A witch is a man or woman who draws his or her powers from and confers with an evil, supernatural force. Witches are feared and powerful practitioners of magic renowned for their dark secrets, illicit unions and associations with supernatural monsters. They are generally foul, evil, vengeful beings with little regard for others. This means a player character will have to be evil and allied to serve a monstrous supernatural being. A witch who has forsaken his/her master is powerless (looses all witch powers) and likely to be the target of a vengeful demonic lord...
The requirements of becoming a witch are simply to serve one's dark master faithfully, to the letter of the pact. Thus anyone can become a witch despite physical or mental deficiencies. In fact it is mostly the individual that has been mocked or disgraced because of physical deformity that takes on the pact of the dark master.
Weapons: a small silver dagger, a normal knife, and two additional weapons of choice. All are basic weapons and of good quality. Magic weapons are mostly used later as the character grows. Favorite weapons to be thrown are, knives, swords, axes, staves and cross bows.
