A nice gathering of monsters and new hags for use in your own games, though I wish it went into further detail about hags as a whole, and talked about things that Volo's never covered (like better roleplaying and deal making, things I have struggled with despite my love for this type of monster)

Pros:

  • Over a dozen new monsters, two dozen new magic items, and several encounters and adventures.
  • An entire chapter devoted to the bargains and curses that hags employ.
  • The three one-shot adventures effectively showcase many of the new monsters and concepts featured in the supplement.
  • Candy Hag!

Cons:

  • Between the information already presented in both the official Monster Manual and Volo’s Guide to Monsters, we already had a lot of lore and information on hags.
  • None of the one-off encounter drops are particularly compelling.

THE VERDICT: IN CASE VOLO’S GUIDE TO MONSTERS WASN’T ENOUGH, “THE HAG’S HEXES” OFFERS EVEN MORE HAG VARIANTS AND LORE, AS WELL AS CURSED ITEMS, INSIDIOUS BARGAINS, AND DARK ADVENTURES.

A fresh and fascinating deep dive into the rich lore of hags that is full of new creature options and variant rules. The new hags are very interesting, especially the delightful Candy Hag, and you get a full bestiary of very flavorful new hag minions. The supplement also offers interesting mechanics, including new hag curses and bargains, guidance on creating powerful Auntie and Grandmother hags, advice on running a hag and the tacticts they use, lists of minions you might find with certain types of hags, alternative covern spell lists, lots of adventure hooks, descriptions of several weird new magic items, and it concludes with several encounters and two full adventures showing how many of the new creatures and options can be used in game play. You get a lot of bang for your buck! I would have liked even more information about creating an Auntie or Gradmother hag, and also even more flavorful hag variants like the wonderful Candy Hag, along with additional cool new minions. Also, a full list of weird and frightening new spells would have really rounded out the supplement--perhaps, even a new mini-system of alternative hag magic could have been added. Nonetheless, it is an excellently written and comprehensive overview of hags that offers plenty of cool new options and creatures to use in your game. It is a great addition to the existing information on hags offered in the official Monster Manual and Volo's Guide To Monsters. Also, I would suggest checking out on the DMsGuild the amazing Monster Manual Expanded by Dragonix. Along with the nearly 500 monsters in that supplement, it offers stat blocks for Elder Hags, which provide a good bridge between a regular hag and an Auntie hag, or even a great template on which to add the Hag's Hexes's suggeted lair and regional effects, along with a couple of the additional sugggested features, to build a powerful Auntie Hag. Another great feature of the Hag's Hexes supplement is how effectively and easily it can be used with both official and other third-party material to provide a novel and exciting take on the iconic hag adversaries.

This is an excellent resource for players and DMs alike. Using one of the coolest enemies in 5e, the authors give new options for incorporating Hags into your game and making them feel like a real part of the story with player impact and ways to create a heirarchy of the most evil of witches.

There's something timeless and sinister about Hags - no wonder our old folklore is full of them. These classic antagonists are underused in D&D, in my opinion, and this supplement has the potential to change that. Some cool hag-related content like tactics and mechanics, magic items and monster stats among other things make sure every pillar of RPGs is covered. The writing is great, thematic and lucid. The cool layout comes with matching art and is pretty print-friendly, too. It's also practically a steal at this price-point, since it contains tons of content.

Overall, this is a great buy. I'm excited to see guides about other D&D baddies from this team!

https://youtu.be/HvBJpm-ClHA Really loved this deep dive into Hags, and their evil ways. Fully deserving it's 5 stars and 2 adventures to boot, what's not to love and why aren't you clicking buy already. If you want the definitive supplement on Hags this is it, from curses and Bargains to tactics this has it all.
