You can move one step of alignment (g t n),(n t e), (l t n), (n t c), or vicey vercey
With zero penalties. Above that, there will be various penalties, some visible, some not so visible. Skill/spec/spell loss I believe is coded for those who change more than any 2 steps, but There are penalties like extra vuln to wrath (hate to be a cn cloud giant that bloodoaths...he would be paladin fodder nomatter what) and there are other not so visible penalties as well.
These can all be made moot if you roleplay your change through the blessings of the Immortals.
