Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Witch is proficient with all simple weapons and light armor. Trickery, Hag Bite or Bibbity Bobbity BooĬlass Skills ( Skill Points::6 + Int modifier per level, ×4 at 1st level)Īll of the following are class features of the Witch. Races: Just about any race that lives above ground. Maintaining both should not be hard, and the physical ability scores are practically optional. That's not bad at all!Ībilities: the Witch wants a reasonably high Charisma, for the spell-like and Supernatural abilities, but also wants a good Intelligence or Wisdom, for spellcasting (they can choose which one). Good casting and helpful abilities to create temporary items. Did you ever want a vase made of human flesh? Maybe even turning the morphed statues back into flesh. By the same token, they have enough oddball spells there that more experienced players can go around turning the forest into their personal army, or turning a room of people into statues, reshaping them into other objects, then covering them in symbols and adding sympathy so people go and touch them. It's as simple as "pump your DCs up high and go wild". The witch can happily be played by beginners: they have Save or Lose spells and save-penalizing spells. Also, there is the mandatory Monty Python reference, and they have spellcasting which is by no means shabby. They gain the ability to fly, they can use cauldrons to scry and make magic potions, they have a ritual under the full moon, and they have a scary evil eye. The witch in D&D draws upon the various fantasy sources, along with an option to be a good, nature-friendly, curse-removing witch for all the hippy wicca folks out there. Occasionally they're just generically evil - they're bad because they're witches, but they don't particularly do anything that evil, and sometimes there are good witches. Usually they are evil and fly on broomsticks, cackling and cursing/poisoning the heroines into a coma or death, so that the prince charming can save them and live happily ever after. Fantasy literature has always had witches.
