No worries, will be finishing the stuff soonish,


Been also looking over the Witch Class for a friends campaign and discovered that there is a lot more that you need to do to be finished Giglamesh...
1: Fix up your Familiar. The stuff your looking for here is the Familiar Basics.
2: Work out your Familiar's Stored Spells, the Familiar starts with 3+Int Mod number of Level 1 Spells and All Cantrips then at Level 2 and every 2 onwards starts storing the Patron Spells. The Familiar acts as your Spellbook in terms of where you get your spells from...

If you guys want, I can make some Token Images for your characters for RP reasons? I am doing it with NPCs so why not???

[mainiac]

I woulnd't mind.

ANYWAY...
Game has started, well the Prologue anyway...
First up is actually Remuthra intro to Sandpoint, he is the furthest back in the timeline for the prologue to take place, other then of course the younger characters but his event happens firstish...

Images sound good.

So what's actually wrong with my familiar?

See the links that I gave before...

Also need pictures if you want Tokens...

[GiglameshDespair]

That doesnt really help. Ive read the links, but I'm not seeing where it and I diverge.

1: Stats, technically we could just hand wave them, but I would like to make use of the fact that its a Post to Play game and bring your familiar into play more.

Familiar Basics

Use the basic statistics for a creature of the familiar's kind, but with the following changes.

Hit Dice: For the purpose of effects related to number of Hit Dice, use the master's character level or the familiar's normal HD total, whichever is higher.

Hit Points: The familiar has half the master's total hit points (not including temporary hit points), rounded down, regardless of its actual Hit Dice.

Attacks: Use the master's base attack bonus, as calculated from all her classes. Use the familiar's Dexterity or Strength modifier, whichever is greater, to calculate the familiar's melee attack bonus with natural weapons. Damage equals that of a normal creature of the familiar's kind.

Saving Throws: For each saving throw, use either the familiar's base save bonus (Fortitude +2, Reflex +2, Will +0) or the master's (as calculated from all her classes), whichever is better. The familiar uses its own ability modifiers to saves, and it doesn't share any of the other bonuses that the master might have on saves.

Skills: For each skill in which either the master or the familiar has ranks, use either the normal skill ranks for an animal of that type or the master's skill ranks, whichever is better. In either case, the familiar uses its own ability modifiers. Regardless of a familiar's total skill modifiers, some skills may remain beyond the familiar's ability to use. Familiars treat Acrobatics, Climb, Fly, Perception, Stealth, and Swim as class skills.

2: The Spells that your Witch knows COMES FROM the Familiar. It is a living Spell Book. To renew spells you have to commune with it for 1 Hour as well as sleeping the 8 *or whatever it is for elvenkind.
The "Spellbook" comes with a Total of 3+Intmod number of spells + all the cantrips. Which means that Ketarii knows 7 Spells but you have only listed 2, sleep and mage armour. You can list another 5 spells so that when needed you can swap out and such. THIS is how spellbooks work...

And you do have to pick them now, rather than waiting until you know whether you'll need them later, unfortunately (unless Nevyn waives that, but it seems like he wants you to pick). It the main reason I don't like playing spellbook classes.

Come now, its not that hard. I mean yes it takes a while more to do then other classes but I does help, you can put situational spells in the spellbook and set yourself up for combat areas in case of being thrown into one by the DM, then when your situation spells come into play, you can set them up after the rest point from everyone needing and such. BOOM, the DM now has to face you being able to do something else other then throw fireballs...

[Bluerobin]

Oh it's not super difficult, it's just more bookkeeping than I like to do. Spell casting in general is like that for me. Supremely useful, but I prefer keeping a backpack full of scrolls and wands over picking and choosing what to put in a spellbook/what to memorize.

[Neyvn]

Maybe I shouldn't have started with Remuthra...

[GiglameshDespair]

The way I'm thinking of doing things is only having the spells I've selected and the like on my witch's sheet, and instead having a second sheet for my familiar with all the spells I know on it. That alright?

You don't outright need to make a whole sheet, just take note of 4 things
1: Hit Dice
2: HP
3: Attack and Damage.
4: Stored Spell List.
You can easily do this in the space in Notes or in the Feats/Abilities. Remember you have 7 level 1 Spells to have on your list, for switching in and out... THAT ALL I need from you...
If you want to expand on it later, just knowing your familiar's skills and saving rolls...

Its NOT that hard to do this...

[GiglameshDespair]

Corrections should be done, i think.
