Cranky Dog's comment was AWESOME! (It probably started in Kindergarden, "You mean there are two COUNTS in my name and that's alliteration? Ha-Ah-ah!!!")
I've seen chefs throw salt over their shoulders for luck but I never know the origins of these old wive's tales? Maybe to keep evil obsessive compulsive-hoarding spirits at bay?
Old edition Witch Hunters, Witch Blade, Charmed, Witches in general, to me Rock harder than most character backgrounds.
I'm not a fan of the familliar/patron, but the poppet stuff seems so cool.
I never play with a Coven, but does anyone see poweful Witch Doctor builds or uncommon witch-related mastery in combat?
I went Water Lung, prehensile hair, manuever master, to grapple and deathroll after casting Slumber. I took too many AOs and to get the creature into hazardous terrain consistently, I'd need the "Dual Cursed Oracle's Misfortune" (Way better than the Witch's Misfortune). Shockingly the first game I played, first setting had a water feature, but it was a new GM so I didn't try it.
High DCs with min maxed Cha and Wisdom saves bad enough, but then Misfortune times two to own a minion without a picture in the module is really a waste of time.
A sleeping coup de grace is powerful enough, but I just love that I can sleep underwater.
Like a vampire who needs a coffin, I need an inflatable kiddie pool, becuase I'm haunted and wasting. I'm definitely not the party's "FACE".
With a lot of GM credit, I just build an idea then I tend to fade back into playing pregens.
Baba Yaga in Irrisen is better "historically referenced", she came, she saw, she conquered, then she left. In earlier editions we fought gods and teleported away, I think that the Winter Wonderland has human slave mines, the city of Crows, the borderlands with Ice Giants, the low fences around ever building except one and chicken legged huts at the various outposts with freaky dolls of destruction, Yaga should just be a symbol without too much of our interactions.
I have never played the adventure path, but I trust the thread comments that the author may have had to emphasize other material in his story, we could youtube vlog how an interview with her would play out. "So Baba Yaga, what are your true feelings about the child scent restrictions in PFS?"...
