Witch - A BG3 Homebrew

Introduction

This is my first mod, like ever, and it was an ambitious entirely new class with 4 subclasses. It started out as an exploration of seeing if I could as I knew nothing about modding at all. Thankfully the modding toolkit was released and made organization and research quite a bit easier. I hope whomever tries it enjoys what I made and it helps fulfill a niche class fantasy that you were looking for in BG3.

Class Overview:

The witch is an intelligence based full caster with limited spells known like the sorcerer. Instead they gain the majority of their spells through a chosen witch's craft. Additionally they use the resource witchery to cast spell-like effects at great efficiency, often circumventing concentration requirements at the cost of duration. Similarly, witches use witchery to curse their targets with unusual conditions, often targeting saves that are mental instead of physical.
