I am, without a doubt, a huge fan of the witches for Dragon Magazine. I have spent hours reading and rereading those articles. I have many witch characters I have made using those rules and spent many, many more hours playing them. So if you say that your class is based on those, you have my attention.

The Witch Class from David Belmonte is a 10 (1 cover, 1 title, 1-page addendum, 7 pages content) page PDF that is Free on DMSGuild. So the price point is already good. It also presents a full witch class.

The pdf is sparce really. There is no art save for the cover art and the artist is not credited.

The witch in this case is a Wisdom spellcaster. (They were Intelligence and Wisdom in Dragon #20).

The powers this witch gets are in line with the witch from Dragon #20. Though the witch in Dragon got a lot more powers, this witch is a little more inline with the D&D 5 rules. There are no subclasses listed even if the obvious choice would have been High and Low Order witches with some different powers.

There are 8 new spells. One of the Spells "Oracle" only works "in obscure woods" whatever that is supposed to mean.

So nice effort, but it falls a little short for me. Though it is tough to argue the price I guess.

A well put together guide for players looking for a different type of character. It's a great resource to add another option for players or DMs looking to build an interesting NPC without simply cloning something from the MM.
