[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8301183, member: 6803643"] I agree with Whizbang Dustyboots that the lack of intuitive ways to build a witch from the PHB with a straight choice of options is a problem. I agree with Garthanos that the answer is to use the tools already existent since to do otherwise would be to step on all the existent toes. But I think the answer is to provide very clear guided suggested builds for each character, and put those builds in the index of the book. So if I am a DM and my player asks me, can I play a Witch? I can say, sure, turn to page 126 or something, and you'll find it as one of the default character builds (along with Warlord and Gunslinger and Ninja and Magic Knight and other non-class builds that are examples of how to make a character from a package of feats and class choices). And in that build it'll say to choose either Warlock or Wizard class, and take the hermit, acolyte, or sage background, and select these 1st-level spells. Basically, I want a chapter section devoted to example character builds for each class. We got it in Tasha's for builds of Battle Master with superiority dice choice, I feel like they could go wild with that with spell choices. It would go a long way to remove options paralysis that many casters get when they have to choose their spells they know or are in their tome, etc… [/QUOTE]
