Message: <blockquote data-quote="Necropolitan" data-source="post: 9550775" data-attributes="member: 6669245">My solution to the problems with hags was to change them from evil fey who appear as old people to fey of any alignment who appear as old people.Good, Evil, Neutral, Lawful, or Chaotic, a Hag is always OLD.They're fey representations of old age, a mortal can become a hag but the majority of them are old from the moment they take form and they take pride in their wrinkles.A Hag might be a stern Lawful Good elder who helps a community stay on the right path (like Granny Weatherwax from the Discworld series), a Chaotic Good bon-vivant dedicated to helping the youth live their lives to the fullest (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRC46cgJnnI" target="_blank">No Time At All</a> from the musical Pippin is an excellent example of that), a Neutral Good long-timer at a senior living home who does their best to keep the other residents comfortable (where the mortal staff are likely to eventually end up as residents with them since hags are biologically immortal), a Chaotic Neutral woods-dweller who might help or devour whoever calls on them depending on their mood and the manners of their visitor (like Baba Yaga), a Lawful Evil bargainer who's more interested in the results of the deal than the actual exchange (like Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon a Time), the stereotypical Chaotic Evil hag, or any other archetype of old age.I did the same with other fey, although my version of fey have the different fey types basically be costumes fey spirits wear depending on what they want to be in the mortal world. Adventurers might spend a night partying with a satyr only to meet the same fey again later as a dryad after the fey spirit got partied out and felt like resting for a few centuries (or more) as a tree-person.</blockquote>
