\ ray of sickness\n\n**2nd level (3 slots):** hold person, locate object\n\n\
**3rd level (3 slots):** bestow curse, counterspell, lightning bolt\n\n**4th\
\ level (3 slots):** phantasmal killer, polymorph\n\n**5th level (2 slots):**\
\ contact other plane, scrying\n\n**6th level (1 slots):** eyebite\n\nFor casting\
\ these spells, each hag is a 12th-level spellcaster that uses Intelligence\
\ as her spellcasting ability. The spell save DC 13, and the spell attack bonus\
\ is +5."

- "desc": "Any humanoid that starts its turn within 30 feet of the hag and can see\
\ the hag's true form must make a DC 11 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save,\
\ the creature is frightened for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving\
\ throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if the hag is within\
\ line of sight, ending the effect on itself on a success. If a creature's saving\
\ throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to the\
\ hag's Horrific Appearance for the next 24 hours.\n\nUnless the target is surprised\
\ or the revelation of the hag's true form is sudden, the target can avert its\
\ eyes and avoid making the initial saving throw. Until the start of its next\
\ turn, a creature that averts its eyes has disadvantage on attack rolls against\
\ the hag."

- "desc": "The hag targets one frightened creature she can see within 30 feet of\
\ her. If the target can see the hag, it must succeed on a DC 11 Wisdom saving\
\ throw against this magic or drop to 0 hit points."
"name": "Death Glare"
- "desc": "The hag covers herself and anything she is wearing or carrying with a\
\ magical illusion that makes her look like an ugly creature of her general\
\ size and humanoid shape. The effect ends if the hag takes a bonus action to\
\ end it or if she dies.\n\nThe changes wrought by this effect fail to hold\
\ up to physical inspection. For example, the hag could appear to have no claws,\
\ but someone touching her hand might feel the claws. Otherwise, a creature\
\ must take an action to visually inspect the illusion and succeed on a DC 16\
\ Intelligence (Investigation) check to discern that the hag is disguised."

"lair_actions":
- "desc": "The following lair actions are options for grandmothers and powerful\
\ aunties. Grandmothers usually have three to five lair actions, aunties usually\
\ only one (if they have any at all). Unless otherwise noted, any lair action\
\ that requires a creature to make a saving throw uses the save DC of the hag's\
\ most powerful ability.\n\nOn initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties),\
\ the hag can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects, but\
\ can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:\n\n- Until initiative count\
\ 20 on the next round, the hag can pass through solid walls, doors, ceilings,\
\ and floors as if the surfaces weren't there. \n- The hag targets any number\
\ of doors and windows that she can see, causing each one to either open or\
\ close as she wishes. Closed doors can be magically locked (requiring a successful\
\ DC 20 Strength check to force open) until she chooses to make them unlocked,\
\ or until she uses this lair action again to open them. \n\nA powerful sea\
\ hag might have the following additional lair actions:\n\n- The hag fills up\
\ to four 10-foot cubes of water with ink. The inky areas are heavily obscured\
\ for 1 minute, although a steady, strong underwater current disperses the ink\
\ on initiative count 10. The hag ignores the obscuring effect of the ink. \
\ \n- The hag chooses one humanoid within the lair and instantly creates a simulacrum\
\ of that creature (as if created with the simulacrum spell). This hideous simulacrum\
\ is formed out of seaweed, slime, half-eaten fish, and other garbage, but still\
\ generally resembles the creature it is imitating. This simulacrum obeys the\
\ hag's commands and is destroyed on initiative count 20 on the next round.\

"regional_effects":
- "desc": "Each hag's lair is the source of three to five regional effects; the\
\ home of a grandmother, an auntie, or a coven has more effects than the lair\
\ of a single hag, including some that can directly harm intruders. Any regional\
\ effect that requires a creature to make a saving throw uses the save DC of\
\ the hag's most powerful ability. These effects either end immediately if the\
\ hag dies or abandons the lair, or take up to 2d10 days to fade away.\n\nThe\
\ region within 1 mile of a grandmother hag's lair is warped by the creature's\
\ fell magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:\n\n- Birds,\
\ rodents, snakes, spiders, or toads (or some other creatures appropriate to\
\ the hag) are found in great profusion. \n- Beasts that have an Intelligence\
\ score of 2 or lower are charmed by the hag and directed to be aggressive toward\
\ intruders in the area. \n- Strange carved figurines, twig fetishes, or rag\
\ dolls magically appear in trees. \n\nA powerful sea hag creates one or more\
\ of the following additional regional effects within 1 mile of her lair:\n\n\
- Most surfaces are covered by a thin film of slime, which is slick and sticks\
\ to anything that touches it. \n- Currents and tides are exceptionally strong\
\ and treacherous. Any ability check made to safely navigate or control a vessel\
\ moving through these waters has disadvantage. \n- Shores are littered with\
\ dead, rotting fish. The hag can sense when one of the fish is handled and\
\ cause it to speak with her voice. "
