The bad gaming product issue is a legitimate one. On that angle, what is wrong with it?Are you refering to Black Witches as too powerful? I didn't go through the prestige classes in detail but I suspect this is the one. For most games, it would end up as an NPC class so it's not much of a concern for me.On the flavor of the book, and what topics it does cover, I'm finding it a very good match to a number of Witchcraft topics.The rituals, such as Drawing down the Moon, are a nice touch. The threefold law is very fitting. I really liked the Candle magic section. Circle magic was a nice addition as well.The broom flying was a little strange, but the rest of the uses for brooms and foci were very fitting.I personally found it thematically very fitting to how I would see a translation of Witchcraft as I've studied it into a fictional setting where you have people tossing off spells and chasing down Dragons. When you adopt something into fiction for a general audience, you do have to take in a bit of a populist angle, but you can still do it respectfully and without losing the important truths. On the surface, I feel this book has managed that.I didn't like all the new skills though. Most of them can be and in fact already are covered by existing skills. Those that aren't might work better as special class features.However the class as it exists already gets quite a lot of features and not enough feats for those skills to be made into feats.In fact that is one of my concerns about the class... a Witch character will never have enough feats to really shine into a lot of the Witch abilities.I do think that overall, it presents a better package than the Green Ronin book. But that opinion is shaped from oly having the book for one day so far. I'm going to make a much more detailed analysis before I push to revise my PC.</blockquote>
