I just use the female pronoun because the stereotypical Witch of folklore is female, much like the stereotypical Fighter is male.Erin Palettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984632637166408245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-59132672385816393262010-02-07T17:02:38.647-05:002010-02-07T17:02:38.647-05:00Do you see the Witch as primarily a female class o...Do you see the Witch as primarily a female class or do you think it should be gender neutral?Tetsubohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339621610619347842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-58295397760864250502010-02-06T18:08:08.486-05:002010-02-06T18:08:08.486-05:00I don't really see the need for the familiar c...<i>I don't really see the need for the familiar change, though.

Doing it my way accomplishes that. :)Erin Palettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984632637166408245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-67617930649643281082010-02-06T17:09:22.733-05:002010-02-06T17:09:22.733-05:00By the way, I posted on Paizo about our inquisitor...By the way, I posted on Paizo about our inquisitor playtest - you can see <a href="http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderRPG/advancedPlayersGuidePlaytest/finalPlaytest/inquisitorPlaytest" rel="nofollow">the post here</a> and <a href="http://mxyzplk.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/salvadora-beckett.pdf" rel="nofollow">the character here</a>!<br /><br />I was planning on perhaps doing up a witch myself.

The witch's coven ability as it stands is ultra lame. <br /><br />You know, one of the other campaigns that our extended gaming group was running had a coven of this sort - they were a variety of clerics/sorceresses but they formed a maiden/matron/crone trio. So definite cool points.<br /><br />Although it is a little odd in that you can have a sixteen year old crone etc. But fair enough.<br /><br />I also agree with adding the buff spells. Although note that many of them get onto the witch's list via the familiars.<br /><br />I don't really see the need for the familiar change, though. Getting spells via the familiar is pretty cool and different, and you're not any more screwed by losing the familiar than a wizard is by losing his spellbook. You can get them back in a day, albeit not with all the spells in 'em. Maybe let Speak with Dead channel spells from old familiar to new at a rate of one a day, that way real high level witches don't get totally jacked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
