Currently, some friends and mine started at 4th ed Home Campaing in Faerun. Each one finded some good places where play or come from, and we (re)discovered Rashemen. We thinked about play a wich from there and a "bodyguard". As you can spect, the male will be a barbarian class character, but suddenly figure that the wich will not be as easy.
In first place we thinked about some primal power source character (shaman + druid) but we think they dont feed our feeling about how her could be. After deliberations, we agreed at warlock (fey pact) will be her best choice for a class, but still, we think we need a bit more of customization, so here i am, requesting for some differents (or not) points of view.
We're going to play early Heroic - tier to (probably) mid Parangon, so paragon path advices will be also apreciated.
Note: As far you can red, im not very used to write on english, so im so sorry about the possible grammar mistakes.
Lots of thanks for your time.
I’m not familiar enough with the Fourth Edition rules to give you any good advice. However, I will say that I think a Warlock is more “like a witch” then shaman+druid.
Is your group starting at 1st level?
Also im thinking about multiclass as i said in the previous post, i feel that they need something else. Now my thoughs are in a warlock/bard combination.
What you think it suites better? warlock will be primary or at least her multiclass.
For the rest of the party, does your character fit in well with the other characters? That is, do you have a good combination of striker, leader, defender and controller?
Will choosing Bard (Warlock/Bard) be a good choice for the party?
the rashemee barbarian.Ill see tons of options where i go into the feats descriptions, maybe too much for find carefully one but: Arcane familiar, that another thing i was looking for. I really like the idea of that, maybe a black-cat or an owl, some tribal paints and think im done
For the rituals, think ill chose animal mesenger and brew potion (if i can afford that two).
means
cleric
warlock
druid
wizard
sorcerer
invoker
bard
would all work for your character.
it all depends on how you see the witch
magic is impresive, but now Minsc leads, Swords for everybody
Hi there,

I actually wrote up a Homebrew Hathran paragon path if your interested? Anyways, the Hathran have devoted a lot to securing Rasheman's shores and have done so for a very long time. This protection has come in the form of powerful Druids with the help of the Othlor, strong-will Sorcerers, and the devoted Clerics of various faiths. Because of this versatility, Hathran are often of mixed backrounds and specialties. I'd think these classes would all fit rather well into the Hathran theme:
Arcanist (the new name for the PHB wizard)
Cleric (templar and/or Warpriest)
Druid (pretty basic and it's canon)
Hexblades (Fey pact, Fey Pact (white well), or Star Pact work the best)
Invoker
Mage (the other wizard class, based on schools of magic)
Seeker
Sentinel (Druid sub-class from Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms)
Shaman (might be the best choice given the style and the connection to the Primal elements)
Sorcerer (cosmic, storm, and wild are the best thematic spell sources)
Swordmage
Warden
Warlock (with the Fey, Star, or even Vestige Pacts)
These classes could illustrate the diversity of the Hathran and all contribute to some form of protection for their country. There's actually a lot for everyone for a multitude of options and ideas.
HATHRAN
"Spirits of Rashemen, lend me your power!"
Prerequisites: Any arcane, divine, or primal class; female affiliated with Rasheman.
You are among the Hathran, a semi-secretive sisterhood that rules the frozen nation of Rashemen. Your magical powers stem from the land itself, because of your position as protector and steward of Rashemen. Hathran are both respected and feared by all Rashemi, due to their mystic ties.
HATHRAN PATH FEATURES
Awe of the Wychlaran (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, enemies within burst 5 take a -2 penalty to attack rolls until the end of your next turn. If they are affiliated with Rasheman or Thay, the penalty is increased to -4.
Other-worldly Speech (11th level): You have the ability to speak to and understand any creature with the elemental, fey, or shadow origin. You also receive a +5 bonus to Arcana checks to discover knowledge about them.
Spirit Magic (16th level): Once per day when first bloodied in an encounter, you may cast any encounter power accessible to your class as an immediate reaction. This power must be an attack but does not need to be prepared or one that you have specifically chosen to fill an encounter power slot. At 21st level, you may use this feature twice per day.
