Project Update: Something Wicked this way comes: Playtest 04 | The Witch

Hail and well met Wanderers,

Your patience has been rewarded for this week I come bearing the gift of a complete and playable Witch class alongside all three Subclasses! (available from the dropbox link in the backer only section at the bottom of this update!) There is also an update for our Vault Digital Collection backers at the end of the update for those of you waiting on that!

Will you fight alongside your Blinkdog familiar as the Coven of the Hunt? Curse and corrupt your foes as the Coven of the Hex? Or perhaps you crave a simple life of herbalism and support as the Coven of the Wort? This 11 page PDF comes with the complete class table and features for the Witch, all three fully playable subclasses, 17 sigils to twist and warp your spellcasting (including 3 subclass exclusives per subclass!) alongside the spell list we provided a couple of playtests ago!


So the Witch is done right?

Almost! There are a couple of placeholders throughout the PDF, most notably in two of the Witch Coven spell lists there are certain homebrew spells you will notice are in Bold. These are homebrew spells that are currently still cooking and not quite finished enough to hand over to you guys to immediately break yet! We were going to replace them with placeholder SRD spells but that spell list can be quite limited in terms of what we are allowed to reprint for you guys but feel free to replace them with any spells of appropriate level and vibe for the subclass (as an extremely rough guide for each of the covens we recommend defensive/support spells for Coven of the Hunt to keep your familiar companion alive longer, and any particularly planty/druidic spells in place of Lone Oak for the Coven of the Wort!)

To reflect this, the spell list attached at the bottom of the PDF is very much a placeholder comprised mostly of SRD spells with the few teaser spells we've released so far chucked in, much like I said in the previous update feel free to add in any spells you think have a particularly Witchy vibe with the knowledge that plenty more custom spells will make it into the list before final publication!

Finally, the custom familiar statblocks aren't included in the playtest but there are examples of SRD creatures that make a perfect Witches' familiar!


Where's my digital collection?

Coming over the next couple of hours! I will be progressively updating the digital downloads over the next couple of days as we collect the raw files to distribute to you guys, but tonight digital collection customers will have access to:
Tempest: A Seafarer's Sourcebook - Our previously released and newly updated sourcebook full of piratey goodness!
Escape from Dimshore - An introductory adventure in the world of Tempest (and a retelling of the first adventure ever played in Tempests home game!)
The Curse of Cortez - A small lair/encounter boss fight with the dreaded Captain Cortez with fun and novel mechanics!
Still to come are the Tempest token and map packs alongside your discount codes for physical Tempest books, we are currently battling with DriveThruRPG to try and get the new and errata'd version of Tempest uploaded for print but we will know by next weeks update whether this is possible or not! 

Again just a small reminder that both digital collection and Tempest PDF customers will not be able to access downloads unless there is a 0 balance on your backerkit survey (this includes shipping/taxes)! If you want access before we charge the cards in the new year feel free to chuck me a support email and we can get you paid up and sailing the several seas!

That's mostly it from me this week, but first I wanted to say thank you all for your immense patience. I know a few of you have been waiting on support requests on the help email for a little while now but I was unfortunately out of office sick last week. Please rest assured that I will be working my way through those emails this week and getting everything ship shape! 

As always, have a wonderful week and I'll see you all very soon!
