Witch

You command powerful magic, not through study or devotion to any ideal, but as a vessel or agent for a mysterious, otherworldly Patron that even
you don’t entirely understand. This entity might be a covert divinity, a powerful fey, a manifestation of natural energies, an ancient spirit, or any
other mighty supernatural being—but its nature is likely as much a mystery to you as it is to anyone else. Through a special Familiar, your Patron
grants you versatile spells and powerful Hexes to use as you see fit, though you’re never certain if these gifts will end up serving your Patron’s
larger plan.

Class Features
Gain these abilities as a Witch. Abilities gained at higher lvls list requisite lvls next to the features’ names.
Initial Proficiencies (1st)
Noted at start of this class.
Patron (1st)
Patron’s Theme determines Spellcasting Tradition, Skill, First Witch’s Lesson and a Unique Familiar Ability.
 Faith’s Flamekeeper
Patron contacted in a moment willpower was close to sputtering out. Their reassuring presence was like breath and kindling bringing an ember
back aflame, their magic giving strength to carry on and bring others to cause.
 The Inscribed One
No words passed patron’s lips in moment met; instead, words and glyphs danced across their skin while symbols and numbers swam in depths
of their eyes, spelling out their will in a torrent of words and wisdom.
 The Resentment
A single feeling radiated from patron in moment met them, as palpable as heat from a fire: desire to see every tall poppy felled and every proud
nail hammered down, whether to righteously bring justice for small folk or base urge to see powerful defeated.
 Silence in Snow
Bitter cold heralded patron’s appearance, in depths of winter solstice or on a frozen peak at end of world.
 Spinner of Threads
Met patron in a memory of an encounter yet to come or a premonition of something long since passed, as they untangled and re-spun tapestry of
time and fate.
 Starless Shadow
Patron first contacted at witching hour, as body lay paralyzed by sleep while mind had yet to escape waking world.
 Wilding Steward
When patron appeared, they moved with grace and ferocity of wilderness, their voice creaking of trees and sound of hoof against unspoiled
earth.
Familiar (1st)
Patron sent Familiar, a mystical creature that teaches and facilitates spells. This Familiar is a direct conduit between you and Patron, it’s more
powerful than other Familiars. Familiar gains 1 unique ability based on patron and is always selected, and +1 familiar ability that can be selected
daily as normal. +1 familiar ability at 6th, 12th, and 18th.
 Spells: Familiar is source and repository of spells patron has bestowed upon you, and must commune with familiar to prepare spells each day
using Witch Spellcasting. Familiar starts off knowing 10 Cantrips, 5 1st rank spells, and 1 spell determined by patron’s Initial Lesson. Choose
these spells from common spells of tradition determined by Patron or from other spells of that tradition gain access to. Each time gain a lvl,
patron teaches familiar 2 new spells of any rank for which have spell slots, chosen from common spells of tradition or others gain access to.
Feats can also grant familiar additional spells.
 Learning Spells: Familiar can learn new spells independently of patron. It can learn any spell on tradition’s spell list by physically consuming a
written version of that spell over course of 1 hr. This can be a scroll of that spell, or can prepare a written version using Learn a Spell
Exploration activity. You can use Learn a Spell activity to teach familiar a spell from another witch’s familiar. Both familiars must be present
for entirety of activity, spell must be on spellcasting tradition’s spell list, and must pay usual cost for that activity, typically in form of an
offering to other familiar’s patron. Can’t prepare spells from another Witch’s Familiar.
 Undying: If familiar dies, patron replaces it during next [Daily Prep]. New familiar might be a duplicate or reincarnation of former familiar or a
new entity altogether, but it knows same spells former familiar knew regardless. Familiar’s death doesn’t affect any spells already prepared.
Witch Spellcasting (1st)
Can cast spells of Patron’s tradition using Cast Spell activity. Incantations might rhyme, gestures might be as simple as an ominous pointing finger or
a complex folk sign, and familiar might even echo words or movements slightly as patron’s magic surges.
At 1st lvl, can prepare 2 1st rank spells and 5 Cantrips each morning from spells familiar knows. Prepared spells remain available until cast or until
prepare spells again. Number of spells can prepare each day is called Spell Slots.
When gaining lvls, number of Spell Slots per day increases, as does highest rank of spells can cast, as shown on Table below.
Some spells require Spell Attack roll to see how effective they are, or have enemies roll against Spell DC. Spell Attack Rolls and Spell DCs use Int.
 Heightening Spells
When you get spell slots of 2nd rank and higher, can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower-rank spells. This increases spell’s rank to
match spell slot. Many spells have specific improvements when they are heightened to certain ranks.
 Cantrips
A Cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn’t use spell slots. Can cast Cantrip at will, any number of times per day. A cantrip is auto
heightened to ½ lvl rounded up, which equals highest rank of spell slots have. (1st lvl Druid, Cantrips are 1st rank Spells, and 5th lvl Druid,
Cantrips are 3rd rank Spells.

Hex Spells (1st)

A hex is a spell shaped by patron and sent through familiar, rather than an ability use directly. Patron expects you to advance its interests and does
not take kindly to repeated requests for aid; as such, can use only one hex each turn, and any attempts to use a second hex on that turn fail and the
actions are lost.
Hex spells are a type of focus spell. It costs 1 Hex Point to cast Hex spell and start with a Hex pool of 1 Hex Point. Refill Hex pool during [Daily
Prep] and can regain 1 Hex Point by spending 10 min using Refocus activity to both commune with Familiar.
Hex spells are auto heightened to ½ Witch lvl rounded up, much like Cantrips. Hex spells don’t require spell slots and can’t cast them using spell
slots. Taking feats can give more Hex spells and increase size of Hex pool.
Learn choice of Patron’s Puppet Hex or Phase Familiar Hex. Learn most other Hexes from Witch Lessons.

or decrease HP you lose. This transfer also ignores any Temp HP you or target has. Since this effect doesn’t involve Radiant or
Necrotic energy, Spirit Link works even if you or target is Undead. While duration persists, you gain no benefit from Regeneration or

Witch Focus Hex Uncommon Concentrate Manipulate Illusion
Cast: [2A]; Lesson: mischief
Duration: Sustained up to 1 hr
New creature shape needs to be same body shape with roughly similar height and weight as self.
Disguise is typically good enough to hide identity, or impersonate a specific individual. Spell changes appearance, voice, or ancestry,
but not mannerisms. Can change appearance of clothing and worn items, such as making armor look like a dress. Held items are
unaffected, and any worn item removed returns to its true appearance.
This spell counts as setting up a disguise for Impersonate use of Deception; it ignores any Circumstance penalties for disguising self as
a dissimilar creature, gives +4 Status to Deception to prevent others from seeing through disguise, and add lvl to such Deception
checks even if Untrained. Can appear as any creature of same size, even a specific individual. Must have seen an individual to
replicate its appearance and must have heard its voice to replicate its voice.

Concentrate Manipulate

monkeys by 5’.
 Flagrant Burglary: Monkeys try to Steal any one item from 1 creature in area. Use Spell DC - 10 as monkeys’ Thievery. Their
attempt relies more on distraction than subtlety, so the victim knows what item monkeys were trying to take and whether it was
taken. Getting a stolen item from monkeys - even for caster - requires Stealing it from them or Disarming them, using Spell DC.
When spell ends, any stolen items fall to ground in any square of spell’s area you choose.
 Raucous Din: Monkeys screech loudly. Each creature in spell’s area must attempt Fort vs Spell DC.

o Fail: For 1 rd, creature makes DC 5 flat check whenever it attempts Manipulate action. Fail: Action is disrupted.
o Fumble: Until spell ends, creature makes DC 5 flat check whenever it attempts Manipulate action. Fail: Action is disrupted,
due to monkeys tenaciously clinging to creature, even if creature leaves spell’s area.
Casting Calm or a similar effect over monkeys makes them docile, causing them to cease making mischief for duration of Mad
Monkeys.
