Witch

Wizard archetype

(Witchmaster, Witchdoctor)

ver. 1.1

"Most witches are just users of ancient, magical teachings. Their science is based on thousands of years of experience, yet it does not differ significantly from the ancient formulas.

For them, magic is not a path to perfection, but a means of power. There are few connoisseurs who view magic as occult artists in their ranks.

Witches do not seek to understand the laws of magic - they are followers of practical, applied magic. They are not looking for the structure and connections of the laws, but rather loopholes."

About the witches...

The whole village fears the tiefling woman in the house on the corner. Rumors spread that she is in league with demons. Every night, a black cat can be seen leaving her home and spying into the windows of others. Unbeknownst to them, the cat is a vigil for the tiefling. She sees what the cat sees and now knows that the home is free of intruders and evil spirits. With that home safe, the cat moves onto the next home to help its master keep the town safe.

An elfish man dressed completely in black enters the home of the family that called him. As soon as he sets foot inside, he is overwhelmed by a sudden chill. He is led to the ailing child, whom he was summoned to help. After completing a ritual spell of herbs and sticks, the spirit tormenting the child is revealed. The elf casts a spell, somehow more powerful than what is normally seen, blowing the spirit away. When the spirit is blown backward, a black, red-eyed dog lunges at the evil spirit, and banishes it to the realm from whence it came. The elf takes his payment and walks away.

A human woman walks down the sunny streets, her white robes seemingly gleaming in the sun. A voice whispers in her ear about a nearby feeling of anxiety. The woman looks and sees a halfling shopkeeper stacking her merchandise. Sensing the halfling needs help, the human silently commands her unseen companion. The halfling suddenly feels a rush of confidence, and successfully, although precariously, stacks her wares to sell. Seeing that her work is done, the human walks on her way.

Enhancement trees:

Witch, Archemage and with Witch core 1: Bombardier (Black Witch) or Vile Chemist (Grey Witch) or Apothecary (White Witch).

Note: By default they only have access to 2 trees, Witch Core 1 unlocks a third tree (like AA for elves).Note covens:

- A Black Witch specializes in dealing damage to others. All fear crossing a Black Witch, for the fearful power they possess.
- The Gray Witch is neither committed to destruction nor to help, but seeks a balance between the two, which is most easily found in nature.
- A witch who has chosen to perfect the gentler aspects of the craft. A White Witch specializes in supporting others.

I also had the idea that the covens would be much more different, but that would be way beyond the possibilities of the archetypes. e.g: At first level, they must choose their coven as a unique feat (as priests choose their god).

- A Black Witch (spellcast based on INT), Witch, Bombardier & Archmage.
- A Gray (Green) Witch (spellcast based on WIS), Witch, Vile Chemist & Season's Herald.
- A White Witch (spellcast based on CHA), Witch, Apothecary & Beacon of Hope.

Class Skills:

Concentration (Constitution), Diplomacy (Charisma), Haggle (Charisma), Heal (Wisdom), Spellcraft (Intelligence), Use Magic Device (Charisma)

Spells:

Witch can learn wizard spells except Evocation school.

They supplement their shallower magical knowledge with other practices according to their orientation. Thus, some of the alchemist potions are available to them, as well as spells that wizards cannot reach.

Note spell slots: Wizards have 45 spell slots. Compared to them, witches focus much more on practical usability instead of in-depth magic use, so they only have 27 spell slots, this is supplemented by 5 (or 7) traditional coven spells and the simultaneous use of 12 (or 10) potions (this a total of 44).
