Making nanny Ogg


Advice


I've been thinking about making discworld characters in pathfinder for a while, particularly Witches but because of the way their magic works and manifests it's not the easiest thing in the world to do.
I think I may have figured out now however how to make Nanny ogg and I am after some advice :)

So I thought that it made perfect sense <.< >.> to make nanny ogg a seducer witch probably with the trickery or deception patron.

Greebo is very clearly a cat with the brawler archetype although I don't think Nanny would ever send him into combat.

I'm thinking most of her magic should be enchantment based with a heavy focus on subtleness, I'm thinking of spamming extra hex to grab fortune, misfortune, evil eye and cackle quickly.
Possibly getting the diplomacy skill unlock and intimidate if it's good(is it good), maybe even performance combat? I have no idea how that works

Then moving towards a perfect spell but what spell to get?

She's a human obviously but with Con as a focused secondary stat, because ... she has a hard head xD

I've only read equal rights, wyrd sisters and the witches short story. So if anyone knows anything she should be able to do by all means.
Just no specifics of when she did it please xD


Greebo does get temporarily turned into a human on a few occasions so Anthropomorphic Animal or similar spell would be very appropriate. Nanny Ogg has an aura of being 'one of us' so any sort of charm effects would also be thematic.


Thanking you kindly sir :D

Anthropomorphic Animal sounds hilarious.

The aura of one of us ness sounds a bit trickier to replicate beyond skill unlocks for diplomacy.

Still wondering if there are any performance combat experts lurking around?


You have to get Knickers of Holding for the whole thing to work.

Nanny is a healer, I'd see her more as fitting either the Hedge Witch or Herb Witch archetypes. Personally I'd give her the Wisdom Patron as being the most fitting.


OH.MY.GOD.YES!
thankyou, I love you xD

I think of her as a seducer, she's had 5 husbands after all :P

The healing hex will of course be taken, and the heal skill, but to me the core of her character is her relationships with other people.

She was quite a looker in her day you know :P


I briefly played a witch inspired, not so much by Nanny Ogg specifically as by Discworld witches in general. Hedge Witch, healing and support, but I also played with the general attitude of "I'm the smartest one here, these men are strong but stupid and it's my job to guide them because they wouldn't know what to do with themselves otherwise.". It didn't hurt that I was the only one in the party who didn't take INT as a dump stat. Ended up being the party face in addition to the healer and only one with useful non-combat skills.
