Hagspawn

Among the varied and mysterious ways and wiles of Hags is the conception of half-Hags: Hagspawn. Occasionally a Hag will assume the form of a beautiful woman and seduce a mortal man, bearing their child for a brief gestation before leaving a mewling Hagspawn infant on the door of some unsuspecting household.
Although like all intelligent races, they are not defined by their blood, Hagspawn's appearance and innate connection to vile magics earn them a (not always undeserved) negative reputation. They are so often feared, reviled, and shunned by other members of their community; that many turn to the dark powers and evil ways that they are initially suspected of.
====Physical Description====
Hagspawn appear as decrepit, sickly, and unattractive members of their father's race. They often have off-colour, pallid skin; milky eyes, warts, and greasy, wiry hair. They also seem to age faster than other members of their mortal heritage race, but are actually quite long-lived and hearty.

===Racial Traits===
The following are the base racial traits all Hagspawn receive.
====Standard Racial Traits====
*Ability Scores +2 Int, +2 Wis, -2 Cha. Hagspawn have keen, powerful minds with powerful wills, but others find them unnerving (and often repulsive).
*Type Hagspawn are Humanoids with the Hag subtype.
*Size A Hagspawn's size is dictated by their Mortal Heritage.
*Base Speed A Hagspawn's base speed is dictated by their Mortal Heritage.
*Culture Hagspawn can appear in any culture, but they are most prevalent in cultures from areas where Hags dwell, namely Arcadia, Asgard, and Nied.
*Lifespan Hagspawn have long lifespans.
====Defense Racial Traits====
*Corrupt Vigor Hagpsawn get a +2 racial bonus to saves vs disease and poison.
====Offense Racial Traits====
*Accursed Will The DC to resist any Hex or effect with the [Curse] descriptor a Hagspawn uses is increased by +1.
====Other Racial Traits====
*Mortal Heritage At character creation, a Hagspawn must select a race of Humanoid type that does not have the Mortal Heritage racial trait. They gain the base speed, size and subtypes of that race. If that race possesses the Undersized Weapons racial trait, the Hagspawn also gains that racial trait.
====Senses Racial Traits====
*Darkvision Hagspawn can see perfectly in the dark up to 60 ft.
===Alternate Racial Traits===
*Coven Child Although there is not enough affection or drive for any single Hag to raise a child, some Hagspawn are raised among a coven of Hags and like-minded Witches. This leaves the child with an esoteric education, and a warped sense of morality. Their starting alignment must be any Evil, and their cultural skills become Heal, Intimidate, Knowledge (Arcana), Spellcraft, Stealth, and Survival. This trait alters the Hagspawn's Culture.
*Hag Talons Some Hagspawn inherit their mother's deadly talons, gaining a claw attack appropriate for a creature of their size. This trait replaces the Accursed Will trait.
