[QUOTE="Oats, post: 4917475, member: 82988"] OP updated with a slightly fuller and tweaked version of the class. It is ever-evolving. This is the second, less powerful incarnation of the power, and I was still worried about it. I am fond of the flavor and general effect, but I'll see about altering the damage output and effect penalty. Thanks for pointing it out! While that's a valid point (that I actually hadn't even thought of, thanks for that), book-keeping is mostly a non-issue on account of me being the DM, and me being perfectly willing and able to keep track of such things. The group of players will be really small and I obviously know the ins and outs of this class, so it shouldn't be too overwhelming. Hopefully! But I guess that's what playtesting is for, we shall see! Again, valid point. I briefly considered making it a Wizard or Warlock build option, but really I have [i]so[/i] many ideas I decided to thematicize them and build a class from the ground up. It may share traits with existing classes and not necessarily carve it's own well-defined niche, but it's still a fleshed-out amalgam of ideas and wants. And, Garthanos, the class isn't [i]really[/i] based on the Witch, real-world or fantastical or otherwise. The name is entirely secondary -- it was originally called the Hexer, then the Witcher, but I just like the way Witch [i]sounds[/i]. The idea came before the name, so it may be sort of a mis-fit.
