Storm Hag
Level 5Attacks
Abilities
A storm hag adds Hydraulic Torrent, Lightning Storm, and Mariner's Curse to her coven's spells.
Wind, precipitation, and clouds don't impair a storm hag's vision; she ignores the Concealed condition from storms, mist, precipitation, and the like.
A storm hag can send spoken messages or sounds on the wind to any spot that she has seen and the wind can reach within a 50-mile radius. She can send a quiet whisper or a loud scream, and decides whether it's clearly audible or barely heard above the wind. The message is delivered regardless of whether anyone is present to hear it. The hag can use this ability to Demoralize creatures that hear her message with dire threats or unnerving whispers of doom.
The storm hag can take on the appearance of any Medium humanoid woman. This doesn't change their Speed or their attack and damage bonuses with their Strikes, but it might change the damage type their Strikes deal (typically to bludgeoning).
The storm hag ignores difficult terrain caused by wind, rain, and other stormy weather.
A storm hag can perform a special Control Weather ritual, which requires no secondary casters, to change the weather within 5 miles of her location for . The primary check is a DC 23 occultism check, and she can't get an outcome worse than a failure.
The storm hag can create only hurricanes, thunderstorms, and tornadoes, but she can do so regardless of the current season. She can also quell natural weather events but never willingly does so.
A storm hag is unaffected by strong winds, natural or magical. Windy conditions are not difficult terrain for her.
Ruthless and temperamental, storm hags are the personification of a storm's rage. Outcasts by their own behavior, storm hags are often found on islands they've made into personal havens, controlling the local inhabitants through threats. Unlike most hags, many storm hags show signs of genuinely caring for their offspring, both those adopted and by birth. Any such children who possess morals aren't in for an easy life, however, as they're usually left trying and failing to deal with their mother's implacable temper toward others.
A storm hag's true form resembles an older humanoid woman with storm-tossed white hair, lightning-bright eyes, and dark blue skin. They typically only show their true form when in a rage, which makes their natural visage seem more terrifying than it actually is.
Hags are bizarre predators with uncertain origins, best known for targeting children and the young. To a one, they appear female, and they typically disguise themselves as mortal women in their day-to-day lives. Their powerful magic and manipulative tactics allow them to lure in the naive and vulnerable, exploiting their victims for their own sadistic purposes before kidnapping or devouring them. The typical hag is defined by a vain and controlling nature. Less malevolent hags may exist, but if so, they keep themselves well hidden to avoid the attentions of adventurers and their own abusive kin.
