Class: The Merwitch (PBtA)
This playbook with wonderful cover art done by Nick Ladd is a new class for the RPG Dungeon World. The Merwitch is a spellcasting merfolk who has an arsenal of water-related spells and the ability to turn ordinary water into bewitches concoctions. You can choose between four types of merfolk: traditional¸ shark¸ angler¸ and eel.
The Merwitch casts spells¸ but has an unusual spell level progression of Routes¸ 1st Level spells¸ and 6th Level spells. They start knowing all seven of their Routes¸ and choosing spells similar to a cleric. While the Merwitch's spells are mostly water themed (excellent for aquatic campaigns)¸ they also have a few that will serve them just as well on land. To complement the partial ability to cast spells¸ the Merwitch can use Bewitch Water to turn vials of water into powerful potions. These bewitched waters possess powers from taking life¸ to melting armor¸ to healing wounds¸ to making others fall in love.
