Embrace the Eldritch: The Witch Class for D&D 5e!
Are you ready to cast off the mundane and delve into truly ancient, often forbidden, magic? Do you crave a character steeped in forgotten lore, powerful curses, and the raw, unsettling forces of the world? Then look no further than The Witch, a brand new Intelligence-based arcane spellcaster for your Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition games!
What is The Witch?
The Witch is a full arcane spellcaster, drawing power from eldritch forces, pacts unknown, and the untamed natural world. They aren't just spell-slingers; they're manipulators of fate, weavers of hexes, and figures of eerie presence. Whether they're solitary hermits or guiding figures in hidden communities, Witches bring a unique blend of control, debuffs, and versatile magic to any adventuring party.
Key Features You'll Love:
- Hex Weave: Beyond their standard spell slots, Witches possess a unique pool of quick-recharging Hex Weave spells. These specialized slots recover on a short or long rest, giving you reliable access to crucial spells throughout the day.
- Hex Casting: Master the art of subtle manipulation! Once per turn, you can weave debilitating curses into your attacks or spells, applying effects like disadvantage on attack rolls, saving throws, or ability checks to your foes.
- Full Arcane Progression: Command a wide array of powerful magic, with spell slot progression mirroring that of a Sorcerer, giving you access to high-level spells at the appropriate tiers.
- Distinct Witch's Paths: At 3rd level, commit to a unique tradition of witchcraft:
- Coven of the Crone: Forge deep mystical bonds with your allies, sharing and amplifying their magical might.
- Wildwood Whisperer: Draw raw power from nature itself, becoming a resilient and cunning master of the wilds.
- Shadow Weaver: Manipulate darkness, fear, and unseen energies, mastering deception and dread on the battlefield.
- New, Thematic Spells: Discover a comprehensive spell list filled with D&D favorites, plus a host of brand-new spells designed specifically for the Witch! Unleash Agonizing Whispers, touch foes with Blighted Touch, conjure Creeping Vines, craft a Witch's Effigy, peer into fate with Eldritch Omen, and even magically animate your very home with Animated Hearth!

Based on feedback, we have scaled the spell slots to be more 'balanced'.
We have had a few issues with the formatting and somehow we missed how many spells per level the class gets! Oh nose! So, today I will be editing the class and hopefully relaunching it later today!
For anyone who has the previous version, we appreciate you taking a look! The class started popping off on the first page! And this being our first class we designed in house, I could not be more excited!
That being said, If this class is still of interest to you, please keep an eye out for version 3 dropping later!
Thank you for your time and energy < 3
For anyone wondering, This was wrote whole cloth for my partner, Ki the Ghoul, to be able to play out their little witchy dreams.
There are more materials being worked on such as an "Animate House" spell, crafting witch trinkets and maybe something quadrupedal and snarky ;)
To the early downloaders: I've made a terrible mistake! I Uploaded version 1, which was being kept for reference. Version 2 with the missing pact spell slots section of the graph has been uploaded! I do apologize.
