13 TH Age Witch

Witch
Witch
A New Class for 13
th
Age, by D. Jon Mattson
While wizards use carefully studied symbology and an occult
grammatical system to work magic, and sorcerers draw
intuitively upon the icons' power and the magic hidden within
their own blood, witches tread a different, less direct path to
arcane mastery. rue, they often study occult lore, and some
even manage to learn a few wizard spells. rue, it is not
uncommon for a witch to have a magical birthright that sets her
forth on her !ourney or an une"pected link to one or more of the
icons. #ut the witch sees each of these systems and links as a
mere tool $ one in a much larger toolbo" that is well worth
e"ploring. #eyond these basic starting points, the witch looks
for the magical connections that these methods share and that
bind all things, and she calls upon those beings that understand
such phenomena better than she does. %he does not limit herself
to one narrow system, but pragmatically accepts each gift of
arcane learning that &ate and the other occult powers send her
way.
'n time, the witch learns many useful tricks $ spells, of course,
but also he"es. he latter can be used with greater fre(uency,
by deferring the arcane cost to another time $ or another being.
)ost critically, by sensing the strands of &ate, she tries to work
with them, instead of against them, taking the subtle path of
least resistance to achieve her goals. %adly, this may bring her
to the attention of other beings that take an interest in &ate, as
well as those e"otic powers that she calls upon, from time to
time, in pursuit of lore. &or the witch, this is a small price to
pay, to gain a deeper understanding of the most hidden
workings of the universe.
Overview
Play Style* Witches come from many walks of life, but all
have an insatiable appetite for occult secrets. With such secrets
comes power but how that power is wiele varies !reatly
between witches of ifferent temperaments. "ome follow what
is often calle the White #ath an focus on blessin!s, life an
healin!. $thers follow what is sometimes calle the %lack #ath
an, while they are not uniformly evil, they o certainly spen a
lot of their time honin! curses an estructive charms. Many try
to follow a more moerate &rey #ath, healin! an estroyin!
with no bias, beyon their nees of the moment an their
morality. 'hese often feel a connection to the natural worl an
may be mistaken for ruis, althou!h it is not uncommon for a
witch of any sort to feel at home in the wil.
(n terms of comple)ity, witches are ri!ht up there with bars
an wi*ars. 'heir spell use is a bit more restrictive than that of
a wi*ar an, thus, ar!uably somewhat easier to mana!e
althou!h the subtlety of their approach may seem a bit trickier to
those who are use to simply blastin! problems out of the way.
'heir he)es are similar to battle cries, in some respects, but may
re+uire more ecision makin!, since they are base on other
people's rolls, rather than the witch,s own. -or those who en.oy
tacklin! situations from une)pecte an!les an usin! several
subtle steps, rather than one bi! e)plosion, to ruin foes, the
witch has much to offer.
Ability Scores* Witches rely heavily on their own self/
confience an their ability to enforce their will on others,
throu!h persuasion an intimiation0 inee, a clever witch
unerstans that the threat of power sometimes ne!ates the nee
to actually e)ercise it. As a result, Charisma is an invaluable
asset to any witch.
1our secon/choice ability epens a !oo eal on the sort of
witch you want to play. A stuious witch tens to be (ntelli!ent,
while a more intuitive one relies on Wisom. Any sort can
benefit from a !oo De)terity score, which helps you avoi
trouble, or a !oo Constitution score, which helps you survive
the trouble you couln,t avoi. 'he latter is also inicative of
the sort of supernatural tou!hness that many witches ten to
aopt, almost incientally, over time.
Normally, witches !ain a 23 class bonus to Charisma or
Constitution, as lon! as it isn4t the same ability you increase
with your 23 racial bonus. 5avin! sai that, check out the
)ystic an +ccultist talents, below, for two ways that you can
fu!e this.
Races* 6lves ten to make ecent witches, especially of the
&rey variety 7or %lack variety, for Drow8, but humans an half/
elves more often emonstrate the sort of obsessive interest in
secrets that leas one to the craft. "ome orc tribes have a
traition of %lack witchcraft, which half/orcs with a vinictive
streak may aopt. "imilarly, some !nome clans have a traition
of &rey witchcraft, which those with an interest in the natural
worl an9or subtle trickery may appreciate.
Backgrounds* Capricious be!uiler, celebrate meium, faerie
miwife, (nitiate of the 'hrice/'ol 'ale, mystery cultist,
obsessive alchemist, occult seeker, reclusive herbalist, repentant
emonolo!ist, spirit whisperer, stuent of nature, tribal
soothsayer, unsettlin! hermit, villa!e wise/woman, wanerin!
fortune/teller, wily swamp ha!.
Icons* 'he path a witch follows 7if any8 usually etermines
potential icon connections. 'hose who follow the White #ath
are favore by the &reat &ol Wyrm, the #riestess, an, to a
lesser e!ree, the Archma!e. 'hose who follow the &rey #ath
ten to feel an affinity for the 6lf :ueen, the #rince of "haows,
an, in particular, the 5i!h Drui. 'hose who follow the %lack
#ath often ali!n themselves with the Diabolist, the ;ich <in! or
'he 'hree, but selom more than one of these. A witch who
follows no particular path typically feels no stron! connection to
a particular icon, either. %ut that oesn,t mean that one or more
icons on,t have an interest in her.
Gear
At =
st
level, a witch usually has an athame 7ritual knife80 some
other simple melee weapon, such as a staff that oubles as a
walkin! stick0 some well/worn, often rune/stitche clothes0 a
pouch of ritual components an9or fortune/tellin! trinkets0 an
other paraphernalia su!!este by her back!rouns. (f she is
e)pectin! trouble 7an what witch oesn,t>8, she may possess a
moest ran!e weapon an wear very basic li!ht armor, such as
/ Witch = /
a leather .erkin, which she pra!matically remove from a corpse
or receive as payment for services renere. 'he latter will
probably en up with runes on it, at some point, as well. A city/
bre witch may wish to skip the scruffy armor, in favor of a
revealin! !own 7or artfully embroiere tunic8, which implies a
hi!her social stanin! than she actually possesses.
Wise witches, who believe that -ortune favors the prepare,
start with 3? !p. #assionate witches, who place their trust in the
whims of -ate, start with =@ ) =A !p.
Armor
Most witches aren4t keen on wearin! bulky, restrictive armor
practical woosy clothes or be!uilin! !owns are more their
style. "till, when one makes a habit of !ettin! into an!er,
puttin! a little leather between valuable flesh an harm4s way is
simply a wise precaution. As previously note, some witches
tolerate li!ht armor for the safety it brin!s0 others prefer to make
an impact with impressive clothin! an try to avoi !ettin!
swun! at, in the first place.

Weapons
Many witches are of the opinion that if you have reache the
point where you have to walk up an hit somethin! with a bi!
stick, then you have probably one somethin! wron!. (f a
witch4s allies are etermine to pursue this course, then she will
usually be content to stan back an bolster them or weaken
their enemies with spells an he)es. 5avin! sai this, most
witch spells are not particularly !oo at ealin! irect ama!e,
so some witches become surprisin!ly aept at usin! their ritual
knives, walkin! staves an ceremonial spears forC less arcane
purposes.

Class Featres
(n combat, the witches of 13
th
Age have two ifferent types of
powers to choose from, as they avance in levelH he)es an
spells. $ut of combat, they have access to ritual ma!ic.
!e"es
A he) is a ma!ical curse or blessin!, often tie to the workin!s
of -ate. Witches often use he)es to weaken an emorali*e
their opponents0 however, a fair number of he)es can be use to
bolster an inspire their allies. 5e)es are tri!!ere in a manner
similar to fle)ible melee attacks but with two critical
ifferences. -irst, a he) is tri!!ere by a roll mae by someone
else, not the witch 7usually, an attack roll or savin! throw, but a
few he)es use ifferent rolls8. "econ, usin! a he) counts as a
stanar action, taken urin! the ne"t turn the witch !ets, after
the tri!!erin! roll 7no waitin! aroun until a later turn, or you
miss your chance8. (n practice, this means that the witch will
keep an eye an everyboy,s rolls, between her turns, an then,
on her own turn, cast a he) that can be tri!!ere by one of those
rolls 7her choice as to which one, if several are !oo caniates
for a he)8. Naturally, the he) must be tar!ete on whoever
mae the tri!!erin! roll which means that, without an
appropriate 'alent 7see .e" )aster, below8, a witch cannot
usually tar!et herself with he)es. 'his also means that the witch
is typically limite to one he) per turn, no matter how many
eli!ible tar!ets she has, althou!h a hanful of talents an spells
allow you to fu!e this, a little.
Althou!h ma!ical, he)es on4t count as spells. Lnlike spells,
they on4t force the witch to suffer opportunity attacks from
en!a!e enemies, an they can4t be cancelle by effects that can
cancel spells 7althou!h, at the &M,s iscretion, they can
sometimes be nullifie by effects that cancel curses or blessin!s,
as appropriate8. 5e)es that re+uire an attack roll use Charisma.
5e)es are at/will powers an, thus, can be use repeately,
sub.ect to only two restrictions. -irst, an appropriate tri!!erin!
roll must occur, as previously note no usable roll means no
he), this turn. An remember that the he) must be use as soon
as possible, on the witch,s first turn, after she witnesses the
tri!!erin! roll. "econ, no sin!le creature, frien or foe, can be
affecte by the same witch with the same he) more than once
per ay. $nce you have successfully curse a particular foe
with a particular he), that foe can no lon!er be affecte by you
with that same he) until at least one ay has passe. "ame foe,
ifferent he) is fine. Different foe, same he) is fine. %ut not
same foe, same he). A!ain, this also applies to a specific
beneficial he) affectin! a specific ally 7incluin! the witch,
herself, if she is somehow able to tar!et herself8.
As with talents, spells, powers an the like, he)es have a lar!e
number of feats that can be taken to tweak their effects. Note
that Aventurer an Champion feats have been inclue even
for he)es that cannot be taken at the Aventurer an Champion
tiers, since this classification ties in with the number of feats of
each type that can be taken, at any !iven level, an also affects
the orer in which the feats must be learne, i.e. Aventurer
before Champion, Champion before 6pic.
Spells
Witches use arcane spells that function like those of other
spellcastin! classes. "ome spells are aily, some rechar!e, an
others are at/will. 'heir spell/base attacks use Charisma. (n
!eneral, witches ten to rely on subtle spells that enchant an
elue foes, rather than flashy attack spells0 however, they have
a few of the latter, as well, mostly at hi!her level. "ome spells
are note as bein! curses. 'his has no automatic mechanical
effect but may become relevant, if some story event or
phenomena interacts in an unusual way with curses an
blessin!s 7&M4s iscretion8.
As usual, witch spells have a lar!e number of feats that can be
taken to tweak their effects. Note that Aventurer an
Champion feats have been inclue even for spells that cannot
be taken at the Aventurer an Champion tiers, since this
classification ties in with the number of feats of each type that
can be taken, at any !iven level, an also affects the orer in
which the feats must be learne, i.e. Aventurer before
Champion, Champion before 6pic.
(tility Spell
When you choose spells urin! a full heal/up, instea of takin! a
stanar spell, you can choose to !ive up a spell slot to
memori*e the utility spell at the same level. When you take the
utility spell, you !ain access to a ran!e of useful non/combat
spells of the level you memori*e it or below. 'he variety of
utility spells you have to choose from increases as you !ive up
hi!her/level spell slots. 1ou cast all utility spells at the level of
the spell slot you !ave up for them. "ee pa!es =?A to =?3, of
13
th
Age, for the spells an feats that are available 7this is e)actly
the same as the wi*ar spell/!roup of the same name8.
Rital Magic

th
Age8.
Champion Feat* 1ou can cast full rituals by usin! all your
actions, each roun, to focus on the ritual, for =G 2 = rouns.
As with stanar rituals, your fast rituals are not meant to
replace combat spells0 they4re a means of ac+uirin! an
improvisin! wonrous ma!ical effects, rather than a means of
inflictin! ama!e an conitions.

few of these o not play well with others, so be careful that you
o not pick two that are mutually e)clusive.

has any. 'his spell is a bonus spell, not inclue in your witch
class count. Note that you nee not use this talent to access the
wi*ar4s utility spell, since that is alreay available, throu!h
your class features, as note above. 5avin! sai this, if you
want to use your bonus spell to prepare utility spell, to save on
witch spell slots, you may o so.
Adventurer Feat* 1ou can use your Charisma as the ability
score that provies the spell4s attack an ama!e bonus 7if any8.

at turnin! the resultin! syner!y into soli, useful results.
Whenever you are involve in a !roup performin! ritual ma!ic,
either as the primary caster or .ust as an assistant, you set a
minimum roll result, which is base on the number of people
involve, up to a ma)imum of J. When makin! any relate
