The Hag Mother

 
*** Version 1.2 ***  (Changelog:  Minor grammar edits, spells changed, features renamed/changed)


You have made a pact with an ancient hag. This being’s motivations are often inscrutable, dangerous, and sometimes twisted.

Hags look upon younger creatures from the perspective of a cantankerous grandparent who no longer cares what anyone thinks — set in her ways, free to speak her mind, and not afraid to bring down punishment if pushed too far. Hags enjoy meddling with other people’s lives, like busybodies with cruel intentions. Any time a hag agrees to help someone, the bargain includes a price to be paid, plus a hidden plan by which she sets the mortal up to fail, or a way that she gains leverage (whether over the deal-maker or someone else).

Witch's Craft

1st-level Hag Mother feature

You gain proficiency in with alchemist's supplies, and the time and gold you must spend to craft a potion is halved.

Additionally, you learn the cantrip vicious mockery which counts as a warlock cantrip for you. 

Hag's Servant

1st-level Hag Mother feature

You gain the service of a fey or infernal spirit sent by the Hag Mother to watch over you. The spirit assumes the form and game statistics of a tiny beast:  bat, cat, crab, frog, hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, quipper, rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel.

The servant can telepathically share with you what it sees and hears (no action required). It doesn’t require sleep. And, while within 30 feet of you, it can awaken you from sleep as a reaction.

Your servant acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands which you can give telepathically while it is within 100 feet of you. Additionally, in combat, you roll initiative for the servant and control how it acts. If it drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. At the end of a short or long rest, you can call the servant back to you—no matter where it is or whether it died—and it reappears within 5 feet of you.

Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your servant can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your servant must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it.

Shapechanger

6th-level Hag Mother feature

At 10th level, you can cast polymorph without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you can target only yourself and transform into a tiny beast form (CR 1/8 or lower) of your choice. Once you cast polymorph in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Additionally, you can cast the spell alter self once per long rest.

Magical Nature

10th-level Hag Mother feature

Your pact has magically altered you, giving you advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

In addition, you are immune to disease and age at a slower rate. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year, and you are immune to being magically aged.

Dark Magics

14th-level Hag Mother feature

At 14th level, you have learned to channel the magic of the Hag Mother to cast certain spells at will.

You can cast each of the following spells, without expending a spell slot or requiring material components: dream (with you as the messenger), geas, or scrying. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
