The Witcher

Witcher Class | For 5e

 Witcher
A man in dark leather armor pulls a handbomb from his pack
as he finally locates the werewolf he has been tracking in the
night. His cat-like eyes glow in the moonlight, allowing him to
see the creature clearly. Throwing the Moondust bomb at the
creature's feet, he draws his twin shortswords and charges in
at the man ahead, now unable to shapeshift into his bestial
form.
Dancing backward from an oncoming pack of ghouls, a
nimble halfling quickly consumes a potion from his belt,
granting a surge of magical strength. A moment later an
empowered blast of Igni erupts from his palm, washing over
the ghouls and burning them to cinder. His blade will make
quick work of any who remain standing.
Swiftly moving her fingers to form the appropriate sign, a
half-elf slams a Yrden trap on the ground at her feet, forcing
the attacking wraith into a corporeal form. She draws her
blade, closing in for the kill.
Using different approaches, all of these are monster
hunters in their own right. Trained in swordplay, magic,
alchemy, and crafting, Witchers hunt monsters that make
ordinary men flee in terror.
Monster Hunters for Hire
Witchers dedicate their lives to hunting monsters, studying
their strengths and weaknesses in order to effectively kill
them. While Witchers may discover monsters in the wild, the
bulk of their work is spent dealing with threats closer to
civilization, where people will pay to be rid of the threats.
These jobs how Witcher's earn a living, and they frequently
move from town to town and city to city, seeking out new
contracts.
It is a life filled with constant danger from the various
beasts and monsters in the wilds. Though they train hard and
prepare extensively for their fights, not many survive to reach
old age.

Mistrusted Nomads
Many humans who become Witchers undergo the Trial of the
Grasses, a series of mutations designed to help these hunters
become the apex predators necessary to hunt the creatures
they do. It is perhaps these mutations that lead many
commoners to be distrustful of them, due to the physical
changes the mutations bring, such as cat-like eyes.
Another possible reason for their mistrust of Witchers is
the general view that the Witchers are greedy vagabonds,
preying on the weak and needy to hand over their valuables
to deal with their problem. Whenever they do hire a Witcher,
it is often as means of last resort, which sometimes results in
a far more dire situation the Witcher now faces.
Some Witchers will work alone to track and fell their
quarry, but a number of Witchers will work together or within
a party of traveling adventurers in order to more safely face
the myriad of dangers in the world, despite having to share
the contract's pay.
Creating a Witcher
As you create your Witcher character, consider the nature of
your training. Were you given up to a Witcher school for
training by a family who couldn't afford to feed you? Did you
turn to the Witcher profession out of desperation when you
were exiled? Or perhaps you were yourself saved by a
Witcher, and as a result find yourself drawn to do the same
for others?
What is your attitude toward the commoners who mistrust
you? Do you have weary patience for their ignorance, or do
you find yourself frequently on edge, ready to snap at the next
person who claims you're just as much a monster as the ones
you're hired to slay?
Consult with your DM about how best to incorporate
Witchers into your world.

 Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
studded leather armor
(a) one martial weapon or (b) two weapons with the light
property
one silvered martial weapon
light crossbow and 20 bolts
Alchemist's Supplies
Witcher School Medallion
Witcher's Bestiary
Witcher's Bestiary
The Witcher's Bestiary is where a Witcher records the
strengths and weaknesses of numerous monsters. Through
countless hours of studying your bestiary, you have a chance
to recall information you have learned of a non-humanoid
creature you are facing when beginning combat.
When you roll Initiative, you can choose to make an
Intelligence-based skill check as determined by the DM to
recall helpful information about one creature you can see.
You must succeed against a DC set by your DM (in most
cases a value of 15 may be appropriate). If you do so, then you
gain advantage on attack rolls made as part of the first attack
action or cast a spell action you make against that creature or
another of the same creature type. Alternatively, you can
impose disadvantage on the first saving throw that creature
or another of the same creature type makes against one of
your spells or abilities. If you do not use this benefit within 1
minute, it is lost. You can use this feature twice, and you
regain all expended uses after a long rest.
Witcher School
At 1st level, you choose a school of training that best
represents your style of monster hunting. Your Witcher
school grants you features at 1st level and again at 5th, 10th,
14th, and 18th levels.
Witcher Spellcasting
At 2nd level, you have learned a rudimentary form of magic,
allowing you to quickly produce magical effects through
weaving hand signs. Casting a Witcher spell requires one
hand free in order to create the somatic components.
Spell Slots
The Witcher table shows how many spell slots you have to
cast your Witcher spells. To cast one of these Witcher spells⁠,
you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You can
learn additional Witcher spells of your choice at higher levels,
as shown in the Witcher table. You regain all expended sp⁠ell
slots when you finish a Long Rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Aard and have
a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast
Aard⁠using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Witcher
spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Witcher table shows
when you learn more Witcher spells of your choice. Each of
the spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For instance, when you reach 6th level in this class, you can
learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the Witcher spells you know and replace it
with another spell from the Witcher Spell list, which also
must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your witcher spells,
since the power of your spellcasting came through rigorous
study and practice. You use your Intelligence whenever a
spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use
your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC
for a Witcher spell you cast and when making an attack roll
with one.
Saving throws. Some spells require a saving throw to
resist its effect. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Spell Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Spell Attack Modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Intelligence modifier
Fighting Style
Also at 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as
your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't
take the same fighting style option more than once. Choose
an additional fighting style at 6th level.
Arbalest
You ignore the loading quality of crossbows and you have a
+1 bonus to attack rolls on ranged attacks.
Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged
weapons.

Contested Ranged Fighting
When making a ranged attack while you are within 5 feet of a
hostile creature, you do not have disadvantage on the attack
roll. You have a +1 bonus to attack rolls on ranged attacks.
Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no
other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you
make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two
hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even
if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-
handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
Protection
When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you
that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to
impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding
a shield⁠.
Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your
ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Versatile Fighting
When wielding a versatile weapon with two hands you gain a
+2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon. When wielding a
versatile weapon with one hand you gain a +1 bonus to attack
rolls with that weapon.
Witcher Preparation
The key to a Witcher's success is often found in their
preparation, both through alchemy as well as crafting. Among
their tools, Witchers are known to utilize specialized potions
and handbombs in their fights with monsters.
This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not approved/endorsed by Wizards. Portions of the materials used
are property of Wizards of the Coast. ©Wizards of the Coast LLC.
Starting at 3rd level you gain the Witcher Preparation
feature. With this feature you prepare a number of various
potions and handbombs from the formulas and schematics
you know, which you can then use a number of times equal to
your proficiency modifier. Consuming a potion or using a
handbomb equals one use of Witcher Preparation.
You gain access to stronger tiers of potions and
handbombs as you gain new Witcher levels. The Greater tier
is available at Witcher level 7, the Superior tier is available at
Witcher level 11, and the Master tier is available at Witcher
level 15.
To regain spent uses of this feature you must have
alchemist's supplies on your person as well as devote 1 hour
during your long rest to preparation.
Saving throws. Some Witcher Preparation items require a
saving throw to resist its effect. The saving throws use the
Spell Save DC.
Potions
At 3rd level, you can prepare a number of potion formulas,
listed under "Alchemy". You gain the ability to prepare
additional potions as you gain Witcher levels, as shown in the
Potions Prepared column of the Witcher table. Your ability to
brew stronger versions of your potions will increase at 7th,
11th, and 15th levels.
A single potion's effect does not stack with itself during its
active duration; if the same potion is used prior to the effects
of the first potion wearing off, the effects of the first dissipate
and are replaced with the effects of the second.
A Witcher's potions are highly toxic, and only a Witcher
can withstand the toxins due to their conditioning and
training. A non-witcher that drinks a Witcher potion must
succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell
save DC or become poisoned for 1 minute. Even if they
succeed, they take poison damage determined by the tier of
the potion consumed, and do not get any of the benefits of the
potion.
Ingesting a Witcher potion requires your choice of an
action or a bonus action.
Handbombs
Potions aren't a Witcher's only form of preparation in hunting
monsters. They can also prepare handbombs to tip the scales
in their favor, listed under "Alchemy". Witchers are able to
prepare schematics for crafting 2 handbombs of their choice
at level 3. You can prepare an additional schematic as well as
improvements to the handbombs at 7th, 11th, and 15th
levels, as shown in the Handbombs Prepared column of the
Witcher table.
Using a handbomb requires an action.
Blade Oil
Starting at 3rd level, you can apply Blade Oil as a bonus
action to a weapon or ammunition. Once per turn when you
deal damage with a weapon attack with this weapon or
ammunition, you can choose one weapon damage die and
reroll it, taking the better result. The effects of the oil last for
one minute, and you can use this feature twice per long rest.
At 6th level, you improve your blade oil to additionally
prevent a creature's health from regenerating for one turn.
Witcher Class | High Lord Amaram

 Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20
using this feature. Alternatively, you can choose a feat.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Monsters Are My Trade
Also at 5th level, you have improved your ability to earn
greater compensation in your craft. You gain advantage on all
Charisma-based skill checks related to haggling the price of
commissions or rewards from hunting monsters.
Honed Edge
Starting at 11th level, you have improved your ability to
maintain your weapons to such a degree that your damage
dealt is notably stronger. Your weapon attacks now deal an

Master Witcher
At level 20 you have achieved the rank of Master Witcher. You
can choose one from the following abilities to adopt as part of
your Witcher combat style:
Combat Spell Master: When you kill an enemy by casting
a spell with a spell slot of 2nd Level or higher, you regain 1
expended spell slot up to 1 level below the level of the spell
cast for each creature killed. The enemy killed must have a
Challenge Rating equal to half your Witcher level or greater
for this effect to be granted.
For example, if you cast a level 4 spell and kill a single
creature with a CR equal to half your Witcher level or greater,
you can regain an expended 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level spell slot. If
you kill multiple creatures in this way, you can regain an
expended spell slot for each creature killed.
Deadly Onslaught: Once per turn, when you take the
Attack action or use a bonus action to attack on your turn,
you make one additional weapon attack as part of that action.
You also expand your critical hit range by 1 for all weapon
attacks, stacking with any other bonuses you may already
possess.
Swarmslayer: You thrive when attacked by a multitude of
foes, gaining the following benefits:
You negate advantage normally given by creatures with
the Pack Tactics feature.
When you have three or more enemies within 10 feet of
you, you gain a +3 bonus to AC and damage rolls.
School of the Bear
School of the Bear Witchers are typically the hardiest of the
Witchers. They do not attempt to avoid enemy attacks,
instead forcing their enemies to get close where they can rain
down deadly blows. Their training is typically focused on
maintaining survivability in a fight, trusting that the enemy
will be the first to fall.
Heavy Gear Training
When you choose this school at 1st level, you gain the
following features:
Proficiency in medium and heavy armor
You can replace your Proficiency in Intelligence saving
throws with Proficiency in Strength saving throws if you

from your training, earning you a +2 bonus to your
health for each Witcher level.
Stand Your Ground
Additionally at 1st level, you can leverage an established

1d4 bonus to damage rolls. Moving from your established
position in any way interrupts this feature. Starting at 10th
level, the damage bonus increases to 1d6.
Implacable
At 6th level, you have boundless determination to keep going
in a fight. As a bonus action on your turn, you can recover hit
points equal to 1d10 + your Constitution modifier + your
Witcher level.
Once you use this feature you must finish a short or long
rest before you can use it again. Starting at 14th level, you
can use it twice before a rest, but only once per turn.
Deadly Counter
Starting at 10th level, when you take damage from a creature
that you can see, you give yourself advantage on the first
attack roll on your next turn against that creature.
Innate Regeneration
At 14th level, you gain innate regenerative powers. At the
start of each of your turns, if you are below half your
maximum hit points, you regain hit points equal to your
Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). You don't gain this
benefit if you have 0 hit points or are Petrified or
Unconscious.
Primal Beast
At 18th level, you increase either your Strength or
Constitution score by 4. Your maximum for this score is now
24.

School of the Cat Witchers focus their training on nimble or
ranged fighting to deal damage even as they avoid taking it.
Witchers from the School of the Cat are frequently seen
wielding ranged weapons more prevalently than other
witchers, and they tend to have a reputation for being
emotionally distant and cold.

Prey.
This effect lasts up to 8 hours, even if the target moves out
of range. You may establish a new Prey only if the target is
killed or subdued, or if you do not have any established Prey
still active.
School of the Griffin
School of the Griffin Witchers spend most of their time
studying their spellcraft. While they don't shirk their martial
skills, they are most deadly when wielding magic. They spend
much of their time studying magic in the company of learned
scholars and nobles seeking tutelage, which often allows
them to more easily earn the favor of those in the upper class.

interacting with a member of upper society.
Alternative Witcher Spells

for the spells you know. For example, if you already know the
spell Igni, you automatically learn the spell Firestream as
well. If you know the spell Heliotrope, you will automatically
learn the spell Guardian once you reach the level at which
you can learn the spell. These alternative spells do not count
against the number of spells you know. Reference the
Witcher Spells list for more information.

School of the Viper
School of the Viper Witchers are treated warily, as they are

 Human Race Variant:
Trial of the Grasses
The Trial of the Grasses is a variant Human transformed
through various testings and mutagens painful enough to
border on torture.
Consult your DM on how best to implement this variant
within the setting of your world.
Painful Mutations
As a method of preparing yourself to face monstrous foes,
you have subjected yourself to the Trial of the Grasses, a
brutal transformation process using chemicals and elixirs
that has only a 30% survival rate. Consequently, your body
mutates, giving you numerous benefits, as well as physical
mutations that clearly set you apart from others.
Trial of the Grasses Traits
Your character has a number of traits in common with others
who have underwent the Trial of the Grasses.
Ability Score Increase. You have a +2 bonus to
Constitution and a +1 bonus to a different ability score of
your choice.
Age. The mutations extend your life span causing you to
begin aging at a quarter of your normal rate, beginning at the
age you underwent the Trials.
Alignment. Humans do not lean toward any particular
alignment, though the Trial tends to emphasize the character
traits of a person, meaning if they lean towards one
alignment, they become more firmly rooted within it, and are
less prone to act in a manner contrary to that alignment.
Size. Humans vary widely in height and build, from barely
5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your position
within that range, your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 35 feet.
Darkvision. Your eyes now take on the appearance of a
cat's, with slitted pupils that glow in the dark (The most
common eye color is golden, though the mutations may result
in varying colors). You gain darkvision out to a range of 60
feet.

Improved Vigor. You do not need to sleep any more in order
to rest. Instead, you meditate deeply, remaining
semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. While meditating you gain
the same benefit other humans do from 8 hours of sleep.
Improved Constitution. You have advantage on saving
throws against poison, and against being poisoned or
diseased.
Physical Mutations. Your body develops a random
number of weird quirks, such as pigmentless hair, skin, etc.
Discuss these abnormalities with your DM. You can use the
table below as a guide. Whatever you choose or roll, the
mutations your body underwent leave it apparent that you are
different from other humans.
Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
one extra language of your choice. Humans typically learn the
languages of other people they deal with, including obscure
dialects. They are fond of sprinkling their speech with words
borrowed from other tongues: Orc curses, Elvish muscial
expressions, Dwarvish military phrases, and so on.
d6 Physical Mutations
1 Your hair loses all pigment, turning white.
You are missing patches of hair or develop new
2 patches of hair in abnormal locations, or lose at least
one fingernail or toenail.
3
Your core temperature permanently drops and your
skin pales.

4
difficult for you to have strong emotional reactions.
5
Your reproductive system has been damaged, leaving
you infertile.
6
All the hair follicles in your body are dead, causing you
to lose all hair.
Version Log
1/6/2023 - v2.0.1

to occur on a subsequent attack during the same turn if

Changed Quen from a 2nd-level spell to a 1st-level spell.

feature to improve the damage to 1d6 at 10th level.

damage values, spell levels, etc.
