Message: <blockquote data-quote="Turanil" data-source="post: 3182357" data-attributes="member: 9646">How do you see a witch? If a witch class was to be included in your game, which concept would you prefer?1) Great Goddess WorshiperI mean: the main concept behind the witches as portrayed in the Netbook of Witches / Liber Mysterium, and vaguely inspired from Wiccan priestesses and the like. That is, female magic-users that heard "The Call" from the "Great Goddess", and now serve Her as sorts of wizard-priestesses organized into covens. Such witches could be good, neutral, evil, etc., as depending on their coven and individual inclinations. Probably a specific character class where game mechanics are concerned.2) Evil Sorceress Consorting with Fiends Witches as they were seen in the middle-ages, except that in the game they indeed actually consort with demons, curse people, etc. Probably a specific character class where game mechanics are concerned.3) Rural Petty Magic-user Brewing Low-Quality PotionsPoor and ignorant magic-users found in remote villages. They mostly brew low-quality magical elixirs and potions; but when it comes to spellcasting they cannot compete with true mages such as wizards and the like. Probably the Adept npc class where game mechanics are concerned.4) Derogatory Name Given to Any Female Arcane SpellcasterThere are no witches per se. When intolerant and fanatic priests or puritans encounter a female spellcaster, whether she is a wizard, druid, etc., they call her "witch" all the same. Hence, it is but a derogatory word, by way of which they hope to defame her. Witches could be seen as evil sorceresses consorting with demons by the superstitious, but there wouldn't be any specific character class of witch. This is all about superstition and prejudice.5) Other / ExplainOf course I expect even more "burned and roasted" responses than in the similar thread about elves...   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />  But maybe someone has a different view on the subject?</blockquote>
