[DMsGuild] The Hag’s Hexes is now available at DMsGuild
The Hag’s Hexes is now available at DMsGuild.com! This 60+ page book is a collaboration of six designers to bring you a guide that features new hags, new hag minions, combat tactics, roleplaying tips & tricks, curses, bargains, wicked magic items (some cursed, some not!), dozens of premade encounters and three full-length adventures that highlight this new information!
Remember the chapter on hags in Volo’s Guide to Monsters? Imagine a massive expansion to that, featuring more of everything turned up to eleven! The material crosses over from the fairy tale origins of hags to the darkest side of their wicked, cruel ways, and touches on everything in between.
The Hag’s Hexes contains:
The Hag’s Hexes is a 66 page guide designed by Dungeon Masters Guild luminaries like JVC Parry and Janek Sielicki alongside rising stars and old stalwarts like Matt Butler, Matthew Gravelyn, and Tim Bannock. It was created with one thing in mind: to make hags more than the sum of their (often meager) Challenge ratings, giving them the mechanics, roleplay potential, and weird magic that can inspire campaigns, lay low kings and warlords, and potentially ensnare unwary Player Characters into campaign-changing curses or long-term bargains that force them into terrible moral quandaries!
Split into five chapters, the authors have provided everything a DM needs to terrify their players for years to come. The Bestiary features over a dozen monsters; some are new hags, some are their minions or even their mobile lairs, and one of them — the Shaitan AKA Desert Hag — was featured in Monsters of the Guild! Bargains & Curses is a chapter filled with ideas that can kick-start campaigns, threaten valued NPCs, or put Player Characters’ very existence and morality at stake. Chapter 3 includes two dozen items of wonderment, weirdness, and dread, ranging from fairy tale-inspired items of whimsy to terribly cursed items of horror. Chapter 4 is titled “Filthy, Vile & Downright Dirty” and provides dozens of roleplaying tips to make hags come alive, new mechanics inspired by and expanding on Volo’s Guide to Monsters (coven spell lists, aunties, grandmothers, alternative coven members), and ends with useful combat tactics for each of the hags from the Monster Manual and Volo’s Guide, as well as tactics for covens. Finally, Chapter 5 presents five encounter groups (with sub-encounters) to give you quick story seeds and monster lists that you can put together in minutes to create a single encounter or to inspire a full campaign, and ends with three full-length adventures — each with 3-5 encounters — that showcase many of the new monsters, rules, magic items, and so on that appeared in earlier chapters. Each of these adventures comes with an encounter map meant to act as inspiration for hag lairs, and they include useful mechanical ideas for terrain effects and descriptive keywords listed directly on the map for added inspiration and easy customization!
Designed by Tim Bannock. Written by Matt Butler, JVC Parry, Janek Sielicki, and Tim Bannock. Edited by Matthew Gravelyn and Tim Bannock. Cover Art by Elena Naylor.
