One thing that NoNat missed about the Spirit Familiar and Stitched Familiar feats are that the special actions they give access to are specifically taken by the Familiar. This means the Witch only has to spent 1 action on "Command a Familiar" to give their Familiar 2 actions, which the familiar then uses. Which makes them even better, IMO.
FACTS. These feats are incredible.
I find it funny coz you got it right on your preview Remaster several weeks again.
Silly ole NoNat! (With love)

This is @NoNat1s way of increasing comments.
@NoNat1s is a pretty sly TH-cam strategist.
Oh yea he totally revealed his hand on twitter like a week ago@@CooperativeWaffles
Guess this confirms it. Miss Frizzle from the magic school bus is a 20th level witch, with a Witches Hut in the form of a school bus.
Born too late to see pyramids being built
Born too early to explore space
Born just in time to see Nonat having to remaster the deep dives
A point about Conceal Spell: There is nothing in the description of Fireball that says it is flung from your hand. According to the spell description "A roaring blast of flame APPEARS at a spot you designate, dealing 6d6 fire damage." There is no indication that it streaks FROM you to that spot, just that it manifests there. The idea that it streaks to its explosion point is a holdover from PF1. This point would have been better using Holy Light (formerly Searing Light), Scorching Ray, or any other ray type spell.
This, so much.
So proud of NoNat, he did so much better with introducing the Wilding Steward patron than he did with the Wild patron in the original witch video
For Wilding Word, if an enemy persistent damages you, does that mean they continue to get Sickened until you save?
@@toodleselnoodos6738I think so. I'd count that as it damaging you.
Minor correction to Wilding Steward:
Imprecise senses allow you to determine the space a creature is in, they simply remain hidden within that space. This is significantly better than "hey, my familiar can sense something is within 60 feet of us!" because it lets you drop fireballs on them with no penalty.
Ive always assumed based on its flavor between 2e and 5e that fireball doesnt come out of the caster but rather they just cause the area to suddenly be engulfed in flame in a big swoooosh of fire
I personally let that be up to the player :)
I had a player where their fireball was a swarm of Golden Butterflies manifesting in the target area
My favourite way to dwacrrive 5e fireball (due to the specified material component of bat guano and sulfur) is a marble sized ball of mixed sulfur and guano that shoots from my hand and gets suspended in the centre point of fireball, only to turn into a miniature sun. The fire damage is just scorching radiant heat.
"They are most comfortable without wearing anything"
Cue youtube immediatly launching into an add featuring a Charmin bear sitting on the toilet.
At around 20 minute minor correction: Nudge Fate isn't sustained. It just *lasts* 1 minute or until it triggers.
Seeing how Iron Teeth don't have an unarmed trait, means they're not immune to being disarmed. Hilariously it might also require a free hand. It's definitely a typo, but I can't hep but imagine a witch with a set of metallic dentures in her hand.
Wb fang daddy (i promise to never say that again). So happy to see you doing the Witch first. It's my fav class!
One thing of note regarding Ceremonial Knife: the feat does not define a time limit for the knife/Wand. It also does not set a limit for the number of wands one witch can create or possess. Other similar feats set limits on either the number you can have of a free thing or set limits on the amount of time they last (see cauldron). The feat as written let's you horde as many wands as you want.
Edit: this is clearly not intended. And I'm not sure why it didn't get hit in the first round of errata.
Very Good.
With the Remaster we have another YEARS of Class Guide Remaster before us.
Let's make the Bet, until Wizard Remaster Class Guide will be Released. I say 2 Years ? maybe 4. :-D
Love Ya Nonat1s ^^
I appreciate this breakdown, it gave me a lot to think about for my first character in Pf2e! I'm currently workshopping a Witch who is a Poppet (A Little Witch) with the Inscribed One Patron (The Biggest Witch, as she calls it in hushed tones). She's on a quest to find her creator (The Big Witch) to return her Big Hat after waking up in her old Witch's burned Hut. Her familiar is a slightly smaller Poppet (The Littlest Witch) with a smaller hat. It's Dolls all the way down.
Witch was my favorite class before but always felt lacking. So glad for this update that it can finally stand on it's own instead of being a lesser sorcerer or wizard.
I'm super glad that laizo continues to modify and adjust the game content as time goes on. It's great, thanks for the video!
One of my players is a witch and after a short break from campaign (which turned into a long break because … life, job, players completely derailing my ability to plan a story, etc) I’m letting them rebuild their characters with new rules (or just tweak them if they like old ones) for new game and this is so helpful to hear good ideas for those of my players who want advice!!! We’re going to sit down in the near future and rebuild her (probably) Resentment Witch, which is funny cos she’s the sweetest PC casting teeth to terror on the evil NPCs and utterly freaking everyone out but then hands them a cuppa and is everyone’s emotional support. 😂
1 houre episode with my favourite PF2e youtuber. I get the chips. Cheers guys.
They better be cool ranch or pringles!!!
@@Nonat1s So far I haven't seen cool ranch chips here in Germany. Pringles would be a valid option but I think I will go with Lorenz seasalt & pepper chips. ;)
I really want to play a Starless Shadow Witch who talked normally before becoming a Witch but now has a voice like Christian Bale Batman.
Grabs Alchemist Dedication: ¿Dónde los drugos?
"When you pick a Tradition you are stuck with it."
AP specific, so probably hard to pull off in other games, but the rewards and special mechanics of Strength of 1000s Adventure Path allows you to gain access to all four Traditions of magic as a witch starting with the Primal Tradition. (That isn't a spoiler. The rules are discussed in the players guide for the AP) It is pretty awesome to have access to theoretically every spell in the game. (Side note: Occult and Divine cap out at level 5 by the end. So ALMOST every spell. )
10:03 I noticed you said it goes up by 1 per spell rank but it goes up by 2 per spell rank. Not sure how much better 23 resistance is compared to 14 but it’s something to note :)
It’s 9 better. (Sorry!)
I remember in the TV show the librarians, there where haunted houses that frequently teleported. I just see it with the hut. In haste, they commanded it to teleport, but they died very shortly after. Once in a while, the hut just teleport in a random place across the planes.
Now the fun is if the player found the hut and slept in thinking it was safe, and it just happened it was that night where the hut was due to teleport again.
Or imagine a witch that was bound and determined to destroy all dragons and they commanded the Hut to automatically go after dragons whenever they appeared. But then the witch bit off a bit more than they could chew and now the Hut is just randomly moving after dragons all the time LOL
might be interesting to make a witch with the fighter archetype so that they can use their polearm as their witch's broom
That magic baba yaga hut feat though... Am I the only one who heard you describe that "party adopts it" idea and thought of the old "you run into a wild gazebo... OMG A GAZEBO, I ATTACK IT!" DnD joke? 😂😂
I thought of werehouse.
23:20 Imprecise does mean knowing the square. You're thinking of vague senses
Nudge Fate is actually a lot better, because it’s not a sustain spell anymore. It’s just a one minute duration.
19:17 it doesn't say sustain, just duration 1 minute. Idk if it's a typo
The excitement about getting the garbage out just in time was the most relatable thing I've ever seen on TH-cam. lol
I think you misread the 8th level familiar feats. It says your familiar gains the activity. Which means you can spend 1 action to give your familiar the required 2 actions to do the thing.
YES! More nonat is always good. Love your content, love your format. Keep doing your nerdy amazing thing.
These class guides are my favorite videos. They help, and they are incredibly great on breaking down all the facts
Worth noting that the Resentment's Familiar Ability says "prolonging any negative conditions with a timed duration". It does not specify you have to choose one. In fact, it uses the plural where the singular would've been used to indicate as such. Therefore if something is Sickened, Frightened, and Enfeebled, it would increase the duration of them all by 1 round. Yes, I do expect some sort of errata on that, because that's bonkers as hell.
Wilding Steward's Familiar Ability is better than you say!
An Imprecise sense can detect up to Hidden, which pinpoints squares. Therefore, the Familiar Ability is essentially *an automatic foil to conventional Stealth* and a big help against invisibility, as long as enemies are on the ground/in water.
So much inspiration for this class. I have like 100 more ideas for it. Really appreciate the deep dive for the witch.
Great video!
To answer your question at the end, I am actually making a Witch to play this Friday! A 5e character that was transferred and the timing worked just right to make it happen close to the remaster coming out
I think new witch is fantastic and a pretty good improvement but where I disagree is that honestly…I liked old witch already? I never agreed that it was lacking. In my group it was always seen as the better wizard because it got more fun ideas for subclasses while letting you choose traditions and having better feats (I am not a fan of the wizard feats, this did not change in the remaster). But still, even with all that, I still consider the new witch to be a complete home run, I’m glad the class is getting loved now
Another way of using the level 12 feat 'coven spell' is combining it with the conceal spell, help your ally casters getting some sneaky spells off in different encounters.
19:17 If I am reading right, I dont think you actually need to sustain the spell, it just lasts for 1 minute (or until triggered obviously)
"[...] in all of our hands." *Cries in subscription just shipped yesterday.*
Spirit and Stitched Familiar are better than you thinking.
The Familiar gains the action, not you. That means when you command your Familiar, it can take the action. So it only actually only costs you a single action to command. Also, for Spirit Familiar you are considered its ally, so it can heal you and not just another party member.
I am specifically giving you a thumbs-up on this video because of your success with the garbage truck. That's a great feeling.
"You're lookin' great by the way."
Why, thank you! Just got a new beard trimmer in, and have gone back to maintaining a goatee. It's amazing how much well-groomed facial hair can improve your self-image!
Looking at Malicious Shadow, it's a good way to be able to make strikes at a distance with your spellcasting modifiers. In fact, it seems like it might be great for assassinations, because there is no save, and you don't have to keep line of sight or line of effect once it is cast. You can just drop it on an enemy, and unless they can get to a place with the right lighting conditions, they can't escape or retaliate directly. I don't know how common complete darkness or light are, so I could be underestimating how much that would affect this, but the victim of the spell probably won't know how to stop it. Plus, I don't know about you, but I would panic if my shadow turning into hands and tried to strangle me, at least for a moment.
Dude! You really need to rehang that dagger on wall so it's horizontal. You'd look so much better with a blade through your head, instead of a handle out of the top of your head. ;)
I really enjoy your videos, I can listen to them while working, and you describe the feats and read them, so I don't have to pause the video and read it myself.
Like a Nerd. 😂😅😅 LoL.
Love your videos. Keep I the evergreen content !!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Was literally just thinking about how I missed your videos when this popped up an hour late haha
What a great breakdown. So excited for the witch
As a GM, I'd immediately rule Witch's Broom can also be used on the Witch's Cauldron as well, just for that extra good Baba Yaga flavor.
So, for Coven Spell, can you take the Familiar Master Archetype to get Familiar Conduit, a spellshape to cast a spell from your Familiar's space, then use it on Coven spell to, say, let your wizard use a strong spell with a range of touch, or an emanation that helps frontline fighters?
My desire to play a witch has increased tenfold! Too bad I think I'm up next to GM. XD
I have a condition where I have trouble "injecting" words into my "eye holes".
So I really appreciate these videos. :3
Hey Nonat love your videos and your class guides are great. Love you man.
Been waiting for this!
Nudge Fate is even better. It's no longer sustained, just duration based. Saves a lot of action economy for that patron.
That hut looks so cool!!!
Witch's Armaments disappointed me, I think the Eldritch Nails should have the Agile, Finesse and Unarmed Traits, Iron Teeth should have the Concealable and Unarmed Traits and Living Hair should have the Disarm, Grapple, Reach and Unarmed Traits. It is also weird that Iron Teeth does not have the Unarmed Trait so somehow the Witch's teeth can be disarmed...
Correction: Nudge Fate isn't sustained. It just has a duration.
Great explanation, thank you. I noticed, however, that the music at around 30:55 creates a bad headache.
Yes! More deep dives!
19:29 nudge fate isnt sustained. it just is 1 min
I disagree about Malicious Shadow being bad. You cast it, and then you just get a single action to do free damage each round. It's Spiritual Weapon, letting you stick a thing on an enemy to continue hitting them while you do other stuff. Pop that on, pop your hex on, and stay mobile. Or command your familiar. Same with personal blizzard. Taking one turn to set up Elemental Betrayal and then hitting them is not unusual. Lots of classes have things that take a bit of prep; I think people underestimate how useful consistent, Non-Spellslot-based damage is especially in a long adventuring day.
31:25 Say what, Say what! Bo-bobo!
Sponsored or not, you're my fucking hero!
If anyone else was immediately distrated by the poster but annoyed you couldn't read it in reverse it says: Motivation (Can't Start / Can't Stop), Time (Now / Not Now), Sleep (Too Much Sleep / Not Enough Sleep), Concentration (Talking / Zoning Out)
“I wanna be a witch” -Turanga Leela
The feats that give your familar a cool ability give YOUR FAMILIAR the action so that means that they only cost 1 action to use since command gives your familiar 2 actions.(maybe you already knew but it's better to clear this fact up).
54:42 raise dead is the (uncommon) revive spell it's not create undead
Still incredibly useful - particularly if you have a party like mine. I mean, the last session the thief stepped into THREE DIFFERENT TRAPS, failing his reflex save TWICE. Party came this short of needing a rez. Luckily for him, I didn't roll very high for damage.
There’s also a rule clarification that a spell/ability that says Companion (and doesn’t specify familiar or animal companion) - meaning Thundering Dominance can be cast on your familiar which gives them some scaling for Intimidation (woohoo, less shitty free Demoralize!), a free damage (one action!)
Additionally, Energy Breath Potion adds an action to the imbiber for a breath weapon every 1d4 rounds AND lasts an hour. With Cauldron, you can always have one available and feed it to your familiar.
Spirit/Stitched Familiar, Thundering Roar (Thunderous Dominance), Energy Breath Potion, Elemental Scamp (Elemental Breath), and Skilled - Intimidate means your specific familiar can have some significant combat presence!
You can also pick Kineticist dedication, grab Fearsome Familiar. If you’re Primal/Divine/Occult, when your familiar uses the 2nd Summon Elemental (and dies afterwards), use Shock to the System to bring them back to life AND it can cast Thunderstrike afterwards!
There’s definitely a lot more you can do with your familiar!
@@alarkhar Sure but you going to have to carry around a +2k diamond around and don't forget about the debuffs after rez.
It's good if you don't want to bother/don't have access to the ritual.
Necklace of knives with ceremonial knife could be funny. trades one disadvantage for another, but overcharge with no penalties. just a funny lil initial thought
1:35 literally loading up bg3 right now
OK, this is a question about the broom effect? In I DW Sonic there's a character named whisper her gimmick is of course having a whole bunch of wisps & unique rifle that uses the extraterrestrials that are perfect for familiars as ammunition and weaponry. One of those gives her the ability to fly could you attach the spell to a rifle? Making it your own little broomstick with a boomstick! Personally if this is up to the DM I would say hell yes!
Dragon roost island theme. A man of culture. Best zelda made imo
The picture in the background, I have that as a shirt..
Magic mustache? I’m in.
I love that man
The thing of the spinner of threds patron the nonat missed is that is not sustained, is just 1 minute/ so you can continue casting to all members of the party and prevent missed of 1.
For gods' sake, Paizo, sponsor them man!
I play a back alley doctor occult witch reanimater necromancer. I mainly summon undead and heal. Both the +/- AC and the duration patron would work. However, given that most of my focus points are dedicated to cackle, and I may not always be positioned close enough to an enemy (familiars are still way too squishy, so I don't like it wondering), I am not sure which one would be better. Early on, I can see the +/- AC being fantastic, but decreases in effectiveness as we level up. Finally, hard choices to make.
I have a mighty NEED to make a witch.
Witch charge stacks with reach first level macking u able to cast touch at 60 feet
Im having a friend try DMing with me helping him out on the technicals running Age of Extinction. Im gonna make my character Bobobo and use the fist of the nosehair to hex opponents.
Edit: lol he brought it up
wtf I was literally playing BG3 with this in the background
Ding dong the Witch is here!
Which old witch! The Wicked Witch!
the resentment ability extends ALL negative conditions on the target not just one
MAGUS WITCH KNIGHT FINNA GO CRAZY
Wait, so "all checks and DCs" apply to AC, Saves, and Attack rolls? This just came up recently in our Legacy 2e game: Pathbuilder automatically applied the penalty (from frightened) to all of those things, but Demiplane did not apply it. We debated the wording of the condition and settled on "since it says "checks" and "DCs" it must only apply to things with those in the name, such as skill checks, ability checks, etc. but not saving throws, and not AC since that's not called a DC" etc.
If that's the case, Pathbuilder was right, I'll let them know so we do it right next time.
Is there a way to add Hexes (Stoke The Heart) to a Dedication? Want to build a fighter with the Fervor Patron, and give them a bit extra damage.
question, has paizo made a comment about how to bring other 2e witch patron to the level of those from the remastered? I have a player with baba yaga as her patron. I'm thinking of just giving her a familiar ability from one of the current new patrons but I wonder if there is an official option?
F*ck yeah dude!
Is that sword in the background from a specific piece of media? It looks sweet.
Sting from Lord of the Rings, BIlbo/Frodo's sword
Hey, the video came back! Where had it gone
Familiar of Freezing Rime doesn't seem especially well worded. I feel like it should say "centered on a CORNER of your familiar's space." rather than a square.
immobilized is cue de tah yes? so at rank 10 every one after the familiar casts it gets auto crits right?
The first rule of the Kineticist Video is...
...we don't promote the Kineticist video.
Hey there! I think you got nudge fate a bit wrong. it does not need to be sustained. it just last 1 minute. if you cast it again then the previous effect ends before applying the new one
Feels like a missed opportunity for lesson of elements to not have a metal or wood spell.
Bump for the algorithm
i remember boboboboboboobo
Getting ready to start playing Pathfinder 2e with friends. Please understand I am trying to learm more without years of familarity with Paizo. Question 1: I just bought the 2e Core and 2e Advanced Players guide in PDF format. I believe Nonat mentioned this video is from the "Remaster". Is that the same? Did I buy the wrong PDFs from Paizo? Question 2: Nonat mentioned Witches get unique familiars only available to their specific Patron. Where is the resource for this (book & page)?
Does discern secrets allow the target to take the free action every turn? it doesn't say they can only use it once
Someone likes windwaker as much as i do =)
I REALLY can't wait to see the Patrons of Baba Yaga, Mosquito Witch and Patrons. 2 of them have PFS band-aids already but meh.. I hope they change
42:00 circumstance penalty not status
