Traits

Cronesight: Baba Yaga has advantage on Wis (Perception checks) that rely on sight. As an action, she can observe a target and magically know its current emotional state. If the target fails a DC 15 Charisma saving throw, she also knows the creature`s alignment and discovers a hidden secret about the target. 

Cronespeech:  Creatures with Intelligence 3 or lower obey Baba Yaga unquestioningly. Her utterances are often captured as engravings on nearby stone and wood surfaces. These magical reproductions of her words are made in Common tongue and fade after several days.

children see Baba Yaga as a young maiden who lures them into her house with the promise of sweets. Any creature with a Heart of a child may also see her as this young maiden and may make a DC15 insight check to see through this. 

 

Mortar and Pestle: as an action Baba Yaga can summon her Mortar and pestle. Baba Yaga flies in a large mortar and pestle which is immune to damage and can`t be the target of spells or effects. It Provides the witch with Half cover from Ranged attacks. Baba Yaga doesn`t provoke an opportunity attack when she flies out of an enemy`s reach. If Baba Yaga is knocked prone, or incapacitated while flying in the mortar, It will gently set her on the ground and disappear for 1 hour or until Baba Yaga calls it back. The pestle remains with the witch. 

Magical resistance: Baba Yaga has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Breath of the Bone mother (Recharge 6): Calling on her elemental powers and her mastery of crone-magic, Baba Yaga exhales a great wind in a 60-foot cone that smells of fetid mires and sausage. Creatures caught in the area must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save the target takes 20(5d8) necrotic damage and is affected by the Bestow curse spell for 1 min. on a success, a target takes half the necrotic damage but is not cursed. Additionally any creature damaged by the wind releases a stinking cloud (DC 15 constitution save) centered on it at the beginning of its next turn. The cloud dissipates after 1d4 rounds.

Mythic Actions

 

 

Description

Baba Yaga is a crone of both fortune and misfortune. Her personality can shift on a whim and should be approached cautiously. Someone who approaches her with good intentions and seeks guidance may be granted her favor when done correctly. Approaching her with ill intent, and due respect may cause her to lash out and become dangerous. Additionally if to many questions or the wrong questions are asked of her she may again lash out in violence. Despite this it is easy to appease the crone with gifts she finds to be extravagant.  

She takes on the typical appearance of an old hag riding a Mortar and Pestle, but may also take on the appearance of a more kind older woman depending on her mood. To lure children in she may take on the appearance of a younger maiden in an attempt to get children to trust her,
