What's the best patron for a witch with a fey theme?


Homebrew and House Rules


As the subject says, what's the best patron for a witch with a good-aligned fey theme?


I'd probably say either Stars, Spirits, Trickery, Deception, or Enchantment.


I'll add moon,healing,insanity,shadow,occult, vengeance, winter, and water,Time( since there is no summer).
but then it all depends of what type of good aligned fey your themeing your witch on.


But which one is best?

I'm making a pair of twin sister NPC witches. One sister has a shadow theme (so shadow patron) and the other witch has a "good fey" theme. To me I guess that kind of means like The Summer Country of British folklore, which I kind of equate with more goodly aspects of the First World.


Although it's sort of off-topic, a lyrakien familiar would be very fitting for a fey-themed witch.

In that case, I would say Stars. Just my personal choice though.


I'd say stars or moon.
since winter and shadow would go for an unseelie fey


Apart from those already mentioned, how about Light?

Gives them a nice yin/yang-theme, and apart from healing, how much more "good" can it get?


Patrons are left vague and mysterious and the only crunch given at all i the spells they impart, so I'd look to those more than the name of the patron and pick spelsl that are both useful and thematic. All that said, Trickery and Deception are both quite good patrons AND fit the theme, so I'd suggest one of those two.

Shadow is also a mechanically good choice, but more of a darker fey theme than the others.


Thanks for the recommendations. Still not sure what I'll go with, but the recommendations will help.
