[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 4275223, member: 20323"] I brainstormed a similar endeavor, but ultimately decided Warlock served my purposes well enough. IMC, I simply invented covens a warlock could join which slightly tweaked the class and provided access to unique powers. A few new warlock feats and I was set. I recommend you come up with clear examples of how your proposed Witch class will differ from the Wizard and the Warlock. For example, I came up with a utility power called "Summerlands" which slowed or accelerated the effects of time in an area (e.g. you may have only spent a day in bed with me, but a week has passed outside my bedchamber!"). That said, here are some of my early stage ideas... [b]Witch Class Features[/b] Ritual Casting Sympathy: When you have an arcane connection to a subject (friendship, shared blood, a tuft of hair, a lifted footprint), your magic is harder to resist and has increased range. Once per encounter you can use an arcane connection to affect the target even if they aren’t visible, and increase the save DC to 12. Witch Tradition (choose one): Cyclical Casting OR Ley Casting Cyclical Casting: At auspicious times (equinoxes, solstices, new/full moons), your magic is boosted. For example, at the spring equinox your powers of renewal are enhanced. Ley Casting: You can tap into the energy of power sites and boost your magic there. For example, at the site of an epic battle your powers of communing with the dead increase. [/QUOTE]
