[RPG] Can a monster cause a PC’s alignment to change

I'm DMing 1e "Village of Hommlet" and I think Lareth the Beautiful would enjoy causing the (1st level PC) lawful good cleric to become evil. Can he do this?

Best Answer

Not as written, but if you decide Lareth has a Helm of Opposite Alignment, he could accomplish it that way. This would require tricking or incapacitating the cleric, such as with a Hold Person spell. On the other hand, that's a pretty rare item to use up on a 1st level cleric, when a villain could generally achieve more with a higher level character.
