u/Teridax68 is back again with more homebrew. This time, they’ve published a number of Witch archetypes and variant rules.
Quicker Familiar Resurrections: Should your familiar happen to find themselves dying too often, particularly from massive damage at early levels, this variant lets you regain the larger part of your class features within the adventuring day at a price. By trading a portion of your soul to your patron, you doom yourself and regain your familiar, or wound yourself if you’d prefer a less harsh condition.
Universalist Casting: As a more extreme variant, should you wish for ultimate spellcasting versatility, you can choose to cast any spell as an occult spell. You must still learn spells as normal, though, and lessons require you to learn a spell as a prerequisite instead of giving you that spell for free. This is a significant power boost to the class, and as the variant itself mentioned, you’ll want to coordinate with your fellow casters if implementing this variant to avoid treading on their toes, even if they will still have major class features you’ll lack.
Gunwitch Class Archetype: Basing itself off of the runaway success of the Gunwitch NPC, this class archetype changes your Witch’s familiar to a firearm, trading off your focus spell for the ability to fire bewitched shots. Additional feats let you opt into Gunslinger feats more easily, gain more abilities from the Gunwitch’s stat block, enhance your firearm familiar even further, or empower yourself to shoot even faster and perform devastating gun finishers.
Hexed Witch Class Archetype: For the player wanting to more out of Witch’s Armaments and more of a hag flavor out of their Witch, the Hexed Witch transfers a great degree of your spellcasting power into martial effectiveness, making you a wave caster much like a Magus or Summoner. Archetype-exclusive feats let you attack through your familiar, increase the synergy between your unarmed attacks and spells, and even let you cheat death by clawing your way out of your own familiar.
