, and in perfect alignment for Fish.
The sabre was to test my idea that putting more expensive things in might move your alignment more, and also to test whether it would move your alignment to put something unconsecrated in. As for the relics apparently changing his alignment by three, three, and two degrees, I'm not sure whether that's because there's some random variation in the amount a relic changes your alignment in general, whether different deities' relics have different effects, whether it matters whether you worship the deity whose coffer you're putting things in, or whether it's because of rounding (or inaccuracy) in the ritual (for example, if he started as 5.5 good, then went down to 2.9 good, then .3 good, then 2.3 evil, or something like that, that might give the results we got without the three relics actually moving his alignment different amounts. I do suspect he was slightly good at the 0 good/evil point, since Fish was "a little concerned concerned" then, and I think Fish is "pleased" with a worshipper who is perfectly neutral).
