As a roleplayer (and Wiccan), I do not take offense in many of the bad ways witches are depicted in fiction--in fact, I do like them. :-)<br />Don't restrain yourself when creating art. If you are not making fun of someone else's beliefs, I see no problem... In fact, there's only one thing you should consider: "Do no harm." It works for art, medicine and witchcraft. ;-)Marcelo Paschoalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05869301766211022548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-19229817468665194732014-10-31T10:01:46.904-07:002014-10-31T10:01:46.904-07:00A comparison of your witch class to my witch class...A comparison of your witch class to my witch class.

When I wrote up my witch class for BLUEHOLME™ Compleat I went back to the contemporaneous material (early Dragon Magazine) and tweaked the Holmes magic-user scroll rules so they worked for witches with potions, and that was that.
