Evil Sister's Compendium: Hags Revisited version 0.3 A guide to planning wicked fey creatures as more nefarious foes. Cover Map by /u/mrvalor Homebrew by /u/mrvalor

Evil Sisters' Compedium Fey creatures of evil, born of violence, the hags are as intelligent and crafty as they are dangerous. Far from being just monsters and stronger than they look, even the lowliest hag is capable of shaping the history of civilization for centuries to come. This resource delves into the core ideas behind hags as presented in the 5th edition monster manual and offers supplemental information to use new and existing hag templates to make them a bit more terrifying. This Resource Consists of sections, focusing on content based on the RAW materials. Section 1: Faces of Evil This section provides spell lists and guidelines for hag spellcasters at variant caster levels, including expansions for the lists from both the Monster's Manual (MM) and Volo's Guide to Monsters (VGtM). With this content, make hags cast spells at a higher or lower level than RAW. Use this section to make hag covens more menacing.

Section 2: Mounstrous Motherhood This section details sea hags, green hags, night hags, annis hags, an bheur hags as less power, more powerful, and legendary beyond the stats in core books. Use this section to customize covens and make hags more or less powerful. The monster templates are built to D&D 5th edition CR guidelines but have not been playtested, use with caution.

Section 3: Dark Bargains This section details dark bargains with hags, with example payments and purchases that can be made, and curses for deal breakers. Use this section to tempt players, build your setting, or create fiersome antagonists who now owe boons to hags.

Section 4: Foul Nature Hags have extensive networks of creatures they groom, threaten, bribe, extort, and intimidate. This section provides tables for rolling the followers for a given type of hag, to beef up a hag antagonist and give them more flavor.

Section 5: Dark Sorority Every hag knows other hags, this section has tables for randomly rolling the other contacts in the hag community your hag NPC considers an ally or an enemy.

Section 6: Dark Lairs Gives ideas for lairs, but more specifically mechanics around lair actions and traps. Art by Britt Martin

Section 1: Faces of Evil Hag covens are decent spellcasters, but a bit restricted in the variations available. This section outlines ideas for hag covens both more and less powerful than those currently published. Inexperienced Coven. Hags are 8th level casters, increase CR by 1, must be within 15 feet of each other, spell DC is 10 + the hag's Int modifier, and the spell attack bonus is 2 + the hag's Int modifier.

Legendary Coven.

Note, you should carefully read all the spells in a coven's spell list before pitting them against a party. These spell lists have not been playtested. Standard Spell Lists The traditional hag coven spell list is pulled from the wizard's spell list and has a mixture of magic including transmutation, illusion, divination, necromancy, evocation, and enchantment. The expanded spell lists follow a similar pattern and avoids overlapping other hag coven spell lists, so each type and level of coven feels unique. Inexperienced Standard Coven Lacking the firepower and divination of a regular coven, the inexperienced standard coven relies more on debuffs and defense, most likely to slow down a group of heroes long enough to flee or summon allies to their aid. 1st level (4 slots): identify, ray of sickness

2nd level (3 slots): hold person, locate object

3rd level (3 slots): bestow curse, counterspel1

4th level (2 slots): phantasmal killer, polymorph Elder Standard Coven An elder standard coven has achieved a significant upgrade in firepower, sporting chain lightning as well as some additional support spells like detect thoughts. Along with the ability to manipulate groups of creatures, these covens can have a widespread effect on the surrounding areas. 1st level (4 slots): identify, ray of sickness, witch bolt

2nd level (3 slots): hold person, locate object, detect thoughts

3rd level (3 slots): bestow curse, counterspel1, lightning bolt

2nd level (3 slots): hold person, locate object, detect thoughts

3rd level (3 slots): bestow curse, counterspel1, lightning bolt

7th level (2 slots): mirage arcane, sequester

8th level (1 slot): anitpathy/sympathy, maze

9th level (1 slot): true polymorph Death Covens Death covens specialize in necromatic magic, pulling spells from almost exclusively necromancy schools but across spell lists. Inexperienced Death Coven Inexperienced death covens make up a lack of direct damage with spells to keep them alive, and at lower levels could be difficult to kill. 1st level (4 slots): false life, inflict wounds

2nd level (3 slots): gentle repose, ray of enfeeblement

3rd level (3 slots): animate dead, revivify, speak with dead

4th level (2 slots): death ward Elder Death Coven Having mastered higher level necrotic-damage dealing spells, elder death covens bring death and fear wherever they go. 1st level (4 slots): false life, inflict wounds, cause fear

7th level (2 slots): finger of death, symbol

8th level (1 slot): abi-dalzim's horrid wilting, maddening darkness

9th level (1 slot): true ressurrection Nature Covens Arguably the most powerful at higher levels, nature covens can affect the world around them in the most intimate of ways. They can act as forces of nature itself, if nature were possessed of evil desires and malicious intent. Nature covens specialize in nature spells, with access to spells across all of the diffent schools of magic. Inexperienced Nature Coven Inexperienced nature covens are still equipped with enough magic, when casting in concert to be a threat to most novice heroes. However, unless individually powerful they would like flee further into the wilderness from more advanced threats. 1st level (4 slots): entangle, speak with animals

2nd level (3 slots): flaming sphere, moonbeam, spike growth

3rd level (3 slots): call lightning, plant growth

4th level (2 slots): grasping vine Elder Nature Coven Elder nature covens have enough control over nature to be a major nuissance to most stable and civilized areas bordering their territory.

2nd level (3 slots): flaming sphere, moonbeam, spike growth, pass without trace

9th level (1 slot): storm of vengeance Art by MeesterAdam

Prophecy Covens Sages speak of ancient evils, plotting and guiding all humanoid civilizations towards ruin. The very existance of prophecy hags seems to increase the likelihood of such tales. Prophecy covens specialize in the schools of divination and enchantment. Inexperienced Prophecy Coven Inexperienced prophecy spend much of their time watching, learning, and waiting. Without much direct magical firepower, if an inexperienced coven is attacked by a superior force they will usually flee, then spend the rest of their enemies' lifetimes plotting against them. 1st level (4 slots): bane, bless

2nd level (3 slots): augury, detect thoughts

3rd level (3 slots): clairvoyance, dispel magic, nondetection

4th level (3 slots): arcane eye Elder Prophecy Coven Elder prophecy covens have learned to shift the tides of fate, and the minds of others, to their way of thinking.

4th level (3 slots): arcane eye, locate creature

Beyond their ability to mainpulate others and see the strands of fate, the hags are truly dangerous. 1st level (4 slots): bane, bless, charm person

Section 2: Monstrous Motherhood A section detailing hags at various levels of maturity, including daughters, mothers, and grandmothers. Includes over 10 different statblocks to give your hags some variety. Map by /u/mrvalor

Art by Killbe Mounstrous Motherhood At the age of 13, hags begin manifesting their true, malignant fey natures. Most grow from daughters to sisters relatively quickly, although the length of the process is not determined by time. Growing from one phase of maturity to the next is dependent on the type of hag they currently are, how well they follow their twisted natures, how successful they are in achieving their desires, and how well they manage to manipulate and control other hags. Only through a combination of these actions can a hag raise in reputation, rank, and power. Hag Daughter Hags manifesting at the age of 13 are hag daughters. Some are so cruel and devious in nature that they skip the daughter phase and immediately become sisters. Conversly, some hags who don't completely embrace their hag natures can remain hag daughters for decades, or even centuries, although it is seldom that a hag daughter survives for that long without growing in power. More powerful hags will take advantage of a hag daughter at every oppurtunity, thus those that exist must find a more powerful hag to serve, hide themselves from the community, or immediately begin committing attrocities until they grow into a sister. Hag Sister Standard hags that exist in the prime material planes are hag sisters. They represent those as described in published WOtC supplements. Hag Mother Hags typically rise in rank by dominating, manipulating, and coercing enough of their sisters to become something greater. In an unusual but unsurprisingly violent ritual with specifics determined by the hag's type, a hag must devour some of the power of her sisters, as well as whatever mortal flesh she most desires. The hag then becomes something greater than her previous incarnation. One a hag become a hag mother, she can no longer switch hag types. Her role in the universe has been set, and path types. The only way for her to then switch types is to give up her status, in a process even more violent than the oritinal transformaion, and become a sister once again. Few hags have ever survived this process. Hag Grandmother The most ancient hags, only one of each type is ever located on the same prime material plane at one time. A grandmother hag doesn't rule their subjects, as much as extoll the apex of power for a hag. Hags far and wide fear grandmother hags, often avoid them at all costs. To be in a coven with a grandmother hag, is both a blessing and a nightmare. As arrogant as their daughters and granddaughters, a hag grandmother is also exceedingly powerful. Any hag is dangerous, a hag grandmother can easily topple entire kingdoms or even civilizations with her plots and schemes. Hags Statblocks Hag CR Sea Hag 2 Sea Hag Grandmother 10 Green Hag Daughter 1 Green Hag 3 Green Hag Grandmother 13 Night Hag Daughter 3 Night Hag 5 Night Hag Grandmother 13 Annis Hag Daughter 3 Annis Hag 6 Annis Hag Grandmother 17 Bheur Hag Daughter 2 Bheur Hag 7 Bheur Hag Grandmother 17 Note about Challenge Rating: The CR that hags use in RAW already do not perfectly follow the mechanics laid out in the DMG. The rules presented here will not be rigorously playtested. Take a party's class features, magic items, racial abilities, and experience into consideration over any arbitrarily assigned CR value.

Sea Hags Unlike other hags, sea hags do not possess the innate magic that their sisters do. Even annis hags have some fort of magic. Rather, sea hags only power is that they are so incredibly ugly that their looks can cause foes to flee, and even fall to the ground dead. Suffice to say, the sea hags are a little irritated by the balance of power in their ranks. Sea Hag Daughters Either sea hags come out fully formed or keep their youngest well hidden because no one has ever met a sea hag daughter and told the tale. Sea Hag Mothers Sea hag mothers are simply more hideous versions of normal sea hags who are tougher, stronger, and more violent than their sisters. In order to achieve their transformation, a sea hag must kill all but one in a group of people, once a year on the winter's solstice, every year for 13 years. Sea hags who attempt this process spend years researching their targets, often using their connections and influence to make sure a particular coastal hamlet is unguarded, or a merchant ship sets out at just the right time. There must always be a survivor of the murders, to tell the tells and put fear into the hearts of mortals. Sometimes, a coven of sea hags will embark on this journey together. While not very dangerous on their own, a coven of sea hags can cause quite a lot of damage. Sea Hag Grandmother Sea hag grandmothers on different worlds have done different things to achieve their status. Many realms don't have a sea hag grandmother. One common path to power, is finding something in the deep. Something unknown, forgotten, and so old and powerful it forgo its eyes hundreds of thousands of years ago. A willing sea hag mother can learn from this ancient creature, master magic to rival her fey sisters, and claim dominion over her kind.

Any humanoid that starts its turn within 60 feet of the hag and can see the hag's true form must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the hag is within line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the hag's Horrific Appearance for the next 24 hours. Unless the target is surprised or the revelation of the hag's true form is sudden, the target can avert its eyes and avoid making the initial saving throw. Until the start of its next turn, a creature that averts its eyes has disadvantage on attack rolls against the hag. Actions Multiattack. The hag makes two melee weapon attacks. Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) slashing damage. Death Glare. The hag targets one frightened creature she can see within 60 feet of her.

The hag covers herself and anything she is wearing or carrying with a magical illu sion that makes her look like an ugly creature of her general size and humanoid shape. The effect ends if the hag takes a bonus action to end it or if she dies. The changes wrought by this effect fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, the hag could appear to have no claws, but someone touching her hand might feel the claws. Otherwise, a creature must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a DC 16 Intelligence (Investigation) check to discern that the hag is disguised.

Green Hags The typical hags, green hags prefer to spend most of their time in the woods. Somewhat of the stereotypical evil fey, green hags have innate illusion and enchantment spells, as well as the ability to disguise their appearance. As they get older, green hags get stronger, more insidious, and meaner, but they grow more innate magic as they mature as well. Green Hag Daughters Whether raised by their mothers, aunts, or raised by humans, a hag daughter wakes up one day to realize her potential. Suddenly she is stronger than any other person in her village, can speak strange languages, and has magic at her disposal. It doesn't take long for others to realize something is horribly wrong with a green hag daughter. Most flee into the wilderness, or quickly take advantage of their innate illusion magic. Green hag daughters often seek the company of other hag daughters, or get forcibly taken in and controlled by a more powerful hag. While not as dangerous as older hags, a green hag daughter is cautious enough to only fight on her own terms, and gifted enough to successfully flee more often than not. In order to mature further, a green hag daughter must find herself a lair, a successfully ruin life of one victim every month, who hangs themselves on or before the full moon of that month, for 13 consecutive lunar months. Once completed, the hag takes on her new, more powerful form. Green Hag Mothers Hag mothers are hags who have managed to gain the blessing of the green hag grandmother, or were a member of a coven long enough that they discovered the mystical and alchemical processes for taking on their new form. Alternatively, a hag who has mothered 13 daughters, who have all become full hags will mature into her more advanced state. Green hag mothers further develop powers over others, now able to lure others to sleep, cause mental damage through their whispers, and even make victims unable to tell friend from foe. These hags powerful, using their vast networks to manipulate human and humanoid civilization alike, while massing followers and minions to do their bidding. The Green Hag Grandmother The green hag grandmother keeps her court more ordered than any other of the hags, except possibly the night hag grandmother. She actively calls her network of green hags "The True Fey" court, "The True Church", and "The True Arcane" order, to be disrespectful to the other fey, the gods, and the wizard orders of humans all at the same time. While she doesn't expect loyalty, she does expect fealty from her progeny. Hags who actively disobey the grandmother or who refuse to perform services at her request are dealt with quickly, and severely. Green Hag Daughter Medium fey, neutral evil Armor Class 15

Otherwise, a creature must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a DC 30 Intelligence (Investigation) check to discern that the hag is disguised. Invisible Passage. The hag magically turns invisible until she attacks or casts a spell, or until her concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). While invisible, she leaves no physical evidence of her passage, so she can be tracked only by magic. Any equipment she wears or carries is invisible with her Legendary Actions The hag can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The hag regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn. Cantrip. The hag casts dancing lights, minor illusion, or vicious mockery. Spell (Costs 3 Actions). The hag casts an innate or coven spell. Claw. The hag makes a claw attack. Invisible Retreat (Costs 2 Actions). The hag uses invisible passage and can move up to half her movement.

Night Hags Both fiends and fey, the night hags are amongst the most evil of the hags, if such a thing is possible. They collect and barter evil souls with the fiends of the outer planes, while sowing as much evil and discord in the world as possible. Night Hag Daughters Are almost always allowed to be raised by humans, that makes it much more terrifying for the parents and local community when the daughter finally turns. While not at full strength, a night hag daughter is still more than capable of butchering a handful of commoners with pitch forks. A night hag does not mature until she crafts both a Heartstone and a Soul bag. She innately knows how, but lacks the resources. Night hag daughters can spend months, days, or even years trying to find the components necessary to craft their tools of the trade.

Night Hag Mothers Night hags can only become mothers by harvesting enough souls to appease their fiendish overlords in the nine hells. By harvesting the souls of the most evil corrupted humans, usually ones they corrupted themselves, a night hag can win favor of a devil patron and have their status elevated. Of course, the rise in station also means a rise in expectations. Night hag mothers are even more capable of harvesting souls, and do so with the malicious gusto attributed to their kind. Additionally, night hag mothers begin to better understand the arcane, learning spells to not only decieve magic users, but also protect themselves from other outer planar creatures who might harm them, as well as dispel pesky wards designed to keep them at bay.

Night Hag Grandmother Night hag grandmothers are appointed, not earned, by their masters in the nine hells. Their arcane magic makes them powerful servants and spies for the lords of the nine hells, now able to teleport, trap planar enemies, and they are strong enough to repel relatively strong attacks against them. All night hags operating in their domains are expected to serve them, to the best of their abilities. Kin or not, they are still fiends, and subserviance can never be mistaken for loyalty. The only loyalty a night hag grandmother can expect to recieve is that which is backed by intimidation and the threat of violence.

Annis Hags Some believe the annis hags came about when hags attempted to mate with fomorian, devouring their children and trying to reproduce. Regardless of the truth or lies, annis hags are fond of giant-kin creatures as ugly and deformed as themselves. The more they mature, the larger and more powerful they become. Annis Hag Daughters Annis hag daughters are as often raised by half-ogres, ogres, and whatnot as they are by the hags. After all, mature annis spend their time tempting and corrupting young children. The annis daughters are brutish themselves, using their enhanced physical strength and terrifying visiage to browbeat those around them into submission. While not quite yet strong enough to take over a family of ogres or trolls, annis hag daughters will sometimes start with orcs, goblins, kobolds, or brigands, anything they can physically and socially control. It is unknown whether this process or some other process is responsible for them maturing into full grown hags. Because of their inherant chaotic magic, it could be some combination of both. Many believe annis hags actually grow to full maturity through time, the same as other beings although most hags call this theory nonsense. Annis Hag Mothers Annis hags eventually become mothers over time, or after they have adopted enough creatures as their surrogate children, or after they have corrupted enough children, or after a number of other possible things. Annis hag mothers are the same size as normal hags, but gain the ability to alter their size, becoming even larger and more frightening. When they do so, they can hug creatures equal to their size. Hag mothers often keep around families of the giant-kin creatures they've adopted, as well as mountain and hill monstrous creatures they've raised from birth. As much as they love corrupting children, annis hags also enjoy their pets and are surprisingly maternal in their own way. As much as they love controlling weaker creatures, they also enjoy showering them with discipline and sadistic tendencies. However, annis hags are fickle creatures, and once they have nurtured a given group of creatures, protected and led them for a time, they are sometimes prone to leaving and finding a new group with which to spend their time and resources. Annis Hag Grandmother The grandmother of the annis hags on the prime material plane cares little for the plots and machinations of her annis children. She wishes simply for them to act in the ways they choose, the same as her. She will often bind a large group of followers and minions to her will, wreaking havoc upon the countryside. Unlike night hags and green hags, who often excercise caution, an annis grandmother is a force of destruction in and of itself. The annis grandmother is not stupid, or unwise. Her plans will be intelligent and self serving, but often with no apparent logic behind them beyond desire. Annis grandmothers don't think of grand schemes or plans, they simply play on whatever desire or goal most strongly appeals to them. Additionally, they can enlarge themselves into gargantuan creatures, as tall as storm giants and nearly as strong. Also, they can jump tremendous heights, and control the earth itself to a lesser extent. Annis Hag Daughter Medium fey, chaotic evil Armor Class 14

Bheur Hags Bheur hags have innate magic, ready to be harnassed, but they require the proper materials and constructs to do it. Bheur Hag Daughters Bheur hag daughters, don't seem all that different from normal girls their age, initially. They don't grow giant claws, or become insanely strong. They do however, become cold, curious, and fascinated with the cold itself. They become resistant to cold temperatures, their hair turns white or blue, and they can control the weather itself with time and energy. Some such young girls are even kept and praised for their powers if raised in small, isolated farming villages. But underneath a Bheur hag daughter's new powers is a terrible hunger. All about them, the girls do not see people, they see meat, ready to be eaten. The humanoid flesh the bheur hag daughter consumes, the more she begins to understand her own nature. After enough flesh has been consumed, the daughter is blessed with an evil revelation, how to make a graystaff. The daughter then must find all of the components necessary. Upon assembling her staff, the daughter becomes a full fledged bheur hag. Bheur Hag Mother While the bheur hag mother still needs her staff to fuel some of her powers, she has begun to tap into the cold magic inside of her without it as well. Bheur hag mothers have begun to move past the need for their graystaffs, but still rely on it most of the time. In order for a bheur hag to mature, she must slay the bheur hag grandmother, something much easier said than done. Bheur Hag Grandmother The bheur hag grandmother is the essence of the winter, cold, and death. A monument to evil fey powers, even creatures of the unseelie court give her due respect. The bheur hag grandmother is cruel, sadistic, and has a heart of solid ice. Even other hag mothers and grandmothers avoid her whenever possible.

While frightened in this way, a creature is incapacitated, can't understand what others say, can't read, and speaks only in gibberish; the DM controls the creature's movement, which is erratic. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the hag's Maddening Feast for the next 24 hours.

Graystaff Staff, very rare (requires attunement by a druid, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard) You have resistance to cold damage while you hold this staff. The staff has 10 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: hold person (2 charges), cone of cold (5 charges), ice storm (4 charges), or wall of ice (4 charges). When you stand astride the staff and speak its command word, it then hovers beneath you and can be ridden in the air. It has a flying speed of 50 feet. It can carry up to 400 pounds, but its flying speed becomes 30 feet while carrying over 200 pounds. The broom stops hovering when you land. The staff regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1. the staff turns to water and is destroyed. Bheur Hag Grandmother Medium fey, chaotic evil Armor Class 19

Section 3: Dark Bargains A section detailing dark dealings with hags. Good for messing with the PCs, world building, and/or creating stories for your NPCs. Map by /u/mrvalor

Section 3: Dark Bargains Hags are quick to drive bargains with mortals, and have many things for purchase. Every purchase is considered to be a minor, moderate, or major purchase, requiring a minor, moderate, or major payment in return. A hag will often agree to minor purchases, but over time will want to elevate the purchases made by their victims. Both payments and puchases must be negotiated and agreed upon by the hag and the victim for the deal to take place. After the deal agreed upon and struck, they shake hands and the deal is sealed by unbreakable fey magic.

Semantics In this section, hag refers to the hag being purchased from and victim is the person making the purchase. The payment is what is being paid by the victim, the purchase is what is being provided by the hag.

Payments Payments can be many things, but are often services performed by the victim. A victim in a hurry, can instead chose to indebt themself to the hag. Service Payments Service payments are the most common, the victim agrees to perform a service in exchange for their purpose. Hags are never just doing favors for just one mortal, creature, or beast, but many at a time. As a result, one victim's payment might be another victim's purchase. Other times, the payment is for its own diabolical purpose. No one but the hag ever truly knows. The nature of the favor depends upon the nature of the person performing it. For good characters, it might be something sinister. For neutral characters, it might be something that is dangerous to them. For evil characters, it might be something that helps their enemies or looses them wealth. All service payments should be at least slightly suspect to the character asked to do them, increasing in severity for moderate and major payments. All service payments will be due before or immediately after the purchase is recieved. If the purchase is recieved before payment is exacted, there will be a time limit, usually counted in threes such as three hours, three days, three weeks, three months, or three years for the victim to complete the agreed upon service.

Minor service payment examples include: Frame an elven lady named Induimroth by forging documents in her name. (good)

If the victim fails their assigned task, but has not recieved their purchase yet, the hag might allow a second try but will usually place them into debt. See Indebted to a Hag. If the victim fails to make their payment and has already recieved payment, they become cursed until their payment is fullfilled. The hag might allow them to go into debt, but usually at a higher level of payment. Therefore, if someone defaults on a moderate payment, the hag might let them go into debt at the major level. Standard curses for nonpayment include: Minor Curse : The victim immediately suffers a -2 to an ability score of the hag's choosing. The effect is permanent until dispelled by remove curse or a similar, higher level spell.

: The victim immediately suffers a -2 to an ability score of the hag's choosing. The effect is permanent until dispelled by remove curse or a similar, higher level spell. Moderate Curse : The victim immediately suffers a -2 to two ability scores of the hag's choosing, or a -4 to one ability score. No ability score may be lowered below a 6 using this curse. The effect is permanent until dispelled by greater restoration or a similar, higher level spell.

: The victim immediately suffers a -2 to two ability scores of the hag's choosing, or a -4 to one ability score. No ability score may be lowered below a 6 using this curse. The effect is permanent until dispelled by greater restoration or a similar, higher level spell. Major Curse: The victim immediately suffers a -2 to three ability scores of the hag's choosing, a -4 to one ability score and a -2 to another ability score determined by the hag, or a -6 to one ability score determined by the hag. No ability score may be lowered below a 6 using this curse. The effect is permanent until dispelled by wish. Hags are spiteful creatures, and will often target either the thing a victim is best at, or the worst at. For example, they might target a fighter's strength to be curse, but if the fighter is alread unintelligent, they might toss an extra penalty on that instead. If the victim has a high charisma, the hag will quite often curse charisma. Hags despise those who are beautiful and charming. Material Payments A hag won't typically barter for individual objects, regardless of worth. They aren't creatures that think about specific things, they think about everything in relation to the whole. Common material payments are a percentage of the victim's total material worth at the time of payment or the time when the deal was struck, including all magic items, assets, and coin. If the victim has pets, mounts, servants, or even unclaimed inheritances, those values are included in the owed amount. This is usually a one time payment to be payed at a time of the hag's choosing. However, it can be paid over the period of 3 moon cycles, with payment due at a specific moon phase every lunar month. Hags prefer this because if the victim misses a payment, the victim becomes indebted to the hag. Fortunately, the hag cares more about quantity than quality, and will seldom dictate exactly what is used to pay the debt. There can be exceptions to this, in the case of heirlooms or items important to the victim. These however, are considered personal payments, described below. Material payments include: Minor payment : 25% of the victim's total worth.

: 25% of the victim's total worth. Moderate payment : 50% of the victim's total worth.

: 50% of the victim's total worth. Major payment: 100% of the victim's total worth. A victim not holding up to their end of the deal will suffer a curse fitting their breach of contract: Minor Curse : The victim suffers bad luck, loosing 50% of their current wealth over the next 1d8 days and 25% of all wealth they collect in the future. The effects of this curse are permanent can only by removed by a wish spell.

: The victim suffers bad luck, loosing 50% of their current wealth over the next 1d8 days and 25% of all wealth they collect in the future. The effects of this curse are permanent can only by removed by a wish spell. Moderate Curse : The victim suffers bad luck, loosing 100% of their current wealth over the next 1d8 days and 50% of all wealth they collect in the future. The effects of this curse are permanent can only by removed by a wish spell.

: The victim suffers bad luck, loosing 100% of their current wealth over the next 1d8 days and 50% of all wealth they collect in the future. The effects of this curse are permanent can only by removed by a wish spell. Major Curse: The victim suffers bad luck, loosing 100% of current wealth and all wealth they attempt to accumulate in the future. The effects of this curse are permanent can only by removed by a wish spell. Personal Payments Personal payments are payments of self. These are payments where instead of time or money, the victim is giving up a piece of themself to the hag. Because these are personal, they vary from person to person. Similar to material payments, often times a hag will not immediately enact the payment, prefering instead to demand payment at a time and place of their choosing. Example supernatural payments include: Minor personal payment examples: The victim promises their first born child to the hag.

The victim agrees to give permanently give up knowledge (loose a language or skill proficiency).

The victim looses their earliest childhood memories.

The victim gives up a trinket or heirloom they are fond of.

The victim gives up their voice.

The victim loans their natural gift to the hag (lowers their highest ability score by 6) for 1 week. Moderate personal payment examples: The victim gives up the ability to love the thing they love the most.

The victim gives up the ability to feel happiness.

The victim gives up a skill they have (loose 1 skill proficiency).

The victim looses all of their memories before adulthood.

The victim gives the hag an heirloom with monumental family value.

The victim loans their natural gift to the hag (lowers an ability score by 6) for 1 month.

The victim gives up their current (most prominent) profession for a year. Major personal payment examples: The victim vows to murder the creature they most love.

The victim looses all of their memories.

The victim gives up personal status. Only valid if they are a prince, queen, general, guildmaster, or similarly high titled person.

The victim gives up their voice. (bards)

The victim loans their natural gift to the hag (lowers an ability score by 6) permanently.

The victim is aged half of their natural lifespan.

The victim gives up their current (most prominent) profession forever.

Personal payments cannot be magically reversed by any known magical spell or ability from a mortal, not even a wish spell. For failing to hold up the side of the bargain with personal payments, hags are usually a bit more inventive and the curse takes the form of something more sinister than standard curses as detailed in the service payments section, although those can be used instead. Example inventive curses include: Minor curse examples: The victim is constantly hounded by foes rated as an medium fight (based on the power of the victim and their companions). Once defeated, new foes will replace them within 1d4 weeks.

The victim cannot tell a lie.

The victim ages at twice the normal rate.

The victim only heals half the normal amount from healing effects. Moderate curse examples: The victim is constantly hounded by foes rated as a hard fight (based on the power of the victim and their companions). Once defeated, new foes will replace them within 1d4 days.

The victim cannot tell the truth.

The victim ages at 5 times the normal rate.

The victim gains experience at half the normal rate. It takes twice the normal time to learn languages and tool proficiencies in down time.

Dice rolled to heal the victim are always treated as 1s. Major curse examples: The victim is constantly hounded by foes rated as an deadly fight (based on the power of the victim and their companions). Once defeated, new foes will replace them within 1d4 hours. The victim ages at 10 times the normal rate.

The victim cannot gain experience.

Healing spells and effects do not affect the victim. Unlike service payments and material payments, not even a wish spell can undo these curses. Only the hag who bestowed the curse can, if still alive, remove it. Indebted to a Hag Doing favors for a hag and breaking a bargain with a hag are both terrible ideas. The victim now has a minor, moderate, or major debt owed to the hag, equal to the payment they were supposed to provide. Those in debt can be expected to do the following at the hag's whim: Minor Service : A lesser crime against society or the natural order on the hag's behalf such as trespasing, pickpocketing, trivial theft, vandalism, killing innocent lesser creatures, disrespecting a holy place or object, etc.

: A lesser crime against society or the natural order on the hag's behalf such as trespasing, pickpocketing, trivial theft, vandalism, killing innocent lesser creatures, disrespecting a holy place or object, etc. Moderate Service : A more serious crime such as forgery, lying under oath, slander of the government, theft of an expensive treasure, assault, releasing a criminal from custody, killing a semi-intelligent creature, defacing a holy or mystical thing, etc.

: A more serious crime such as forgery, lying under oath, slander of the government, theft of an expensive treasure, assault, releasing a criminal from custody, killing a semi-intelligent creature, defacing a holy or mystical thing, etc. Major Service: Most serious of crimes such as treason, murder, mass murder, attempted rebellion, making a natural creature extinct, killing an innocent sentient creature, corrupting a place of peace, stealing a national treasure/religious artificat, etc. If the service is below the level of debt incurred by the victim, it does not count to paying off the debt. They must perform a service at the level of debt they have to be straight with the hag. Hags try to never let that happen. It is these types of debts that keep the hag's networks both intact and powerful. Victims who refuse to do the hag's bidding will get struck with their original curse. What's more, the hag will often magically summon the victim through mysterious means and give them little to know knowledge about what they are doing and why, and no choice in the matter.

Purchases Hags can provide a variety of goods and services to anyone willing to pay the price. From magical trinkets, enchanted gifts, the remnants of legendary weapons, curses on enemies, potent blessings, and even personal favors from the hag herself, almost anything is on the table when bargain with a hag. Cursing One's Enemies

Enchanter Gifts

Exotic Food and Drink Cursing One's Enemies (minor, moderate, or major purchase) Practically any curse previously described (or others, be creative), can be cast upon one's enemies. The payment level is always one level higher than the curse, meaning only minor or moderate curse can normally be placed on an enemy, with the victim requiring a moderate or major payment respectively. Three victims can all offer a major payment to curse a single enemy with a major curse. In such cases, all three victims have completely different payments, they cannot double or triple up to provide the same payment. It should be noted: hag's have a tendency to twist such curses. For example, a character might ask that their mortal enemy be cursed to loose their fortune. They do so, but instead end up falling in love, moving to a cabin in the wooods, and living happily ever after. Hags delight in twisting a victim's desires against them. Enchanted Gifts (minor, moderate, or major purchase) Hags can provide enchanted gifts that have a variety of purposes, but are usually meant to woo the favor and affections of another.

Favors (minor, moderate, or major purchase) Amongst other purchases, sometimes a hag needs to do some dirty work, or have her minions do some dirty work. The victim can ask for a favor to be performed, similar to a service. Some examples include: Hide or protect a person, place, or thing

Retrieve a person, place, or thing

Cast a spell or provide a spell scroll

Destroy or defeat a person, place, or thing

Revive/bring back a person, place or thing

Provide information about a person, place, or thing The level of payment required depends upon how difficult the task is for the hag to provide, but also how valuable it is for the victim. A seemingly small task might require a moderate or even major payment if time is crucial, the victim will die/suffer immensely, without it, etc. For example, a slick-tongued bard might be able to talk the hag into raising the party's fighter for a moderate purchase. However, if the same bard wants to bring back their cleric, and the one person in the group who could normally raise dead, the hag might instead make it a major purchase. Favors are subjective, and hags will take advantage of any percieved weakness. Miracles (minor, moderate, or major purchase) Miracles can include becoming better at one's trade, gaining skills or abilities, youth, fame, fortune, or other things. Blessings that can be handled with trinkets, curses, favors, are usually done that way first. If the victim wants something particularly miraculous, a hag can often deliver, but always at a price.
