Heya!
My character, up until now a half-elf sorcerer/dragon disciple, is changing into a witch. We're doing this because we were dumb and completely missed that I couldn't start being a dragon disciple until level 5 (I started at 3) and was quickly becoming overpowered (more HP than the fighter)...and the prestige class didn't seem particularly worth it to me starting later like that as it didn't really add as much to my abilities/character storywise like I wanted.
Instead, going with a transformation witch (Flemeth anyone? Hells yes!) as I can still do the dragon theme but with added character depth and more random fun things.
The questions:
I've been trying to think of a really good reason why, story-wise, a sorcerer would become a witch. Wisdom would tell her that she can gain plenty of power following her current path. She's a very happy person with a perfectly healthy family (I'd hoped the war would change that, but we kicked too much ass). The players guide is very vague about the patrons, so I'm having a hard time thinking of a situation where she would become convinced by one to change her method of study (especially as the reason she's a sorcerer and not a wizard is she has no patience for dusty books and study). I figure the end result will be somewhat less cliche in that she'll still be happy-go-lucky (as she vomits spider swarms...>.>), but might anyone out there have any suggestions for a good story reason for this all to happen in the first place?
Also, does anyone know if it would be considered common/vs/weird for a magic user with draconic bloodlines to be obsessed with dragons to the point where they run off to study/join them or something? Silver dragons, that is, not chromatic.
Thanks! :D
