The Witcher

Andrew Walker
About this episode

Today Pat and Andrew review their first new homebrew class, the Witcher. They discuss the design philosophy of classes in 5th edition and ask how specific a class can be before it needs to be a subclass? After that they talk about the archetypal features of the Witcher class, including the Focus mechanic, a unique way to increase the Witcher's combat versatility. 

The Witcher version 2.0 by johnofbohemia can be found here:

and on their reddit at u/johnofbohemia

Intro and outro music is Lord of the Land by Kevin MacLeod from Incompetech.
