[QUOTE="Winterthorn, post: 7307523, member: 1702"] I too have been working on a Witch class (and a Shaman class as well). In my case I am also updating my old homebrew setting from the 2E days to 5E, and that exercise has fueled my interest in a few new classes to fill some niches. In the case of Witches, they are to fit a triad vs Warlocks and Wizards. The challenge to me too is fitting them in without too much redundancy. I am trying not to overthink this, but my first thought was witches should be nature mages - arcanists who tap into the mana inherent in all living things, as well as the energies of the cycles of life and death and the seasons. Yes they compete against Druids somewhat, but they are arcane casters who use INT to support their knowledge of the mysteries of nature. A modest connection to the fey seems appropriate, and I figure witches should stick to the Prime too - no planar stuff. [MENTION=6871653]vincegetorix[/MENTION]: I really like the ritual slant you suggest, and I will consider it as I flesh things out. [/QUOTE]
