>detect evil pings the child
Either the aura is a result of supernatural influences and not moral choices, at which point the child may simply be uplifted by its mother's good nature, or something is actively attempting to force the paladin's hand into unwittingly causing more suffering than is necessary, such as a ploy by a sinister force outside of the immediate description of the scene.

There is nothing to be done until the child is born but to research the scenario. If the child is a tiefling or some similar tainted being, it is in the hands it must be in to become a force of good. Ensure the mother knows this. If it is possessed or some other evil is afoot, then this evil must be routed, not the child itself.

Aborting it is only an option should the mortal soul already be gone and birthing it would kill the mother. If it can be birthed and then purged, all the better.

Cast detect evil on other pregnant women with the same level of focus to have large sample. If all unborn babies ping as evil, pray to my god to file a bug report.

Else, monitor the pregnant women, ask for her cooperation, confine her until birth if reasonably possible while seeing to her well being (getting confined for 9 months max because you have a possible demon in your uterus isn't such a bad thing).

Once evil baby is born, ping it again and if it's still evil, smite/redeem/jail/exorcise as appropriate.

If the DM is still pushing the "risk of world ending vs life of a single woman" angle at this point, I will tell him : "you know, if you wanted to run dark heresy so badly, you could have just told us"

Being evil isn't a crime, it's an inclination. You can't jail or kill people for being sociopaths, you can only punish them if they perform evil acts. There are plenty of law-abiding citizens in D&D who are Evil, and they should not be persecuted just because they'd like to butcher their neighbours with a carving knife for beating them in a Town's Largest Pumpkin competition.
>>
>>47455245
In certain countries you can forcibly hospitalise sociopaths.

>>47455256
A country that does not respect the freedom of those who do not harm others deserves all the sociopaths it gets.
>>
>>47455237
Except that's not how it works either.
For something to actually be strong enough to give an evil aura it has to possess divine power or be supernatural.
So even if his cone says "There's evil over there!" He knows to be wary for something of big power and danger.
>>
>>47454392
If you're not an idiot (ie. placing a lot of weight directly on the belly), thatis extremely unlikely. To use an analogue, if the baby is inside the house, you driving your car into the garage isn't going to hurt it, no matter how badly you park it (unless you somehow drive your car through the garage wall and right into the room the baby is in, but in that case something has gone phenomenally wrong, and your house is really shittily built too).
>>
>>47455256
I agree with >>47455277. Any culture that locks people away because they MIGHT be dangerous, but whom have made no conspiracy to commit a crime, is infringing upon the basic rights and freedoms all men and women should possess. In the context of OP's statement, any society that would kill or jail Evil individuals would itself be Evil, likely Lawful Evil as it is abusing the law to punish non-criminals.

>>47455338
Pretty much. To a Paladin, detecting Evil on a non-supernatural person is probably like tasting a grain of dirt on your tongue, unpleasant but not much more than that. Detecting Evil on, say, a mid-level Demon or minor evil magical item would be like having your head dunked in a pool of mud. For a place to be Evil enough for a paladin to clearly sense that quality, it would have to be something like a ritual murder site or an altar to a profane god, something so dark that its presence is a stain upon the very land itself.

Well, if the mother is a Drow, that's very likely. Apparently it's a common enough occurrence to them that "orgasm caused by fetuses murdering each other in your womb" has a specific word in Drow language, and is also the main reason they bother getting pregnant.

>>47453544 and >>47453575 have it right.

Aside from the fact Detect Evil does not work that way, this is textbook shit GMing. The whole scenario reeks of some unwinnable "lel you fall" scenario. Even if that's not the case, at it's best is a cringey attempt at making the game DARK and MATURE. If any GM tried this on me, I'd roll my eyes and tell him if an unborn child is pinging evil there's probably something much worse going on which demands my attention. I'm not killing a pregnant woman just because the GM is a retard.

Also, half the replies in this thread and most others are absolute shit. What the fuck is going on.

>>47455434
So if you know someone suffers from vivid and frightening hallucinations, you'd wait for him to hurt himself or someone else before you quarantine him?

Someone is walking around with a deadly and contagious disease, you're going to wait until he infects someone before you put him in the hospital?

The freedom of people to live safe from the threat of someone who is ill and has the potential to harm them is more important than the freedom of the sick person to do as he pleases. That goes for all kinds of sick people, from psychopaths to contagions.

Depends on which Order the paladin belongs to. Some Orders will prioritize the protection of the innocent other will prioritize the destruction of evil. In any case it should be very easy for the paladin to decide what he has to do.

If the paladin does not belong to an Order he has his/her own ethos and rules he has to follow which again will make his decision very easy.

No competent GM will introduce a plotpoint like that in the manner OP describes. What you present is an interesting idea, but it falls flat on its ass if the GM up and says "the fetus is Evil. Do you kill the mother or not?"

First off, who the fuck introduces a plot line like this where the only means to even uncover it's there is to have a paladin who compulsively pings "detect evil?"

Second off, why would he introduce this plot line as a "lel, do you kill the mother or not?" scenario when there are better ways of going about it?

It just seems like a scenario where the GM decided to either make his game arbitrarily edgy for big boy points without taking any consideration into how well this particular plot point is being introduced to the campaign. If I was a paladin being thrown into a situation like this, I know that it's because the GM either wants me to fall or the GM doesn't know what he's doing as far as his own story is concerned.

Third, why the trip?

You seem to forget the role of Paladins

>'What we gonna do, sarge?' wailed Colon. Ah ... Keep the peace. That was the thing. People often failed to understand what that meant. You'd go to some life-threatening disturbance like a couple of neighbours scrapping in the street over who owned the hedge between their properties, and they'd both be bursting with aggrieved self-righteousness, both yelling, their wives would either be having a private scrap on the side or would have adjourned to a kitchen for a shared pot of tea and a chat, and they all expected you to sort it out. And they could never understand that it wasn't your job. Sorting it out was a job for a good surveyor and a couple of lawyers, maybe. Your job was to quell the impulse to bang their stupid fat heads together, to ignore the affronted speeches of dodgy self-justification, to get them to stop shouting and to get them off the street. Once that had been achieved, your job was over. You weren't some walking god, dispensing finely tuned natural justice. Your job was simply to bring back peace. Of course, if your few strict words didn't work and Mr Smith subsequently clambered over the disputed hedge and stabbed Mr Jones to death with a pair of gardening shears, then you had a different job, sorting out the notorious Hedge Argument Murder. But at least it was one you were trained to do. People expected all kinds of things from coppers, but there was one thing that sooner or later they all wanted: make this not be happening.

I get up and slap the GM as hard as I can.
If he opens his mouth and the first phrase isn't "I'm sorry" I slap him again.
I will repeat the process of slapping him precisely once every time he opens his mouth until he DOES apologize and rescind the imbecilic edgy "14-year-old faggot who thinks he knows shit about real life" scenario in what is literally my ONLY chance to play D&D likely all this month with my job and other current responsibilities, and understands that a COLLABERATIVE game played for COLLECTIVE entertainment is not about exploring his pathetically small-minded and childish attempts to be edgy and "cool".

When the game continues I will act as though nothing has changed and continue as normal because I'm just going to assume hitting him like the bitch he was being the first time until he apologized was enough.

If I was to pull 'evil baby' on my players it'd be because I'm trying to teach them to stop being edgy fuckers themselves and as OP said "Abortion may kill the mother" as if the players first thought was 'baby murder' rather then 'why is a baby pinging evil' then I'd say the player themself is being pretty fucking bismuth already.

Having had to actually deal with two seperate players before who would willfully slay anything that pinged evil because 'that's what paladins do' and having finally delt with them by pulling this kind of over the top despicable bullshit, I say good job OP. If your player thought 'Baby Murder' then you're more then justified to pull this.

>>47468309
Yeah, if I were GM I would have talked to those players like adults beforehand and if they didn't listen I would have kicked them out like adults because there's consequences to acting a certain way and some people need to learn that the hard way apparently.
I don't believe in being passive-aggressive about D&D and my players; if you're a causing or being problem I'll talk to you, be you either GM or player.

And since I'm legitimately autistic (not even pretend autistic or "acting stupid" autistic like most folks on here) and have had communication difficulties my whole life, literally no one else on Earth has an excuse in not doing the same.

>>47468334
I tried to talk to them several times and because they were friends, as with my whole group, I was loathe to just kick them out.
So that's when I fought fire with fire.

First time I just started to make every person in any sort of authority ping evil and later on, the second one had everyone wearing 'hide alignment' enchanted rings.
Literally everyone.
First time round, it led to the death of three government officials, numerous encounters with guards and finally their god telling them no before the player started to change.
The second time they went a killed the first non-villain NPC they found wearing such a ring, a child, and fell.
The BBEG was making the rings for their agents and made such a surplus they were being used for barter.

I sympathize I guess.
I just try not to play with friends whom I know are gonna shit the bed for everyone at the game. I mean no offense to some folks, but I don't put certain people in situations where I know they will choose to fail or do poorly and then never learn, especially if they're my friends and I know their limitations as people from past experience.
I wouldn't enter a one-legged friend in a footrace either, it's just putting him in a situation where he'll do poorly.

DMs situation is absolute garbage. It indicates either a world view it or a conflation of"dark" and "grown up". And if a DM threw this at me I'd refuse to bite. Mostly because any decent Paladin player would figure this indicates a more pressing problem he should investigate.

But you are acting like a turbo sperg and I wouldn't want you at the table any more than I'd want the GM.

HOW?

This is THE epitome of bullshit.

Every. EVERY child is innocent and pure unless something happens to them that will steer them over the years into becoming evil.

Is it a really dark and twisted childhood that ultimately corrupted the kid, a god of evil mind-raping it into becoming its servant or other things...or simply parents neglecting a kid and causing it to develop behaviors that would turn it into a sadistically psychopathic asshole.

This reeks of "MAKE THE PALADIN FALL" plan and it is shit GM-ing.

>>47474543
Could be that the child is/is possessed by an evil outsider. That's pretty much the only way it could ping in detect evil, as the spell only detects creatures that either have at least 5 HD or are evil outsiders. I do believe that half-fiends (not tieflings, but proper "my mom/dad was a demon" cambions and alu-fiends) are considered outsiders, so that's probably what's going on.
>>
>>47474543
nah dude. that thing is evil if it is the prophisised child of an evil god, born not from the mother being a pure and innocent virgin, but rather the town slut that is forced to do so to survive.

Fair enough. Though there is still the thing on how the baby is possessed.

If it was so before it even developed a soul, then it would be justified.

But if it has its soul still around, then it's a whole different matter.

>>47475372
Even the child of a evil god can turn good and say "FUCK DESTINY" when it gets older.

How? By giving it the love and warmth every child should be given and striving to make a good person out of it. This way a lot of bad guys wouldn't have become that way.

Oh and a small application of tough love.

Navigating this minefield is virtually impossible, but hopefully you can at least make informed decisions and walk into the trap with your eyes open. That’s, sadly, about the best you can hope for if you want to retain integrity and don’t want to engage in nepotism and virtue signalling.

Mental illness that severe is no longer a case of "might be dangerous". Furthermore, their inability to make rational decisions is curtailed by their affliction; in essence they are already deprived of their freedom by their illness.

Someone with a deadly and contagious disease is also past the point of "might be dangerous" - assuming they know of their disease, and it is communicable by ordinary contact with others, i.e.airborne or touch (STIs are a special case, ordinarily requiring some form of reciprocation for transmission to occur) - they have clearly conspired to do harm and so deserve imprisonment. Likewise if they are ignorant of their affliction, upon learning of it they have a moral imperative to seek treatment.
Considering STIs, which are a little more complex, simply having an STI is no grounds for imprisoning someone, because the infection is not transmissable under normal everyday life. However the burden lies on them to inform potential partners of the risk of infection, with failure to do so being a criminal offence.

"Evil" in the D&D sense is not like that. THings only ping as evil if they have either already committed, or are conspiring to commit an evil deed, or if they are intrinsically Evil, i.e. demons and devils.
In both cases we have gone from "might be dangerous" to "are dangerous" so again, incarceration is warranted
