Are the number of Alignment cards the limiting factor in the various alignments that characters can change to? The rule book states that the number of components limits the total resources, and I'm curious if that really applies to alignment changes as well.

For instance, would a good character ignore the result of encountering Mephistopheles if there are no more Evil Alignment cards to be taken?

Hi If your are Good and encounter Mephi then u just turn the card and whoop you are evil

Is the player supposed to simply remember his new alignment, if there are no more Evil Alignment cards to go around due to either being on the board (e.g. on the Pantheon place) or on other characters who have previously become evil?

I normally would believe that to be the case, but there is a clear section in the rules that states "all resources are limited to the number of components provided with the game." And "when a character changes alignment, an Alignment Card is taken and placed beside the character card." You discard that Alignment Card when the character reverts back to its original alignment.

So, if the rule about Limited Resources applies to Changing Alignment, then I think that characters will be stuck in their current alignment, if the necessary Alignment Card is not able to be taken, unless they are reverting back to their original alignment, in which case they would actually be discarding the Alignment Card that they already have.

Yes all Alignment cards are limited, so if you can't take a card then you can't change to that alignment.

It's a little unfair really, since there are four Neutral alignment cards, but Evil and Good have to share the same Four.

I posted this already in the other thread, but it applies here too. Neutral alignment cards weren't introduced until Sacred Pools, so I don't think alignment cards follow the same rules for "limited resources." To me a "resource" is something that can be spent, like gold or fate tokens, or something with a significant effect, like strength, craft, or life counters. The alignment cards to me seem like placeholders more than anything for reminding yourself
