[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 7725746, member: 27252"] So, a Good Witch, sort of. It's OK, but I actually like the danger of playing a character that makes a deal with the devil, still! In all though, it's quite a good addition, but there are a couple of things: Firstly, some of the Warlocks abilities and developments are a bit undefined/undeveloped still.
