[QUOTE="Winterthorn, post: 7307984, member: 1702"] I too have thought a lot about the Druid as a template for the Witch, but not as a subclass because I don't see the Witch as a divine caster. The Witch I have been working on borrows plenty of the Druid's spells, and a powered down version of Wildshape. But I also looked at the Bard spells for the "trickery" side, and stole a few Warlock spells. And finally, I decided I want to see if using the Spell point system in the DMG would work - thus altogether the Witch could have some Druid and some Warlock flavours and yet be its own class. One thing I starting doing is reviewing the mechanical structure of all the other 5E classes, and the SRD helps as it is all crunch. While fluff is needed to help justify a new arcane class, I feel the mechanics have to "fit" the general class structure and be sufficiently distinct too. It's still a work in progress for me. So when it comes to a final draft I plan to first compose the crunch only version (as thought it could be plugged into the SRD) to ensure mechanical soundness, and then I will dress the Witch up with the needed fluff, already prepared, to complete the answer to the first question: What is a Witch? [MENTION=6803713]Slit518[/MENTION]: I applaud your effort, and encourage you to keeping working on it, as I will endeavour to flesh out mine. :-) [/QUOTE]
