Blood Witch ver. 2
Created by: SJSamurai
The Blood Witch calls upon the sanguine powers that ebb and flow through living creatures. Fluid and adaptable, the blood witch calls to the flow of life, and can heal and harm at will. Blood witches tend to have flush and blushing skin, and often red colored eyes.
Bonus Class Skills: Jump and Tumble
Witchery Ability: A Blood Witch's first Witchery power is that she undergoes an initiation ceremony that allows her blood to develop magical properties that may aid her when casting spells. She gains the "Blood As Power" ceremonial feat for free, even if she does not meet the prerequisites.
Manifestations:
Fire: Bloodboil
Song: Ebb of Wounds
Blade: Sword of Bleeding
Storm: Red Mist
Word: Bloodlines
Bloodboil: Once per day the blood witch can cause a creatures blood to boil. This causes immense pain and slowly burns the victim of the attack from the inside out. The witch must make a touch attack against the target. The target may make a fortitude saving throw (negates, DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's wisdom modifier). If the save fails, the target suffers 1d10 points of damage + 1 per level of the witch (to a maximum of +10). Regardless of a successful save the target suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls, damage, and reflex saves for the next 2 rds as their blood boils.

The witch is proficient with the blade, which operates in all ways like a normal sword except that it gains a +1 enhancement bonus for every five witch levels.

The sword disappears when out of the witch's grasp.
Red Mist: The witch can cause a cloud of crimson mist made from her own blood. This cloud has the same effect as Obscuring Mist. Additionally, anyone within the cloud, excluding the witch, suffers an extra point of damage from all hits by Slashing or Piercing weapons. The blood witch can use this power a number of times per day equal to her wisdom bonus.
Ebb of Wounds: The blood witch can either transfer her wounds to another living creature, or take on their wounds in order to heal them. Her power heals 1d10+1 point per level (maximum of +10) of damage to herself while dealing the same amount in subdual damage to another target within 60 feet. A fortitude save is allowed (Negates, DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's wisdom modifier). The blood witch may also reverse this process, taking on subdual damage to heal the damage another has suffered. The blood witch may use this power a number of times per day equal to her wisdom modifier.
Bloodlines: The blood witch may utter an enchantment over a sample of blood, using it to track the creature it came from. The blood must first be put in a small bowl. The power will then cause it to shift to the side of the bowl, in effect pointing in the direction of its source. This power may be used a number of times per day equal to the witch's Wisdom mod, and lasts 10 minutes/ level of the witch.
Blood Witch Spellcasting: Starting at 9th level, the witch gains access to any spell with the Positive energy descriptor and gains access to the Bloody Strike feat. When a blood witch casts a spell the distinct coppery scent of blood can be smelled in the air.
Blood Witch Lord: At 13th level, she gains the power of Bloodrush. Once per day with a single utterance the blood witch can draw forth the sanguine fluids that fill any living creature. The vital liquids seep and spill from every orifice and pore of the creature's body, causing 1d8 points of damage, and an additional 1d8 points of damage each round for a number of rounds for every 2 levels the blood witch has. A fortitude save negates this additional bleeding (DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's wisdom modifier), but the target will still suffer the initial 1d8 damage.
Bone Witch ver. 2
Created by: SJSamurai007
Bone can be as strong as iron tested by flame. The Bone witch calls upon the power of life, death, and the worlds in between to craft exquisite spells from the power within her. Capable of creating minions with a song, the bone witch is truly formidable. Bone witches tend to be emaciated with pallid complexions and they often wear flowing black clothing.
Bonus Class Skills: Intimidate and Sneak
Witchery Ability: A Bone Witch's knowledge of undead allows them to Turn or Rebuke Undead once per day. The range is 60'. The witch then makes a Chraisma-based Turning check (1d20 + Cha mod) to determine the highest level/HD affected, and rolls Turning Damage (2d6 + witch's level + Cha mod) to see how many HD of creatures are actually turned or rebuked. If the witch has at least twice as many levels as the undead, she may choose to destroy them instead.

Song: Osseous Summons
Blade: Skeletal Weapon
Storm: Tempest of Bone
Word: Ward of Screaming Skulls
Bone Fire: Calling forth the inner fire of the witches own bones, the bone witch can immolate herself in a corona of pale blue light (illuminates a 60 foot radius) once per day.

Anyone struck by the witch (by a melee touch attack) must make a reflex saving throw (DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's wisdom modifier) or suffer 1d8 points of damage +1 point per level of the witch. The bone fire lasts for 3 rounds plus 1 round for every 2 witch levels.
Osseous Summons: The bone witch can sing forth to call upon the bones of the dead to serve her. Once per day the bone witch can animate a single skeleton within 30'. This requires a full round action. The animated skeleton must have fewer HD than her level. A large supply of bones or a fairly intact skeleton/body is required for this to work. The skeleton only remains animated for 1 round/ lvl of the witch, after which it drops to the ground, lifeless once more. (See the Undead template on pg 186 of AU)
Skeletal Weapon: Drawing forth the power of bone, the bone witch crafts a skeletal scythe, battle claw, or greater battle claw for her use in battle. The witch is proficient with the weapon, which operates in all ways like a normal weapon of it's type. The weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus for every 4 levels of the bone witch, the scythe specifically gains the vorpal magical weapon special property when the bone witch reaches 12th level. Only the witch who created the skeletal weapon can use it, and summoning the weapon takes a standard action. The weapon disappears when out of the witch's grasp.
Tempest of Bone: Once per day the bone witch can call forth a swirling wind of fragments, sharp phalanges, piercing ribs, and pointed segments of bone. This tempest assails anyone caught within it. It can appear anywhere within 100 feet of the bone witch, and encompasses an area of 20 feet. All within the storm suffer 1d6 points of damage per witch level. A reflex save (DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's wisdom modifier) reduces the damage by half.
Ward of ScreamingSkulls: The bone witch can call forth a whirling vortex of skulls to encircle her and protect her from harm. These skulls form a sphere around her in a 10 foot radius (+10 feet for every four levels). Any creature attempting to pass through the circle, or within the affected area of the circle must make a reflex saving throw (Halves Damage, DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's wisdom modifier) or suffer 1d8 points of damage for every 5 feet traveled. The circle actually travels with the witch as she walks, dissipating if she moves more than 30 feet in a single round.

At 9th level the Bone Witch gains access to spells with the Negative Energy descriptor and use of the Corrupted spell template. The joints and bones of anyone within 50 feet ache for a moment or two as they resonate with the power of the bone witch.
Bone Witchery Lord: At 13th level, the Bone Witch gains a new power: a +2 luck bonus vs all spells and effects with the Negative Energy descriptor.
Charm Witch
Created by: blackwingedheaven
The affairs of the heart are at the heart of the charm witch's affairs. Focusing on what has often been called the most noble of emotions, the charm witch holds love as her tool and her toy. Some charm witches use their inborn powers over love and lust to aid the relationships of other in a positive manner, acting as relationship counselors and wandering matchmakers. Others give in to the darker lusts of their own hearts, seeking to twist and manipulate the delicate strands of caring that link people together. Charm witches dress in clothes that accentuate their forms, seeking to heighten the emotional and visceral responses of those they encounter.
Additional Class Skills: Diplomacy (Cha) and Gather Information (Cha)

Song: Hymn of Devotion
Blade: Beautiful Heart Chain
Storm: Tempest of Adoration
Word: Lustful Oath
Love's Burning Blaze: The charm witch conjures a bolt of crimson and topaz flame into her hand, then hurls it at a target within 50 feet. It inflicts 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 per two witch levels, although a Reflex save (DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's Wisdom modifier) reduces the damage by half. A target that takes any damage from this attack must also make a Will save at the same DC or be stunned for 1 round as a torrent of emotion fills it. The witch can use love's burning blaze a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom bonus; witches with no bonus can use this ability once per week. This is a standard action.
Hymn of Devotion: As a standard action, the witch can hum a beguiling tune that alters a chosen creature's attitude in the witch's favor. This is a mind-affecting, language-dependent ability that affects a single creature within 50 feet. The victim can attempt a Will saving throw to resist (DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's Wisdom modifier). A failed save moves the targeted creature up one category on the NPC attitude table in the witch's favor. This attitude change lasts one hour per point of the witch's Charisma bonus; this power lasts 10 minutes for witches with no Charisma bonus. The witch can use this song a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom bonus; witches with no bonus can use this ability once per week.
Beautiful Heart Chain: The charm witch creates a whip out of glowing motes of energy; it appears in her hand. The witch is proficient with the whip, which operates in all ways like a normal whip except that it does not provoke attacks of opportunity when attacking adjacent opponents and can deal its subdual damage even to opponents in armor. Any opponent that takes damage from the whip must also make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's Wisdom modifier) or suffer 1 point of temporary Wisdom damage. Unlike normal Wisdom damage, this loss returns at the rate of 1 point per hour. She can dispel the whip at will, but creating it requires a standard action. The whip disappears when out of the witch's grasp.
Tempest of Adoration: Once per day the charm witch can summon a swirling cloud of light motes anywhere within 100 feet of her, with a diameter of 30 feet. Anyone caught within this storm must make a Will saving throw (DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's Wisdom modifier) or become stunned. The cloud persists for 1 round plus 1 round per two witch levels.
Lustful Oath: Once per day the charm witch can speak a word of power that infects a target's brain with such abiding lust that the only thing he can think of is pleasing the witch. The victim can attempt a Will saving throw to resist this mind-affecting compulsion effect (DC 10 + half the witch's level + the witch's Wisdom modifier). A failed save allows the witch to dominate the target's actions for 1 round per level. The witch cannot control any being with more Hit Dice than herself and cannot command the target to commit self-destructive acts. A target lacking a common language with the witch can only be commanded to do very simple tasks, such as "Come here," "Go there," "Fight," or "Stand still."
Charm Witchery Spellcasting: The charm witch gains access to all spells of the Enchantment school with the charm subtype and casts them at +2 caster levels. Whenever the charm witch casts a spell, everyone within 60 feet feels a brief moment of warmth and a prickling sensation like being kissed on the cheek.

The Word is active for 1 round per point of Wisdom bonus of the witch (1 round minimum), and can be used once per day per point of Wisdom bonus of the witch (a witch with no bonus may use this ability once per week). The target may halve the subdual damage every round the Word is active with a successful Fortitude save.
