Lore wise, is a changeling following “the call” performing an evil act?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I’m trying to get some people together for Pathfinder, with me as the GM, but it doesn’t look too good for number of players. So I’m thinking of adding a changeling npc that is the daughter of one of the hags in Rise of the Runelords, who will succumb to the call from her mother when the group is near that location. I’ll just rule it not an evil act if it is evil to follow the call, but it made me want to know if there was an official stance on whether it was evil or not.

The Call is deliberately vague. There's nothign to indicate it's an evil act.

Rather, it is a self-destructive act, since going through the change will effectively annihilate the changeling to create a new hag.

There's also the matter of whether the changeling in question actually understands what the Call means. I imagine most who answer it get reclaimed by mommy before they ever realize they were being summoned to their doom.

The evil act in The Call is done by the hag who initiated it on her daughter, not the daughter who is just instinctively responding. The daughter doesn't even know that she's on a trek to her doom.
