Usage	Level	Damage	Reach
FangsFangs (13): thrust 1d-1 impaling, Reach C. Any victim that takes damage from this attack risks contacting demon fever. After an incubation period of 1d days, he must make a HT-4 roll or take 1d-2 toxic damage. Every day for 4 more cycles he must make another HT-4 roll to resist or take the same amount of damage. After losing 1/3 HP to this poison, the victim gains a -2 penalty to HT until he heals above this threshold. After losing 1/2 HP to this poison, the victim begins to cough (p. B428) until he heals above this threshold. This disease is mildly contagious, as per Illness (p. B442).	13	thrust 1d-1 impaling	C
Dream HauntingDream Haunting (14): Night hags can visit the dreams of sleeping individuals, turning them into nightmares. This ability works at a distance. Each second, roll a Quick Contest of Will (or Dreaming, if better, for both sides). The night hag is at -1 per yard of distance. Each victory lets her drain 1 FP. The night hag heals 1 HP per full 3 FP she steals. Treat FP lost to this ability as FP lost to missed sleep for all purposes.	14	Night hags can visit the dreams of sleeping individuals, turning them into nightmares. This ability works at a distance.

Description

Written by Dungeons on Automatic, released under cc_by_4_0

• GCS ancestry draft: gcs/night-hag.gct
• Source template total: 306 points.
• Library-rebuilt template total: 306 points.
• CER was computed from parsed Typical Stats using the Dungeons On Automatic baseline CER path.
• Issue #14: Dream Haunting adjudicated as an out-of-combat predation ability and intentionally left out of the combat rating; the record's threat to a sleeping camp is a scenario consideration, not encounter difficulty.
• CER recomputed from the reviewed Typical Stats through the canonical Dungeons on Automatic CER path: OR 9, PR 7, CER 16, threat tier minor.
• Conversion baseline reported OR 10, PR 7, CER 17 (tier minor). The reviewed values come from the consumer CER implementation, which rounds damage once after the damage-type multiplier and credits ranged accuracy; the conversion baseline ceilinged the damage base first and ignored range.
• Encounter metadata derived (default): average number appearing 4, wandering weight 4. Encounter metadata derived for 0.2.0 from the reviewed threat tier and creature class (appearing: minor 4 / standard 2 / major 1 / severe 1, forced to 1 for solitary classes — including swarms, which are a single multi-body creature — and raised to 6 for gregarious minor creatures; wandering weight: minor 4 / standard 3 / major 2 / severe 1). The fan-conversion source states no appearing-in-numbers or wandering values, so these are derived, not source mechanics.
• Lair, treasure, and grappling remain unpopulated in 0.2.0 by package policy: the authorized fan-conversion source states no lair, treasure, or grappling values, and review declines to invent them. See review/policy/0.2.0-empty-field-policy.md.
• Description text is original Dungeons on Automatic prose written from this record's own converted statistics and from the project's art direction for the creature. It is not derived from the authorized fan-conversion source, which states no creature descriptions, and not from any SRD. It carries its own authorship and CC BY 4.0 terms in the description field. See review/policy/description-policy.md.
• Review approved by automated-mechanical-review on 2026-07-26 (batch ee-2026-07-26-b4-special-mechanics); GCS fidelity check passed, DOA playability check passed.
• Special-mechanics record. Mechanics the CER path cannot price are named per record in review/reports/cer-audit.md rather than folded into the number, and encounter counts are capped where a save-or-disable attack is present.
