Developer question (spoilers): plot hooks for a certain type of character?


Carrion Crown


Sorry for the ambiguous title thread. I know from personal experience that players who do not read "GM Only- Spoiler" threads, can still get spoiled by specific thread titles.

************************

ANYWAY, HERE'S MY QUESTION:

I have a player considering being a Changeling. They're thinking of changing from their already well built character to a whole new concept to accomodate this new race concept.

That's cool, but now their struggling trying to reconcile their original character concept, and possibly end up playing something other than what they actually wanted to play. I'm almost sorry I brought it up now. They think there might be something cool in store for them, in terms of gaming experience, if they play this "mystery" race. You see, I've explained the basic concept of a changeling, but not gotten into the juicy details.

So in response this perception that they might have a special story, I'd like to be able to convey reasonable expectations.

So without further ado- Are there any actual hags in the AP, that I might be able to use as plot hooks for a PC?

I have no problem adding a hag just for them, but I'm just wondering if there is anything already woven into the later chapters that is just prime to hang a plot hook on?

Thanks in advance!

Even if there aren't, (I've only read the first two thus far and start GM'ing the first one this weekend) I would definitely come up with one and use it as a side plot.


The player opted not to.. but I am bumping this for the sake of my own curiousity.

There are...

Spoiler:

...indeed some hags in Carrion Crown. But perhaps not in the way you might think.
