Baba Yaga was the Russian boogeyman mothers told their kids of to keep them behaving. If you didn't behave, Baba Yaga would come for you. She would take you to her magical house, and she would eat you. 

 

In game terms (pathfinder), I think she would be a high level gingerbread witch. I think there is an adventure path with her in it, but I'm not sure. 

In Pathfinder's adventures, she's a level 20 witch/level 10 archmage. Str 17, Dex 20, Con 26, Int 46, Wis 24, Cha 32

 

She's smarter than you, wiser than you, tougher than you. And with that charisma score, probably has a hot bod under those raggedy clothes. How else would you explain all those kids of hers?

Fritz Leiber really ran with that idea in the Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser stories in his creation of Sheelba of the Eyeless Face.  S/he even has a hut that walks on stilted legs.  Incidentally, Sheelba and her counterpart, Ningauble of the Seven eyes, are easily my favorite characters in fantasy literature.

 

The illiterate Philistines in my campaign don't know it, but there is a ton of Leiber in my campaigns, and I want the hut for exactly this reason.

 

Yeah, I was the weird kid who took the list out of the original DMG and skulked used book stores for years afterward. Seeing the reading list in the 5E DMG makes me so happy even if I have opinions about what should have been on it.

With the new mythic rules she should get mythic tiers now.

I really want the griffon and the apes. Unfortunately my funds are a lower this time around so I am hoping they will be add-ons later. If not I'll get them when they are released at retail. I always worry that not all of the stretch goals will be met. So far without reason. I am kind of worried because of the recent drama. Very depressing. 

 

Any my chance there could be a rider for the griffin?  That would be so cool! 

Also a hippogriff would be great.

I like stats and I haven't shared my tracking of the Bones x 4 in a while. Here is an update after yesterday's numbers. The first two are the real comparisons and the other two are stretching the timescale of all 4 bones to be the same.

 

The number of backers surprised me. Right on track with B3, but it feels so much different. Thanks for the charts.

That's what the archmage levels represent in Pathfinder. She's mythic tier 10, following the archmage mythic path.

I have to admit, I would get a chuckle out of a stretch goal of a horse, pegasus and new unicorn sculpt entitled, "Magical Friendship".

[Charley]

And, there's your Baba Yaga.....

[Bathory]

Reaper just posted a pic of Baba Yaga on twitter. On phone at work so can't copy right now 

 

and they sent sent an update after so everyone has an email lol

Would love a mini of Baba Yaga riding in her pestle.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Man, I'll bet Hut sales are about to skyrocket from people who have to scratch that completionist itch now. I might be one of those people!

Also more paint. Don't think I have a purpose for Baba Yaga, and she's rather situational being in the Mortar/Pestle, but one more mini to give away to someone or practice painting on never hurts

 

[Werkrobotwerk]

Baba Yaga would have been here sooner, but someone dropped a tray of spoons, and she had to count them.

[alchemist]

I wonder if it would have made more sense to add Baba Yaga to the hut rather than to the core set.
