My last article at Kobold Quarterly went up a few days ago: Holy Women, Demon Fighters. It has the demon fighter archetype for the APG witch class, based on a Cherokee legend.
Enjoy!
Pretty cool.
Thanks, DM!
As someone who's really enjoying Eric Flint's River Wars series this really caught my eye, and it looks fairly solid. Nice work.
Are there any thoughts on what familiars would be appropriate? Would anything be considered off limits thematically, if not by RAW?
So is this the start of a native american archetype, option, equipment, magic, setting book? :)
4WFG has considered something along that line, but we have no plans for it right now. And it wouldn't include anything from this series of articles I'm doing for KQ, as that stuff is their product identity.

From those in the APG and Core Rulebook, I would say the fox, bat, hawk, lizard, raven or weasel would be most appropriate.
Most (but not all) American Indian tribes considered owls to be a bad omen, so an owl would not be an appropriate choice at all. If the setting was Southwestern, similar to the Navajo, then a spider could be a good choice as well.
Wow would that be cool! To the best of my knowledge, we haven't gotten anything like that since 2E's Maztica.
It is something 4WFG has considered, but we don't have any actual plans at the moment.
nice ideas, I like the feel of it.
However the first time I read the Banishment ability I tought it would add an affect to the banishment spell. But as it seems it's a hex with unlimited times per day. Perhaps a tad strong as the enemy will fail eventually, I would put in max once per day per target or something.
The level change at level 20 is nice, but at that level enemies probably can come back just as fast as you banish them, and lvl 40 demons will make the save. I would have changed the 2HD per lvl to "when it tries to come to your plane, it must again make a save or stay banished, once succeeded this hex is broken".
Anyhow, just my 2c, but it sounds like a very focused, but fun archetype.
p.s. with the things you replace it's incompatible with 3 out 4 other archetypes, just fyi
Bookmark'd :Dbased on a Cherokee legend.
Thank you!
+1 from this Blackfoot.
And I actually would love to see a splat/region book with a more FirstNations feel, possibly as part of a campaign themed around indigenous tribal adventures at the roughly same analogous times. Would blend well with Nyambé and Maztica...

Thanks! Did you see the Buffalo Runner/Buffalo Caller article from earlier this summer?
I'd like to do something like that. We've talked about doing one here at 4 Winds Fantasy Gaming, but don't have it on any foreseeable schedule. If KQ/Open Design wanted to do something more in-depth than these articles, I'd certainly be open to discussing it with them!

Didn't see that one; time to go digging in the archives...

Based on the response seen thus far, I'd be inclined to suspect that a bombardment of 'helpful suggestions' may be directed their way.
