[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 3348727, member: 4936"] Nearly done with Witchly crunch...and I have some questions. The witch class description has only ??? under the weapon and armor proficiencies heading. Any chance I could get that info? :) Also, is a Rowaini Witch another of those class/race combos that would be hard to explain at Jhaar? If so, could you give me an idea as to why? That way I'll be sure to address the difficulty in the background I'm working up. There's also a class feature witches get called Augmented Reagents. I think I get how it works...but is there a list of the reagents and their effects? So I can be on the lookout for them? Similar question for Supreme Reagants (though that's less urgent :)). When computing the bonuses for a witch familiar, there's a lot of overlap, naturally, between the benefits a familiar gets and the benefits an animal companion gets. For example, companions get evasion...but familiars get Improved Evasion. That's easy enough. But do the natural armor bonuses the animal gets stack? Or do you just use the higher applicable figure? Similarly, does the creature use the HP and BAB and saves of its Hit Dice (boosted by the animal companion abilities), or the fixed HP, BAB, and saves of the familiar (half master's HP, BAB and base saves as master)? Hee. The assumption I'm using for now is that the natural armor bonuses stack, and that everything else uses the most favorable results for either the HD of the pet or the stats of the witch, since this is a high power setting. Given that, I'm torn between a raven (superior spy/messenger) and a medium viper (superior combatant). Both seem pretty witchy. HMM! Oh yeah, how do you want to do hit points? Roll? Average? And character wealth is standard for level 5? Sorry if you already answered this stuff. It's a lot of posts to go through. :) [/QUOTE]
