The People Yearn For Hags (Patreon)

My patrons have factionalized. They are at the gates. My demesne is aflame. I relinquish these night hags as a peace offering, but I want you to know they were made with pure, unfiltered resentment.

The night hags get a wider spread of variants and I've pared down Nightmare Haunting to make it a bit less fiddly and a bit more gameable; there are ways to disincentivize it, there are ways to punish it, and ways to escalate it into combat, but it doesn't require a bunch of weird fantasy logistics.

For species this week, we've got a bunch of weird-magic/witchy types of things. Changelings get to do the spiderman-pointing move and steal party members' abilities, plus get to take species feats from other species. Nothics get to (painfully) force knowledge into other people's brains, and magically vibe out secrets (not necessarily game-useful ones, maybe this NPC's got an unrequited crush or something). Shadar-Kai are just edgy to the max. They get a raven buddy. They get evil murder magic. They get debilitatingly bored when nothing violent is happening.
