[QUOTE="Charles Rampant, post: 6989809, member: 32659"] That's pretty similar to how Baba Lysaga works in [i]Curse of Strahd[/i]; she isn't a Hag, but is the most Haglike person ever not to have Haged, and she functions as this weird and creepy encounter in a marsh. During it, she plays up the idea of Strahd being her misunderstood son, as she flies around in a skull and her hut stamps the players down. I loved the encounter so much, I dropped it wholesale into my homebrew world, with one of the players encountering her in downtime, full of anger at him helping to slay Strahd at the end of I:6. Like many of the 'mastermind' monsters, Hags are indeed going to work best when they have a more brutish ally to hide behind - especially if the players do some negotiating first, since the Hag is a perfect opportunity for a Grand Vizier sort of roleplaying moment.
