Annis Hag

The Hag of Iron and Bone

Earth, Thunder and Force

Lore

Who she is.

She is not the strongest thing in the forest. She just breaks things with more patience than the strongest things.

Annis Hags are the only hags that other monsters physically fear. A troll will avoid an Annis Hag's territory. Giants have been known to relocate. This is not because Annis Hags are larger or more powerful in a raw sense. It is because she is the only hag that makes other large creatures feel fragile.

She does not rage. She does not lose control. She calculates exactly how much pressure it takes to break the thing she is holding, and she applies it methodically. There is nothing personal about it.

In the coven, she is the answer to every problem that patience cannot solve.

They sent twelve guards. She appreciated the gesture. She broke the first two slowly, so the others would understand she wasn't in a hurry.

The Creature

What she is made of.

Choosing the Annis Hag in the character creator settles three things: the element of every damaging spell she can learn, the weakness she has to play around, and her coven magic.

ElementPhysical, force & earth

Every damaging spell she learns must match one of her elements below, whichever class list it comes from. Necrotic and physical damage and utility spells are open to every hag.

Anger PointWeakness

When you take more than twice your level in damage in a single turn, or are hit by a critical hit, make a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure you fly into a berserker rage: advantage on melee attack rolls and +2 damage on each attack, but you must attack the nearest creature, friend or foe, with your full strength, and you cannot cast or contribute to Coven Magic. Repeat the save at the start of each of your turns to regain control. The DC rises by 2 for each save you fail.
