I do not have official guidelines or anything, but typically they want you to have at least one solid stat in common with the class you want to multiclass into. So you are right, wisdom makes a lot of sense as that is the spellcasting mod. You would probably do just fine with that combo, and you're right it would probably be a lot of fun!

Hey everyone! Any tips on multi-classing into witch? I have a level 3 beast master ranger and I think it would make a good combination (or at least a fun one!). Unless I missed it, I didn't see any info on requirements for multiclassing into witch - I'd assume the ranger requirements work for this though, as Wisdom is an important class for them too

I've been DM'ing a new game where one of my players is a Witch, and it's been really fun! I'm also about to play a shorter campaign as a Witch, which I'm very excited about. One feedback note I'd like to share would be regarding the Curse Spells list. I was a bit confused on how that list worked mechanically. I think maybe using a different label for that Curse Spells list would help a lot. There are a lot of things labeled as curses and lots of different cursing mechanics (which I adore), so it gets a bit difficult to differentiate the different kinds of curses. I only found a handful of effects related to the Curse Spells list after coming through the text. I think more opportunities to utilize the Curse Spells and make them more prevalent would be great and could lessen some confusion around their mechanics. Thanks for the time and care put into the class and subclasses! They are quite wonderful tools to have.

They're doing a lot more licensed content, but so far they haven't done playtests for licensed content. Though, when WBN reaches a point where they're ready to consider jumping on the ddb platform, +1 in support.

This would be the easiest method, as they have the right chassis, but a lot of it is still gonna be clunky. Custom classes were on their list for a long time, but when the original team lead left w/ a lot of the team, the roadmap changed a lot. Biggest hang up is that you have to build in the subclass choices and all the other bits overtop of the Druid stuff, and even then you can't actually hide the Druid stuff on the sheet, so it takes some extra discipline to focus past it.

Well, hellooo! It seems I can't DM you on Patreon. Harrumph. Are you a Fireside member? Or did you pay for the class a la carte? I just realized that I said that on a public post, so I don't want to post the tooltips for all to see wihout supporting WBN. :)

Hello it is me hollering :)

Hey, peeps! I've never made a custom class on Dndb before. If anyone made it, would you be cool sharing it? If not, anyone know how to do this? I've decided to create a custom subclass for Cleric and change Everything that I can. But I'm hitting roadblocks that I'm not sure how to get past. 😅

Bradlee

Does anyone happen to have a sheet made for a claw coven witch?

GREEDYLAND07

I did remember it was still not enough 😭

It was pretty awesome! My DM has allowed me to be able to cast Call to the Hunter on my familiar with the tradeoff being I can't use the other familiar abilities while it's active. Between that and Curse of the Grasping Green we were able to do some nice damage/healing combos for the party!

Aviva

PS She’s Coven of the Green with a blend of both play tests. YMMV.

Just throwing this out there. I play my witch on Roll20’s 5e [2014 style] character sheet. If anybody wants features/traits listed with hover-over tooltips, holler. They’ll mostly work for the 2024 sheet* too, but I’ve found it’s still too buggy to use for a custom class. sadface I found I was taking up a ton of chat real estate linking all of her new abilities. The tooltips condense things down to a category with a broad description and bullet points for subsections. It’s an imperfect and wonky workaround but hey. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ *The tooltips themselves work, but in some places I used attribute calls to fill in “[proficiency bonus] times per long rest” or similar. Those will be busted for sure.

Aviva

How’d it go?!

Aviva

The word on the streets on the interwebs is that you can enter a custom subclass but you’re SOL for a custom class. Somebody somewhere tried to set up a witch as a Druid. Sounds like a pain in the ass, and I don’t know how it went but the Googs could surely find it for you.

Aviva

Don’t forget it doesn’t cost an action to expend a spell slot to save ur bb! That mimic is a dick. 😩

Michael Wallbank

Any plans to update for the 2024 rules?

clafford

Abjuration wizard went full class change to be a witch, and I'm not looking back!

Shannon

prayers up for ur familiar

GREEDYLAND07

Currently playing a witch, started with the older version and now we're back to playing again and this time I'm trying to implement the changes. Currently level 6 and just got my familiar dropped by a mimic. Crying.

Dream Wizard Kyle Arca

Shit, I didn't even see your comment before I made mine about dndb. 🤣 Solidarity for the digital minds! 😛

Dream Wizard Kyle Arca

Edit: The closest I can get is making a custom subclass. I tried it out, but it was incredibly clunky. Not worth the time. 😔 Is there a way to play it on DNDB? I find using that is way easier for me.

Toe

I submitted a feedback form a while back but wanted to note a quick but handy improvement would be having page numbers on the PDFs for those of us printing out our materials (and frantically trying to choose new secrets in a level up before the big boss battle)!

Aidan Kruse

Loving the vibes of both, gonna try and play a witch soon!!!

Micah

Going to be having my first big combat with my witch boy tonight, very excited to try out all the cool coven of the green things since we started at level 5!
