Here's something odd that happened a few years ago
I'd been playing a LE Wizard/Cleric of Hexor.
The DM was awarding us heavily in XP for completing goals in secret from the other party members.
I had been working towards a goal of becoming a Lich in secret from the other party members.
I'd completed my preparations.
But in role-playing the character I figured he would want to enjoy his last few days of being human. So among other indulgences such as increased eating, drinking heavily, and finalizing my will incase the ritual didn't work, He decided to take the Party's rogue up on her offer of a little "romp."
It turns out she had a secret too. One of her little playful bites and scratchs required the DM to make a secret check for me. She was a were-tiger and I had contracted lycanthrope.
I went ahead with my Lich ritual. Which is an Evil act. Afterwards, I had my first change. WereTigers are True Neutral. Once I learn about my status from the rogue, I play around with it and learn to control it. Then I manage to do a voluntary change. Mind you I am a Lich now.
"Any voluntary change to animal or hybrid form immediately and permanently changes the character’s alignment to that of the appropriate lycanthrope."
So I am now a Were-tiger Lich wizard/cleric of Hextor, but my alignment is now TN and I can no longer cast spells as a cleric because I am two steps away from Hextor's alignment.
