The Witch

 

Abilities: Intelligence determines how powerful a spell a witch can cast, how many spells she can cast, and how hard those spells are to resist. To cast a spell, a witch must have an Intelligence score of 10 + the spell’s level. In addition, a witch gets bonus spells based upon Intelligence. The Difficulty Class of a saving throw against a witch’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the witch’s Intelligence modifier. High Dexterity is helpful for a witch, who typically wears little or no armor, because it provides her with an Armor Class bonus. A good Constitution gives extra hit points, a resource that she is otherwise very low on.

 

Alignment: Any

 

Hit Die: d4

 

Class Skills: The witch’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Alchemy (Int), Animal Empathy (Wis), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Scry (Int), Spellcraft (Int), and Wilderness Lore (Wis)

 

Class Features: All of the following are class features of the witch: Weapon and Armor Proficiency (as wizard), Spells (as wizard), Familiar (as wizard), Brew Potion, Spellbooks (as wizard), and Spell Mastery (as wizard).
