WIPWednesday - the Boo Hag
Added 2025-06-25 13:47:52 +0000 UTCHey Critical Crew!
We're back from Origins Game Fair after an amazingly successful and fun convention, and it was a BLAST getting to meet so many of you! But alas, the grind does not stop and we're getting the final touches on next week's "Yarns of the Yon-men Mountains" release, but we had one final sneak peek! So check out the Boo Hag for WIPWednesday...
“...Resembling horrid, flayed corpses in their true form, boo hags magically craft disguises out of the skin of their victims, able to pass as friends, family members or even lovers wearing a truly macabre "skin suit". Using these disguises the hags are able to infiltrate areas where their victims sleep, removing their skin suit to dine on their victims at night, paralyzing and slowly draining them of life, or killing them outright… Often associated with vampires, paralysis demons, or other creatures that go bump in the night and steal the life-force of their victims during sleep, boo hags are known from draining their victims dry, paralyzing and exhausting them to the point of death, before flaying their skin to add to their collection of disguises….”
We're super eager to get this next release in front of all of you, as we feel like the Appalachian-horror inspired content is going to really help drive some fear into your players!
Stay tuned for more!

It does indeed! "Steal Life’s Breath. The hag straddles an unconscious creature that is Medium or smaller, entering its space. The hag presses down on the creature’s chest and attempts to draw its life breath from it (the creature does not need to breathe for this attack to function). The target must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become paralyzed until the end of the hag’s next turn and gain 1 level of exhaustion."
