Has the character been casting any of certain spells like Create Zombie or Summon Demon?
Has the character been spending a lot of time in areas with Unholy sanctity without attending temple afterward?
Is the character under an Unholy spell or curse?

Then they ping. Does this lead to false positives or even occasionally false negatives, particularly if someone has managed to create an area of Unholy sanctity? You betcha.

I pretty much agree. DF as a line super doesn't need something like this. There are reasons behind how it's implicit view of alignment works. The thread however is nice as a resource for people who want an alignment system in the same vein as Ghostdancer.
