Baba Yaga’s Mortar and Pestle: The Hungry witch is known not only for her famous abode, but for her rather unique means of travel. Baba Yaga can travel about the forest in a large mortar and pestle. She sits in the mortar, steers with the pestle and sweeps up her tracks with her broom behind her. This way she can travel over any surface, including water, but not air.

The mortar and pestle’s only power is it’s speed and it travels at a blinding 120 feet. At this speed most spells are at an increased +5 to affect the person driving the pestle and AC is increased by +12. Within the pestle the driver also acts as if they had a metamagically heightened haste spell cast on them. Only one person may sit in the mortar at one time.

Caster Level: 20th ; Weight: 200 lbs.
