Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marandahir" data-source="post: 8175817" data-attributes="member: 6803643">I think better to make 4 different subclasses, like how we have the Assassin Rogue and the Way of Shadows Monk and College of Whispers Bard and Trickery Domain Cleric that all lean into "Ninja or Shadow Assassin" concept from different traditions. Or how we've got Arcane Archer and Eldritch Knight for Fighters, Arcane Trickster for Rogues, Battle Smith and Forge Adept and Armourer for Artificers, Oath of the Watchers for Paladins, College of Swords and College of Valour for Bards, Bladesingers and War Magic Wizards, and Hexblades and Blade Pact Warlocks, all leaning into the Arcane Gish. Theses are much more interesting ways of exploring the Arcane Warrior than creating an Arcane warrior class that has one subclass that leans Bard, one that leans Wizard, one that leans Artificer, one that leans Paladin, one that leans Sorcerer, one that leans Warlock, etc. It means that you don't need to define what the spell list is for the Arcane Warrior separate from these other classes and try to just give them everything, because there's tons of different ways to define the concept.Witch is similar. The different versions of what a Witch is are so radically different from each other they're better given as subclasses that lean together without a core class that represents the concept they're leaning toward.</blockquote>
