Posted Feb 10, 2022How many legendary actions does this hag have? You never specified. Also, being able to cast meteor swarm at will is very OP for a CR 10 monster. Also, she can cast mirror image as a reaction, which is pretty strong if you think about it. Most creatures that can cast mirror image at will have to use an action (and forgo dealing damage) to do so. Then again, warlocks and martial classes can counter mirror image admirably well, due to being able to make multiple attacks. Still, being able to cast it as a reaction means that she will nearly always have it up.
I guess the mirror image is fine, but make the meteor swarm ability more limited, or remove it entirely. Meteor Swarm is literally a 9th-level spell, and even a CR 21 lich can only cast ONE 9th-level spell per long rest.

Posted Feb 10, 2022Technically the legendary actions is just the category that I used for villain actions. Based off some of Matt Colville's video on Action based monsters. The Lunar hag has those three actions and takes them once in ascending order at the top of the round like a lair action. So Turn 1 is Silver Appeal, Turn 2 Moonlight Rejuvenation, Turn 3 Falling Eclipse. Once used she can't use them again.
I will admit this creature definitely needs re-balancing and editing. I originally created it as a quick reference for my home game. The damage of meteor swarm is intense and I might replace it with crown of stars instead. Also lowering her overall number of hit die will help balance out mirror image. Also changing Moonlight Rejuvenation to a single casting of the Heal spell will help as well.
Thanks for you input!
