Homebrew Green Hag Species Details

The wretched and hateful green hags dwell in dying forests, lonely swamps, and misty moors, making their homes in caves. Green hags love to manipulate other creatures into doing their bidding, masking their intentions behind layers of deception. They lure victims to them by mimicking voices calling out for help, or drive unwanted visitors away by imitating the cries of fierce beasts.

Innate Spellcasting

The hag’s innate spellcasting ability is Charisma. She can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: dancing lights, minor illusion, and vicious mockery.

Mimicry

The hag can mimic animal sounds and humanoid voices. A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are imitations with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check versus the hag's Performance check.

Claws

The hag's gnarled hands are more like claws. Unarmed strikes do slashing damage rather than bludgeoning.

Illusory Appearance

The hag covers herself and anything she is wearing or carrying with a magical illusion that makes her look like another creature of her general size and humanoid shape. The illusion ends if the hag takes a bonus action to end it or if she dies.

The changes wrought by this effect fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, the hag could appear to have smooth skin, but someone touching her would feel her rough flesh. Otherwise, a creature must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a Intelligence (Investigation) check versus the hag's Performance to discern that the hag is disguised.
