Which Witch Patron / Deity?


Advice


Hello all,

I am GMing my first campaign and one of my players is a divine Fervor Witch. As far as I can tell the Witch doesn't know who the deity or being is that is giving them power.

Out of curiosity what deities do you think would make the most since for this? I am also thinking about giving the blessed one to the Fighter since they don't seem to interested into looking at archetypes right now and I am allowing the free archetype rule. I think it would be a fun little storyline.

Originally I was thinking Medic would be good but realize by RAW it seems like battle medicine needs a hand free which means it would be a little clunky for a two handed fighter.

The adventure I am running is the Beginner Box and Troubles in Otari if that helps anything. After that I am not sure where the campaign is going.

Radiant Oath

The Witch may not know, but I would say the player should know and pick it. It shouldn't be in the DM's hands unless the player has told you to pick for them. In either case, it depends on the story you want to tell.

Gorum would push the witch towards violence.

Cayden is a solid adventurer choice.

Lamashtu would introduce some darker themes.

You can also look into powerful beings that aren't gods.

Powerful dragons such as mengkare, empyreal lords, arch devils or demons, the eldest or any Fey monarch.

Witches make for a good "deal with the devil" approach to RP.

What is the player's alignment? What do they want their divine power to represent ?


No deity + medic dedication + godless healing is surely good.

Also, in my opinion, feels better to have a patron rather than a deity, when it comes to a witch character.

Thanks for the input. For some reason I thought I had to choose as the GM. I let him pick his patron.
