A witch is a person, man or woman, who draws his/her power from and confers
with gods, devils or daemons. The requirement for becoming a witch is greatly
different from the other classes. To serve your master is all the requirement.
So there is no attribute bonus.
Once a pact is made the person is usually bound to it for decades, if not
forever. Consequently, that character, bound to the edicts of the pack, is not
free to chose to study any other class, for to do so would mean to forsake
witchcraft and the master. As far as the master is concerned witchcraft and
their powers are all, to want more or others is unfortunate. To ask for other
pursuits or suggest dissatisfaction is defiance.
To sign a pact with a master is to accept them as your exclusive, true god,
lord, and master. Although a witch may pretend to accept other gods or
religions, their true allegiance is with their god, devil or daemon master.
The master's word is law and cannot be defied. All powers of witchcraft are
derived from their master, just as the clergy derive theirs from their deity.
Pacts bind the participant to the services of his master totally, without
question for the entire duration of the pact. As a result, there will be times
when the witch's master will ask the witch to perform an assignment or mission
for him.
The witch is given the ability to cast magic spells. This ability is nearly
identical to the spell casting abilities of clerics. The spell casting is not
learned like a magic user but endowed by the master.
At second level, when the master can be sure of the witches loyalty, he/she
is given a lesser familiar. For detail about familiars and how they function,
see the magic user spell find familiar.
Witches who make a major pact do not get a lesser familiar, but receive a
greater familiar explained under greater pact makers.
50-years of loyal servitude, minor pact, the devil, daemon or god will grant
that person the power/abilities of a witch in return for the following:
 | Complete and total loyalty/allegiance. |
| Complete and total obedience. |
| To serve the master and his plans and people. |
| To accept no other deity as his master. |
| To do the master's bidding without question. |
| To not interfere with the priest, brethren, and minions loyal to the
master. |
| To further the goals of the master whenever possible. |
| Pray regularly to the master and obey all rites and ceremonies he may
impose. |
Life long servitude, major pact, follow all of the conditions of a limited
time pact, plus the following is granted to the witch:
| A greater familiar is granted to the witch. This is actually a minor god,
devil or daemon in the shape of an animal. |
| The ability to regenerate hit points is also granted. Self healing
regenerates 2-12 hit points, but can only be performed 4 times per day. |
| Plus the witch can choose one special ability from the list below. This is
a one time bonus only, all effects are permanent.
 | Command dead: animate/control 2-12 dead, also be able to turn dead the
same as a cleric of the same level. |
| Invulnerable to fire: this means all normal and magical fire has no
effect on a witch. |
| Invulnerable to poison: no type of poison can hurt or effect the
witch. |
| Telekinesis: this is the same as telekinesis spell |
|
The witch can use the same weapons and armor as a magic user. They follow the
cleric combat tables and saving throw tables.
