[QUOTE="Dualazi, post: 7090263, member: 6855537"] How would I run this? With probably with a fey/beast bruiser type summon while the warlock kites and controls the PCs. This seems like the obvious intent behind the design, and conveniently enough the annis hag also in Volos is just the right CR and design for this. Also, even if you break concentration there's no assurance the fey will turn on the warlock. It could happen, but it's not a given. More to the point though, it does seem off. It has incredibly low HP at 49, and arbitrarily receives conjure fey for no discernible reason outside of theming. On the flipside, it's also evidently an 11th level caster, which means its eldtrich blast can deal 3d10, and has at least 3 potential escape mechanisms (misty escape, misty step, dimension door), so it'll have very lopsided performance based on how much of the PC group is melee or ranged. Overall, it falls into a weird scenario I think where it'd be incredibly dangerous to parties level 4 or below, and not very dangerous at all to those above, since multiple attacks and level 3 spells stand a reasonable chances of burning it down before it can accomplish much. It's also possible it was a gaff and meant to be conjure woodland beings, which is still incredibly strong but at least less of a jarring CR difference. [/QUOTE]
