There are two ways to '''convert''' yourself to a different [[alignment]]. An [[altar]] can also be converted to your alignment, provided it is not in [[Gehennom]] or a high altar.

== Converting an altar ==

{{main|Sacrifice#Cross-aligned altars}}

If you make a normal sacrifice on a non-coaligned non-high altar outside of Gehennom while your [[alignment record]] is not negative, there is a chance that you will convert the altar to your alignment. (The altar to Moloch in [[Orcish Town]] can also be converted.) A [[Sacrifice#Sacrificing creatures of own race|same-race sacrifice]] on a lawful or neutral altar is also guaranteed to convert it to chaotic.

== Converting yourself ==

You can change your alignment by the following methods:

* Put on a [[helm of opposite alignment]]. Lawful characters will become chaotic, and vice versa. Neutral characters will become lawful or chaotic, depending on the individual helm being worn. This change lasts until you remove (or [[Scroll of destroy armor|destroy]]) the helm, though this is complicated by the fact that the helm will [[autocurse]].
* Sacrifice on a cross-aligned altar while your alignment record is negative, or sacrifice a co-aligned [[unicorn]] on a cross-aligned altar. You will ''permanently'' become the alignment of the altar. You can only convert yourself this way once per game, and if done before you are admitted to your [[quest]] it will make the game [[unwinnable]]. You cannot become [[unaligned]].

By converting yourself, you can pick up an opposite-aligned [[quest artifact]] that would normally evade your grasp, and continue to hold the artifact if you then change alignment again while holding it, as long as you do not drop the artifact or put it into a container. You can also [[ascend]] at a cross-aligned high altar by converting your alignment, though you will miss out on a [[score]] multiplier for ascending with your starting alignment. You cannot be admitted to your [[quest]] after converting or while wearing a helm of opposite alignment.
