I'm going to be running some of the Kingmaker AP for my wife over the next few weeks, and it looks like it'll just be me and her. She's playing a Half-Orc CN cockatrice cavalier that will probably step up to become the ruler, and I was going to run a changeling Gravewalker Witch as a healer/advisor (also because GMing is the closest I get to playing pathfinder around here.)
I chose witch because it was a arcane caster (which I love), could be a necromancer (which I also love), and has healing spells (with how my wife has before almost exclusively played dumb barbarians will be very necessary).
I'm basically using the Witch to complement her Cavalier until she can start gathering some NPCs from the AP. I'm also using it to get familiar with mechanics I enjoy (Arcane casting, necromancy), because we don't get very many chances to play pathfinder all that often.
I was just wondering if anyone had advice for playing necromancers or witches. I've read a lot of guidebooks and forum threads, but I don't have a lot of actual experience. I did notice that the Gravewalker's Possess Undead power looked like a shortcut to the 'Magic Jar + Hat of Diguise' hide your undead minions tricks.
