Hi, I am currently working on a level 17 character, the concept is basically "Bewitching girl who can leisurely wear casual clothes even in greatest cold or heat". So it is the charming variant of witches and not the hag one. Please help with competing this "puzzle" for me.
This is what I came up with:
Witch lvl 8
Daivrat lvl 6
Genie Binder lvl 3
As you can see I expanded the initial concept to include interacting with various genies, due to them having a representation in all elemental forces. Plus the exotic theme of the genies tie in pretty well with a skimpy dressing girl survivalist idea.
I have 3 problems now:
First, I planned to pick the witch patron "Elements", "Winter", or "Enchantment" but now my head hurts and lost track of requirements and such, am not even sure if the requirements for Genie Binder can be reached, I would like to know if the combination is a valid concept at all.
Second, Winter Witch seems like a good choice as Archetype, but I also like the White-Haired Witch. Sadly it doesn't seem the two can be chosen at the same time (actually, if I read it right, not a single Witch Archetype has possibility to be used with a second one), is this true?
Third, I believe I may be too much focused on the "witch factor" and thus I lost sight of other possibilities for the concept. Do you think the core-witch idea is good and manageable, or should the core class be replaced for some other spellcaster one? if yes, what other combinations would you suggest.
There are a few hexes that max be interesting for the overall idea but mostly for flavor, like Water Lung (sleep underwater even in hot or cold water according to concept idea), Weather Control, or Ice Tomb (entombing someone atop a mountain then pushing the ice block over the edge sounds like fun). However, I am not that focused on the actual core class features I think, as example I like the exotic allure of the White-haired Witch despite that it would mean giving up on hexes altogether. Picking the Winter Witch would solve the ice/cold half of the concept however and I would only have to worry over how to get similar abilities for hot weather.
I hope to end up with a character which isn't just for the looks and exotic flavor, but one that is actually useful in various situations (battle, maybe social interactions). Thanks for reading about the problem, and for any suggestions you can help me with.
