| Post subject: | Anyone Played A Witch ? |
While looking at various choices for Squinty_Eye's Pathfinder play-by-post game I started reading into both the Witch and the Inquisitor. I've not played either in Pathfinder, and in fact not played a class like them in any Tabletop RPG, and was wondering if anyone has and could give a summary of the experience. Thanks in advance! |

Witches are fun. Also, fun fact: If you play one, you'll be referred to as a "shaman" since "witch" carries heavy negative connotations. ~SE++ |

Do you mean in your world? Or in general? How does their spell casting hold up against other caster classes like the wizard? |

Everything will be relative to my world, but there's a few things that people tend to do in them: (1) A Witch is referred to as a Shaman (2) A Rogue is referred to as an Infiltrator (3) A Wizard or Sorcerer is referred to as a Mage (4) A Bard is referred to as a Gypsy As far as spellcasting goes, a witch has the same choices on spells per day and spell levels as a Wizard. Essentially, a Witch is pretty similar to a Wizard except for a few things: (1) Instead of a Spellbook, they have a Familiar (both are studied daily for spells) (2) Instead of an Arcane Bond + School, they have Hexes Aside from those two major differences, they play out almost exactly alike for stats. ~SE++ |

Ah, well I was asking in general, not specific to any particular world set. Just curious if anyone had actually sat down and played one to a decent level, and to see how it faired in the overall party balance. |

I've found it pretty balanced, but the threat of losing a familiar and all your spells is a little scary. Usually, when I play a mage, if I'm any decent level (usually 3 or higher), I'll make a backup spellbook during the downtime roleplay and store it. A witch can't do the same for her familiar. ~SE++ |
