This is false. There are no subclass or race alignment restrictions in 5E. Practically, some of the Paladin subclasses require you to be good to maintain your oath, but alignment is never mentioned in the rules.

There are no spells that affect alignments in any way.



There are more magical items that go off of alignment than anything. Other than, there is Oathbreaker Paladin (DMG) that says you have to be evil. The only spell I can think of that can involves alignment is Glyph of Warding, which allows you to trigger based on alignment.
