3e SRD:Helm of Opposite Alignment
Helm of Opposite Alignment
This metal hat looks like a typical helmet. When placed upon the head, however, its curse immediately takes effect (Will save negates DC 15). The alignment of the wearer is radically altered-good to evil, chaotic to lawful, neutral to some extreme commitment (LE, LG, CE, or CG)-to an alignment as different as possible from the former alignment. Alteration in alignment is mental as well as moral, and the individual changed by the magic thoroughly enjoys his or her new outlook.
Only a wish or a miracle can restore former alignment, and the affected individual does not make any attempt to return to the former alignment. (In fact, the character views the prospect with horror and avoids it in any way possible.) If a character of a class with an alignment requirement is affected, an atonement spell is needed as well if the curse is to be obliterated. Note that this is a one-use item: once a helm of opposite alignment has functioned, it loses all magical properties.
