Baba Yaga

Baba Yaga looks like an old woman with a wrinkled face, white, tangled hair, and bony limbs. Her face is hideous to behold, with a long, warty nose, eyes that gleam with evil intelligence, and false teeth forged from iron. Baba Yaga dresses in shapeless black garments and wears shoes that often squeak, announcing her arrival. Although she pretends to hobble around, walking with the aid of a stick, she is amazingly quick, strong, and agile. She is difficult to deal with, being ill-tempered, impatient, and rude. However, she is a font of knowledge of all things magical, and is bound to know a number of spells that are unknown on any particular world, and she is willing to exchange her knowledge for wealth or services. PCs seeking knowledge should tread warily, however. Each question asked of Baba Yaga (if answered) ages the questioner by 1d10 years. The character might not realize that she is aging until her companions remark upon her changed appearance, or until the aging causes a change in ability scores. The "lost" years are permanently transferred to Baba Yaga who uses them to extend her already unnaturally long life span. If questioned about the aging, Baba Yaga replies: "People who know too much grow old before their time." - The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga (AD&D), pg 63. Additional Notes BGTSCC does not support clerics of the Sylvan Deities at this time. Baba Yaga is no longer selectable as a deity on BGTSCC after DM review.
