Hags

Green (3) – fey (religion)

• 1d4 Green Hag Fingers: When consumed, casts Invisibility on the user. If a creature removes their own fingers and stitches 10 Green Hag Fingers to their hands, they gain a Claw attack that deals 2d8 damage on a hit, and can cast Invisibility once per day. Humanoids and Fey who see the creature’s newly-fingered hands are more likely to be hostile to the creature.
• 1 Green Hag Nose: A creature wearing the nose over their own can mimic animal sounds and humanoid voices. Other creatures can tell they are imitations with a successful DC 14 Wisdom (Insight) check.
• 1 Weird Magic Item: A grotesque trinket chosen by the DM. By consuming, destroying, or using up the trinket, the holder can cast a spell (also chosen by the DM) at 2^nd level. Hags generally use their Weird Magic Items as a last resort, and they often contain spells that allow her to retreat or escape.
• In Coven: 2 Additional Weird Magic Items

Night (5) – fiend (religion)

• 1d4 Night Hag Fingers: When consumed, casts Sleep centered on the user.

Humanoids and Fey who see the creature’s newly-fingered hands are more likely to be hostile to the creature.
• 1 Heartstone: When touched to a creature, cures any disease affecting that creature. The Heartstone is destroyed if exposed to direct sunlight.
• 1 Soul Bag: Contains an evil soul, a victim of the Night Hag. Opening the bag releases the soul, but while it is captured it can be telepathically communicated with and used for magical spells, equaling up to 1,000 GP worth of material components for Necromancy spells.
• 1d2 Night Hag Eye: If a creature plucks out their own eye and replaces it with a Night Hag Eye, they may cast Detect Magic at will from the eye. Additionally, the creature may see into the Ethereal Plane for up to 10 minutes per day, all at once or in several shorter periods, each one using a minimum of 1 minute from the duration. The eye recovers its full duration at sunset.

Humanoids and Fey who see the creature’s newly-fingered hands are more likely to be hostile to the creature.
• 1 Weird Magic Item: A grotesque trinket chosen by the DM. By consuming, destroying, or using up the trinket, the holder can cast a spell (also chosen by the DM) at 1^st level.
