[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 8299388, member: 6802951"] I'd probably shy away from making a Witch class. There are already many existing classes that seem to cover most of the bases. If someone said that they wanted to play a witch class in my game, the first thing that I'd have to ask them is what their vision of a witch [I]was[/I]. A single invocation brings you up to the level of a fighter with a feat. - But the Warlock is also a primary caster with better skills and a lot of other Invocations. Once you start "dumping all your invocations into enhancing Eldritch Blast" you can do things that the fighter just can't. It [I]is[/I] a step down in raw power. For example the Celestial Warlock has a bonus to Fire and Radiant spells. - But they're still better off using Eldritch blast than Sacred Flame. You can definitely do things with the Warlock class that don't involve Eldritch Blast. - It can be a very flexible class. But unless they have a very strong concept, many people find the drop in raw power to be a sacrifice they don't always want to make. [/QUOTE]
