Pruitt gets disadvantage on life for that pun
I think its pronouced like Verr for the Bheur Hag
hey, just a heads up ... your video "The Feywild" that I got alerted to because of my notification is marked as private ... just letting you know in case it should have been public.
I like the idea of a hag in the woods posing as a hag hunter and helping the party try to find her, but always misleading them
I love the idea of a hag handling her horde of goblins, trolls and ogres like a bunch of misbehaving children
Been there , done that.
Hand out index cards with prewritten characters for game play.
Who is playing " Mama Hag" ?
"How _do_ you deal with a bunch of murderous children?" at which point I, the DM, follow up with "'Cause that's essentially my preparation for every game I run for you guys"
Someone call the burn unit xD
Its my day on day duty (school teacher).
time to start up the chaotic evil party. chaotic evil duegar fighter with a warhammer walks into the town tavern, "alright, first things first, where do ye sign up fer the wack-a-brat competition."
Could you guys do an episode on designing cities? Would love to see how you work around creating a good city atmosphere
KingCole I highly recommend Pathfinder's Adventure Path ,,Curse of the Crimson Throne". Almost the entire game takes place in one city and does a great job of setting up all the different factions and the city as an environment.
Aren't you afraid that your game would turn into a Hag'n'slash? xD
MGCXIII boooooo
@@barrymcballs9031 I bet you play a Necromancer!?

**The party takes 20d12 psychic damage, and loses intelligence equal to 1d20**
Ah yes, the worst of brand of Haagen-Dazs out there
Hags in a nutshell:
-Annis Hag: melee brute that usually has a few dumb minions and lives in the mountains and hills, likes to get PC's lost.
-Borr Hag: strike at innocent villages during winter, try to keep village isolated. Mildly spellcasting.
-Green Hag: semi-isolated schemers who do voice mimickry and kidnap children+villagers. Mildly spellcasting, espect a long narrative of plots and backstabs.
-Sea Hag: coastal port harrasser, not really powerfull. Their strenght lies in their lairs.
-Night Hag: hag-fiend hybrid from Hades. Corrupt people in their sleep to get larvae (AKA soul-worms) and sell them to devils and demons as blood war weapons. Strong spellcasting.
-Covens: Hag×3=powerfull clusterf*ck of magic and minions.
A new mother looks like she hasn't slept in days. She says her baby sleeps through the night, and that it's simply the stress dreams of a first-time mother that are keeping her up at night. She insists she's ok, since she has a nanny that comes to the house every morning to help. The nightmares continue, however, until one night, the baby wakes up crying. The mother rushes to tend to him, but after days without sleep, she's too distraught to notice the pinch mark on the baby's leg that caused him to wake in the first place, and too groggy to wonder why the nanny is in her home at this strange hour. She's just relieved to have someone trustworthy to watch the child while she rests her eyes for a few minutes. The next morning, she wakes up in a chair in the baby's room to the sound of the nanny, knocking on the door, ready to watch her baby for the day...
With deduction and dice rolls, the players realize only a hag would be so malicious that simply taking a baby wouldn't be enough. Instead, they needed to torture the mother by having her hand the child over willingly. Now, they race to a nearby swamp that is devoid of all sounds except that of a child crying in the distance. They follow it, only to discover more green hags using mimicry to fool them, leading them towards sea hags that try to pull them into the murky water and catoblepas and trolls that serve them.
Eventually, they are able to find the Night Hag that haunted the poor mother's dreams, and the Green Hag that impersonated her nanny. And if they hurry, they can reach the child before the two witches finish arguing over which of them gets to consume him...
Hags can be a great top-end monster for a low-level party and even stir up a great side-quest for a higher-level one.
next level88 I love this idea
Thanks for writing this session for me ;)
Yes, this is exactly the way that they should be set up and used!
My goodness this is nightmare fuel...I love it.
I am stealing this.
A dingo hag stole my baby?
Let me guess that their favourite stolen baby recipe is Haggis?
Andrew C baby back ribs
I killed a defenseless woman because a hag made me, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Made you?! I dunno man...
These intros are getting worse and worse, which is to say better and better.
In my Fairy Tale setting, Hags are morally neutral, they don't care for good or evil, and they are more like the "Deal with the Devil" creature, it is common knowledge that you can buy favors and wishes from hags, but most people ask for evil things, and that almost always comes back to bite them in the ass and not the Hag, but they also have a fiendish delight in watching people take displeasures in their wishes. My rules of RPing the Hag come from Sonheim's into the woods, "Careful the wish you make, wishes come true not free" Hags are a wind driving forward unfortunate sails, but they are not evil, the mortals are
KiqueDragoon Oh I like that, very cool
KiqueDragoon Awesome Idea i may have to steal this!
KiqueDragoon
The comments section is thief GM gold
Hmm, your discussion on Sea Hags has given me some inspiration to use them as the Seiðkona that join on viking raids against my PC's village. Give them the ability to create fog, so their ships can approach unseen within.
3 sea hags summon a kraken because why the hell not
Or three sea hags serve a Kraken, and draw power from it, like a messy three-way warlock.
I have 3 Sea Hags summoning a hydra lol
Trentrex bob that is so evil
10 sea hags summon a leviathen
Update: They stopped the hags from summoning a hydra but someone succumbed to the death glare. Also the children the hags kidnapped had a version of warding bond on them and the players killed the children by killing the hags(they had detect and dispel magic RIP).
Pruitt must have studied more than a few classes in the School of Punomancy.
In Irish, Bhuer is pronounced "V-AIR". In old Irish, (as Gaeilge) it means Hag, Old Women, Wearer of a veil, etc. There is lots of folk lore for you to look up like "cailleach bheur". Lots of flavour for encounters.
Gotta love Gaelic's totally random approach to pronunciation :D
So it's basically called a hag hag?
@@RoboBoddicker it's at least consistent. 🙂
@@RoboBoddicker So "bh = v" is weird and random, but "ph = f" is not?
@@asgrahim9164 whoa...you're right 🤯🤯🤯
I have a Sea Hag in my game, she pretended to be an apothecary and started healing this Village but the potions that she gave if somebody stop taking them they would die. So essentially this entire Village is enslaved to her because she's the only one who continues to make the potions that is both what is killing them and keeping them alive
Chemotherapy. She's selling them chemotherapy.
Reminds me of the TV Tropes entry "What do you mean, it's not political?"
So she's a drug dealer
You're from Texas, so any snow is crippling. In Minnesota, if a frost hag moved in, no one would notice. Lol
Lol same.
I, an Ohioan, embrace all of our Hag overlords.
Here's my addition to hag lore: when you kill a hag, the other hags in their coven know it and can sense you. And they come for revenge. it's been a huge part of my current campaign.
This video/ reading the volos chapter on hags has given me a way new way to take my current game, the players were dealing with problems in a small city/large town, crops were dying, dead were rising and the water had been polluted, they players hadn't done much investigating they're just dealing with the issues, and I was thinking what the root of the problem could be, toying with multiple ideas but a hag coven seems like the best way and I am so excited to drop it on these guys!
The hag, so you can make the Blair witch in d&d and have it actually be scary.
Idea for a Campaign long villain: The Coven of Supremacy, A Council of 13 Hags and they take on an entire nation instead of just one village.
Florian Narratio you just described the plot of our Razel Sinn series of live plays!
Jim Davis Seriously?! I have not seen them yet, that's amazing! XD Well, my evening is planned, keep up the great work Jim. By the way, Pathfinder recently published a book about the realm of the Fey. It has great lore about all kind of Fey creatures, from Hags to the Jabberwocky.
I must watch your videos a lot, guys. My two year old just waved to you both. Hi!
+Scott Po my kid calls them "Uncle Jim and Uncle Pwooitt"
Web DM our toddler giggled when Jim said "what if you're sharing your house with a murderous toddler?"
I thought "aren't they all?"
I kinda treat hags as evil sorceresses who are more powerful together but hate each other almost as much as they hate non-hags. There's also a bit of Discworld witch influence. They focus on divination, enchantment, and illusion but sometimes dabble in conjuration, necromancy, or transmutation ; in fact, I usually have it that one of a trio will focus on conjuration, one on necromancy, and one of transmutation. The Fates from The Sandman are very much an inspiration. So is Frau Totenkinder from Fables. I also like my hags more powerful than they are presented in the Monster Manuals.
I blushed with pride when you said right and left nerd!
adorable
You guys are life savers. I'm currently running an extended mission that ends with my party fighting a hag coven. Great to get a video on hags for some advice/perspective.
Thanks for the video. I decided to start my first campaign with the big bad being a green hag (coven). The players are still working up to fight the coven, but knowing the hags use a lot of mimicry and trickery, I have made an effort to include a lot of detail even when it isn't necessary. It not only makes the players not know if it is the hag, or just a bird. Also, a higher level of detail just makes the world more alive.
Dang, you guys are really nailing down these intros.
I really enjoy you show. You guys are brilliant, well informed and delightfully witty. Thank you. Best regards from Seattle.
Hags are awesome monsters to mess your player character's moral compass with. Their casual cruelty and natural evil tendencies can even be infectious to the PCs and it can even sanitize them from their own acts of evil. It is a lot of fun seeing how my different players react to them.
I've had this idea for low level party like 1-2 of a party roaming a small island villlage terrorized by a green hag coven that primarily focusses on investigating as people go more and more insane. It would be them raising undead nearby, causing villagers to turn on you, etc
Any tips on having a Hag NPC in a large city setting that's "Retired" or "too old to give a damn" that the players can interact with to buy magic items?
Hags are my Favorite villains. They are Inherently useful and dynamic villains as a template. As a Template! You can go ahead and buff them with a magic initiate feat, or a simple scrying tool or other uncommon magic item.
I feel like a long term campaign where the Lady of a city is a relativley young looking Vampire who's lady in waiting is a Nighthag and her master of spies is an Incubus would be a triad of frustrating and powerful entities that can challenge a third tier party. Their rival faction? A wizard school led by a powerful wizard who uses divination but specializes in Necro divining and eventually becomes a lich using the help of the party.
Currently running an adventure using hags as the main villains....this video has helped me so much. To be honest, you guys pretty much taught me how to DM. I've met a load of new friends through D&D and I definitely owe some of the fun to you guys. Keep up the great channel!
I'd love to see an episode explaining how you guys handle divination and/or an episode explaining Player Characters home bases
Hags are also attached to Noble houses, and most generals/armies, anywhere a surplus of souls is generated and likely to flush the underworld economy.
That ending! The Whataburger honey butter chicken biscuit is heaven in a wrapper.
You should do one on Dark Sun.
I actually just ran my bunch of 5 4th level players through a night hag coven encounter recently. I expected a really tough fight, but, although they took some knocks, they came out of it without anyone dropping to 0. Little do they know that the coven matriarch's coming back soon, with some banderhobbs, legendary actions, and magic items to *really* even things out.
On that related note, though, the whole hag dynamic has actually been one of the most fun things to research and roll up items for. I really commend the Volo's Guide section on them for being an amazing compilation of lore and item tables. And hags are just such great fun to roleplay, too, even though their personalised nightmares made the cleric hate them so much he just charged straight into battle and interrupted their monologue.
On a shorter note, love the show, guys!
I've said Pruitt's beard is growing more and more overtly evil every episode. I take that back, it's the opening puns that's getting more evil.
Seriously. Hag-tion? One of these days, these puns are gonna kill someone.
That movie, "The VVitch" would be a good source for those looking for a mostly lore correct, historical reference. The only real issue it had was milking doesn't cause blood, but sour milk. Other than that it's pretty spot on, and has a few good hags.
Best intro yet guys God damn
Becoming really obsessed with creating a gag campaign
I hate to say it, but Bheur is of Celtic origins. And in Irish (and I think Scottish too) Bh is pronounced as a V. Think of the name Siobhan (Sh-VAAN). So the creature is pronounced as Vur Hag. That being said, Burr Hag is more thematic and I actually like it more.
My favorite mob yet.
Ok so Hags are by far the best monsters period. Love them for low levels and the high levels.
Can you make a video on Death Knights?
The Green Hag: Good old Meg Knucklebones from "Legend"
The actor, Robert Piccardo, who did Meg's voice did such a good job that she was the scariest thing in the movie as a 10 year old in 86.
Love these videos taking a (class of) creature and examining how to build a campaign, or at least a tier, around them.
The Hags in Ebberon pretty much made a nation of their own full of monsters
Mother Giselle was, long ago, perhaps a kind-hearted nun. But when Mother Giselle had been Sister Giselle, she was visited in her dreams by the aspect of a stranger. Handsome. Funny. Kind. And then one day...real. When the stranger from Omodo visited St. Ava the Martyr's Home for the Abandoned, he didn't speak to her. But she knew they shared something. That night when he visited her in her dreams, he promised to explain why he had not spoken to her. She merely had to let him in.
She fell to the Night Hag's magic, and through her The Spider had one more thread in his web...
My players found her down beneath the Orphanage, in a secret room where rituals and experiments had been performed that they surmise has something to do with the soul. Three of the players have backgrounds that lead back here. And another has a holy quest for a relic they discover deep in the laboratory; a spearhead for St. Ava's holy weapon, The Sunspear. They find it embedded in the chest of something encased in what looks like amber, on what looks like a surgeon's table. During a fight with Mother Giselle and several waves of shadows that drop down through the ceiling above them, they try and pull the spearhead out of the the creature-encased-in-amber's chest. Round after round, they fail their Strength check to pull it out. They also kill enough of the shadows to imbue the center figure and unwittingly complete the ritual - it explodes outwards to reveal the avatar of The Devil incarnate, clutching the spearhead of the Sunspear, while they all suffer some serious damage from the shrapnel exploding out.
The Devil says some bad guy stuff, let's them live, and disappears with the Night Hag. The Night Hag is gonna harass them in dreams until they confront her during another character's arc waaaay down the line (unless they decide to somehow get to her quicker than I expect, but I think they'll be kinda busy lol). They turned 5th level after their encounter with her. They'll be closer to level 14 when they face her next. They had been just tough enough as a large party of fourth level characters to not get killed by her and her waves of shadows during their first encounter with her. But I'm not gonna increase her beyond a CR 5 creature. I'm simply going to make her plans more and more nefarious.
When they finally face her at the end, she'll still be but a CR 5 creature. And they'll probably be able to kill her in a simple move. But her machinations are her shield, and more powerful creatures than her and under her thrall by this leg of the journey. When they finally manage to get past all her defenses, all her clever plans, and it's just her and them and a blade and they're able to cut her down in a single strike...that let-down is what's gonna make them feel like they've still lost. The Devil is still free, she managed to harass them even when they were more powerful than her, for a huge portion of the journey while the thing she had sought to create had been freed by their hands ages ago. This is the last dark moment before the final transformation of our characters into the endgame of the story from level 15 and beyond where they'll finally have to start handling the cosmic forces that set the chess pieces in motion in the first place.
I also like using hags as beings you end up having to bargain with. Yes, you could kill them. But a series of things such as threatened collateral damage if they die and a necessity for their knowledge or power usually puts makes it so that you simply can't without inviting worse problems and losing the ability to help someone else. Making it so that the players have to decide whether or not they're willing to turn a blind eye to the fact that this hag will steal another child every sixteen years, or perhaps even worse, find themselves frustratingly incapable of getting rid of them. I like the idea of the hag in the woods who everyone knows is bad, who has been talked about for generation after generation and been visited by humble farmer and king alike and that she delights mostly in people's guilt over 'permissible sins', but time after time despite not being more powerful than a vampire or a lich or a dragon...is always still there. Willing to make a deal.
In gaelic the BH at the beginning of the word makes the V sound. So Bhuer would sound like Vur. The Vur Hag.
I love you guys. Going to run my first game ever soon, and I'm a noob myself. Such inspiration.
I think this episode got me past some significant DM writer's block I had about a (probable) upcoming leg of my group's journey. I need a mini-arc in a city (Baldur's Gate) the party is visiting to try to solicit aid. A pair of Night Hag sisters messing with the minds of the city leadership to sow chaos and dissent, and having to dispatch them before the council/leaders/etc. will grant aid, sounds like a great hook. I'll have to watch the Razel-Sinn [sic?] stuff too. Thanks!
Razel-Sinn !
Those puns were hagnificent, Mr. Right Nerd. That was fey-rly amusing.
I noticed it says in your videos' descriptions that if you sign up for the mailing list you have a chance of winning a DMG or PHB. It doesn't say any of the details though so could you fill me in?
Sean Nolan if you go to webdmshow.com and sign up for the webdm mailing list, you'll automatically be entered in a drawing for signed books. There's more info on fb and Twitter
Emma Lambert thanks for the info.
My group once dropped the barbarian off of a magic carpet through the roof of an annis hag’s hut. He yelled “OH YEAH” on the way down. He did a Cool-aid-Man through the ceiling of this hag’s house. Then the paladin kicked down the door so hard that it hit the hag and did damage.
That's a sexy thumbnail
Grimbanks Agreed, it's hard to unsee Pruitt with hag boobs
God, I delayed watching this vid for a week because of it.
Damn Pruitt, that lil War reference made me stop the video and listen to the song and continue on. But it's a good song at least so I can't gripe too much lol.
I used a coven of Sea Hags (uplevelled with basic lair actions) and whole bunch of respawning minions to challenge a party of nine 8th level characters. It was fun fight underwater in and around an old wrecked ship on the sea floor. One of my bards polymorphed into a tiger shark and got wrecked by the chuul they'd enslaved.
I feel the Hags in Kobold Press' Tome of Beasts are a bit more formidable that those of the MM
Razel Sinn campaign? I've been binging the series thus far, and am dying to know what happens 😂!
Do one on prefab kaiju esc monsters like making a home brew gargantuan monster
Tome of Beasts' hags are fantastic as well. I cannot recommend that book enough..
There's sure to be hag for grease and dust, torturing Warhammer players and clean elven homes alike (and make some gnomes' clockwork creations on the side).
Why is the interstitial music SO MUCH LOUDER than the discussion? Are you trying to both deafen us and wake the neighbors?
Great examples of hags:
Mignola's babayaga
Grendel's mother
Great vid guys - I'm playing a Tiefling Warlock who's decended from a Night Hag and has a Drocolich Patron .. hand you got a link to the hag antagonist game you guys are playing/played would love to watch it!!
Actually walking on frozen mud roads is actually pretty stable, since the mud gets stuck in weird positions.
There is nothing about them having a cauldron, it's 30ft from EACH OTHER
duuuuude. Where in Texas are you from? I grew up in San Antonio and when I moved to NYC the winters totally wrecked my life.
Pruitt, you were wearing a The Sword shirt and the word crone was said, yet you fail to make a reference. Critical failure.
I don’t actually get this reference, but I appreciate the joke nonetheless.
I've been writing up a powerful Night Hag for an adventure through the first 5 layers of Hell and for weeks I've been hoping for you guys to cover hags. Keep up the excellent content!
A most excellent presentation of the HAG(s). I'm adding this for sure. Have you covered the WITCH class ? I'm looking for some 5E guidance on this NPC other than pubs on DMs Guild site. Thanks for the hard work, attention to details (including references provided) and the entertainment you provide in your videos. Enjoying and soaking it all in.
I'm working on a holiday mini-campaign with the following villains, a red dragon boss, named Kristkringle, and his minions, being a hag (annis or bheur) named Gryla, and her 13 troll sons (probably mix of trolls, ogres, and bugbears for stats) called the Yule Lads. It's borrowed from Icelandic lore. The pcs will be from separate villages that have been forced to give yearly tribute to the dragon which is collected by the hag and trolls, and the villages have had enough. This video has helped me work out a lot of ideas! Thank you!
Whataburger sponsoring WebDM would be equally hilarious and delicious. I need it.
It's mentioned multiple times in this video that the hags must be within 30 feet of their Cauldron, but i'm pretty sure current rules have it as they only need to be within 30 feet of Each Other to utilize coven spells.
A good homebrew magic item would be a cauldron that increased their casting level with a stationary limitation.
Great episode! Van Richten's Monster Hunter's Compendium, Volume 3 has some FANTASTIC Hag lore! I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to delve deeper into hag goodness (or evilness lol)
I LOVE the little banters after the official show. They are really funny
A couple of vids talking about your experiences with each WOTC D&D settings and your opinions on them and how they might appeal to DM's out there. Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Eberron, Darksun, Dragonlance ext.
If y'all are bringing up the Witcher 3, I think the more mainstream representation of Hags would be the Witches of Crookback Bog, who were essentially a Hag Coven.
Either way thanks for this episode, been trying to think of a good enemy type to put my players up against and I think a Hag Coven is going to suit my needs juuuuuust fine.
Jim, the show you were thinking of was called originally "4 Country Reporter" (because it originated on channel 4 in the DFW market) and later syndicated as "Texas Country Reporter."
Would having a hag being a PC be viable? I think a green hag would be the easiest and maybe some kind of homebrewed class could make for an interesting RP situations like only the DM knowing that this seemingly normal bard with a knack for magic and spying is actually a hag
"so Hags, what are they good for"
well they're good at being bad
what if a hag had digiused itself as a disney princesses with all of her animals compaignes who are polymoth monsters and kidnapped people
I love finding my old forgotten comments and being like I still like that idea
I did an encounter where a modified green hag lived as the baker of a frontier forest village and she would steal children from the village and eat them then grind their bones and mix it with the flour to make bread to give back to the villagers. The party was pretty split on whether or not to tell the villagers after she ran off
Have you guys considered doing an updated video this in-depth on Beholders? Especially when that new book comes out?
I've been waiting for this video. I'm running my first game, and the first tier main villain is a powerful green hag.
"book of beautiful horrors" has a lot of the monsters from the witcher series. Really cool
hey have you guys looked at tome of beasts? its got a whole bunch of new hag options 0_0
Link for the episode with the Night Hag?
Greasy Fingered Friend is easily the most infuriating social encounter for a table of players.
It's at least a CR 3 encounter. Tough for lowbies.
For some real interesting combos I like to throw in a Player Who Didn't Level Up. When they use their Distraction ability in combo with the Greasy Fingered Friend's Butter Snatch attack, the game gets really intense.
TheNerdySimulation on a bad night, that could definitely lead to a TPK.
Certainly, but sometimes you just gotta go for it when playing Basements & Bullies and remind your players that teamwork is always an option.
you guys should just do episodes on each type of interesting creature, I love hearing how you guys implement them into games
Who made off with the wizard?
I love hags! Definitely one of my favs. I'm glad Volo's went into it in more detail on them.
Travis Cope me too! The chapter on hags is an amazing resource.
WHATABURGER!!! As a Texan, I can confirm it's like cocaine
Oh my god! There was a Whataburger next to my local Game Shop where my friends and I would play D&D. We'd almost always grab some food for the night and Inspiration for the night came in the form of a HBCB!! I'm so happy Jim Davis is from TX and he can relate! :D
I’m about to DM a hag-based adventure. It takes place in a mid-sized town (think like Gravity Falls) that’s a popular tourist town due to a large canyon next to town with the ruins of an ancient dwarven town at the bottom. There are 2 businesses that give tours of the canyon, and recently people have been disappearing on tours with one of the tour companies. One of the ruined towers in the canyon is secretly a portal to the Feywild. One of the tour companies made a deal with a hag to become the more successful of the 2 companies. And the hag did make them more popular. By kidnapping people from the competing companies’ tours and framing that company for the crimes. All they needed was their 7th-born child.
I'm still a bit dumbfounded that Americans joke about Azaria Chamberlain. She was literally killed by a dingo. Lindy wasn't lying and she was exonerated. Is dingo just that funny a word?
I know it's an old episode, but ice isn't that hard to deal with. Pop a metal cap on your shoe that has a small spike on the bottom, and you're suddenly quite nearly immune to slipping and sliding, so that 3 mile walk is a casual stroll for 45 minutes. Or snow shoes. Almost every culture throughout history that has lived in areas with common ice and snow have developed this technology.
