I’ve got a Witch/Magus build designed around cardcasting and hexes that I’ve been putting together for an upcomming campaign and I’m contemplating progressing her into the Harrower prC… currently her build is Cartomancer Witch:3/Card Caster Hexcrafter Magus:X… as it is now it focuses more on her Magus spells as her CL3 witch spells will be of little benefit…
If I go into Harrower I find myself in an odd predicament since I could progress either classes spellcasting at that point… my class levels would be Witch:3/Magus:7/Harrower:X but my options become Witch CL10 5th Level Spells & Magus CL7 3rd Level spells or Witch CL3 2nd Level Magus CL14 5th Level Spells…
If I advance my witch spells then I should pick up the Broad Study Magus arcana, but if I advance Magus spells then I can just assign my handful of CL3 witch spells to out of combat usage… I’m a bit torn between the two options…
On one hand I get a higher max CL, but on the other hand I keep both classes around the same CL and if the game ends up going to 20 (my groups games usually end around 17) access to higher level spells… Magus 17 gives 6th level spells while Witch 13 gives 7th level…
Ultimately the character is going to be a buff/debuffer type of build, not really going for blasting or high damage but I want her to be able to contribute to damage as well…
Also… is there a resource document anywhere that explains the harrow decks that the harrower and a few related archetypes and feats are meant to use are set up? The prC is very vague on the subject…
