Class Features: Witcher Training, Monster Lore, Meditation, Mutant Physiology , Witcher Alchemy
Witchers are wandering professional monster slayers who have endured years of relentless training and passed through hellish secret trials that change their very physiology. Through voluntary exposure to mutagenic alchemical compounds, witchers-in-training are granted inhuman speed and reflexes, an altered
metabolism, and the golden irises and vertical pupils characteristic of all witchers. That is, if they survive the process…
As a witcher, you can draw upon the knowledge collected and compiled by scholars and witchers alike on the habits, tactics, and weaknesses of all manner of beasts both magical and mundane to track, exploit, and slay those that endanger the lives of innocents.
Complimenting your weapons training, your knowledge allows you to create powerful potions that only your mutant metabolism can processes, as well as an array of bombs and blade coatings for nearly any situation. Your training allows you to call upon simple combat magics known as Witcher Signs to catch foes off-guard turn the battle to your favor.
Because of their appearance, altered by mutant characteristics and disfigured by scars from dangerous beasts, and their profession, witchers are normally met with fear, if not outright hostility from those that they protect. Nonetheless, they continue to provide their expertise to those in need… For a price, of course.
Creating A Witcher
Witchers rely on Strength for both their melee attacks and Signs. Depending on the build,
Dexterity or Intelligence makes a solid secondary attribute. Wisdom is a useful tertiary to both builds, as it increases a Witcher’s willpower defense, increases perception, and supports Monster Lore checks with Nature and Dungeoneering.
Slayer Witcher
Witchers who follow this path are adept at taking down single creatures in melee, relying on swordplay and using their Signs defensively or to gain an advantage over their chosen enemy.
Dexterity as a close second, both to improve your AC and to strengthen your melee attacks, as well as use ranged weapons such as throwing knives.
Suggested Feat: The Deadliest Game (Human feat: Action Surge)
Suggested Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Endurance, Stealth, Nature
Suggested At-Will Powers: Viper’s Strike, Rivian Feint
Suggested Encounter Power: Aard Sign Suggested Witcher Alchemy Recipes: Crinfrid Oil, Devil’s Puffball
Learned Witcher
Learned witchers have spent countless hours refining their alchemical skills and empowering their Signs. While still able to hold their own in melee, experience have taught these witchers to plan ahead, set traps, and position the weakened prey exactly where they want it, before dealing the final blow. As a learned witcher, make Strength your highest ability score and
Intelligence your second to improve your AC and boost the effectiveness of your Signs.
Suggested Feat: Learned Preparation (Human Feat: Monster Knowledge)
Suggested Skills: Athletics, Endurance, History, Religion, Dungeoneering
Suggested At-Will Powers: Group Style, Expose Weakness
Suggested Encounter Power: Yrden Sign Suggested Witcher Alchemy Recipes: Spectre Oil, Zerrikanian Sun
Class Features
Witcher Training
Traditionally, witchers carry two swords, a two-handed steel broadsword for fighting humans and mundane creatures, and a silver longsword for fighting monsters. Some schools have broken from this tradition, embracing different
weaponry, but the core tradition remains the same:
While wielding a non-silvered weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against
humanoids and beasts with the Natural keyword. While wielding a silvered weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against humanoids and
In addition, choose one of the following schools of training and gain its benefit.
School of the Viper: Gain the Quickdraw feat as a bonus feat. You gain a bonus to Monster Lore damage equal to your Dexterity modifier.
School of the Owl: Gain the Alchemist feat as a bonus feat, even if you do not meet the
prerequisites. Your Witcher Signs gain additional benefits tailored to each sign.
Monster Lore
You gain a +5 bonus to Monster Knowledge checks with untrained knowledge skills.
Once per encounter as a free action, you pick a target creature and attempt a Monster
Knowledge check. If you succeed well enough to learn its powers (not just identify it), you deal extra damage to that type of creature for the rest of the encounter. The extra damage is based on your level. If you can make multiple attacks in a round, you decide which attack to apply the extra damage to after all the attacks are rolled.
If you fail, you may try again after you drop the creature to 0 hit points, gaining insight from its defeat. Once all creatures of the same type have been defeated, you regain the use of this ability and may select a new target.
Level Monster Lore Extra Damage
1st-10th +1d8
11th-20th +2d8
21st-30th +3d8
MEditation
Rather than sleep, you may enter a state of meditation. In this state, you remain aware of your surroundings, and you require only 4 hours of meditation to gain the benefits of an extended rest. While meditating you may create both Witcher Alchemy items and normal Alchemy items, but any other action cancels the meditation.
Mutant Physiology
You gain a +1 bonus to AC while wearing light or no armor and have low-light vision.
Implement
Witchers traditionally use trophies taken from slain monsters as Ki Focuses for their attacks. A witcher can add the enhancement bonus of a Ki Focus to melee attacks with weapons, but doing so replaces the enhancement bonus and any magical properties of the weapon for the attack.
Witcher Alchemy
All witchers are trained in alchemy recipes usable only by other witchers. Because of their mutant metabolisms, only witchers can safely handle the ingredients for the bombs and oils they create. Likewise, normal individuals would find witcher potions to be toxic rather than beneficial.
Witcher poisons, bombs, and potions are equivalent to the Daily Powers of other classes, in that the items created expire after each extended rest if not used and only a certain number of items may be prepared during an extended rest. A poisoner’s kit is required to make the items.
A witcher may learn additional recipes of his level or lower and may pick from those when preparing items during an extended rest.

Starting at 6th level, you may choose 2 Witcher Potion recipes of your level or lower instead of picking a utility power but prepare only one per day. Duplicates of the same type of potion may not be prepared as they would be toxic, even to a witcher, if consumed within the same day.
