New Witch Archtype - Spontaneous Casting


Homebrew and House Rules

Shadow Lodge

Taking this archtype, a witch becomes a spontaneous spellcaster. This archtype MUST be taken at first level. The witch's spells per day chart is replaced with that of the sorcerer. The witch gains a spells known chart, also identical to that of the sorcerer. Patron spells function similarly to bloodline bonus spells...they are spells that the witch automatically knows, beyond those learned on the spells known chart. Finally, a witch with this archtype associates her Charisma score with her spellcasting, not her intelligence.

I'd make it Wisdom.

GreenRonin Products had an excellent Witch class.

I homebrewed it eventually to be a spontaeous caster that had a spellbook.

Worked like this:

Spellcasting: Witches are spontaneous casters, but have spell books. The are like wizards in that they have to choose which spells they will know for the day, but like sorcerers, can cast them in any combination to their total daily allotment.

Example: At first level, Darrien has a spell book with 6 first level spells: Charm Person, Hideous Laughter, Sleep, Protection from Evil, Identify, and Cure Light Wounds. He can only select 2 spells per day. Since the party is missing a cleric, he takes Cure Light Wounds and Sleep. He can then cast them in any combination up to 4 times per day.
