[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7306396, member: 20323"] I get that it's fun to tinker with mechanics. Hey, I enjoy it too. But you need a clear identity of what a witch *is*. And you need to articulate that here if you're hoping for any kind of meaningful feedback. You cannot design a class starting from the mechanics. It does not work. You need to have some kind of story/narrative. That's what you hang your design upon. You seem to have an idea in your head of what a witch is – for example, you say: [I]I feel most witches are under the "Soulless" sacrifice, giving up their soul for power[/I] – but you haven't come out and clearly articulated what a witch's identity is. You're being exceedingly opaque. You need to communicate what a witch is to you. Don't assume we "just know." OK, why do you think that witches gain magic by selling their souls? What literary/film/historical sources are you drawing upon for that definition? And how is it different from a warlock? [/QUOTE]
