[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 6698805, member: 2093"] i'd love a witch class or subclass - but I'd mostly use it for NPC's, I expect. I've only skimmed the first page of the thread, but here's my opinion: It would have to have a familiar for me to feel that it was anywhere close to true to the folklore basis for a witch. From there, yes, I think potions would also be needed. Maybe not even any spellcasting. Or just curses/hexes. Or maybe only spells that affect the mind, whether harmful or beneficial. Illusions would be good, too. Nothing area-effect really. Witches affect people, not other stuff. Animals, yeah. If I used a witch, she'd sit in her hut and people would visit her, and things would happen. She could spy on things, know secrets, etc... via her familiar(s), but she would not be a "go adventuring" kind of character. She's the kind who sits in the center of a spider-web and pulls strings. I've always been sad that hags were not more like this. [/QUOTE]
