Check it out here (http://wizards.com/dnd/files/Preview_Witchalok.pdf) guys.

This class seems awesome, I can not wait for PHB3. The At-wills are a bit on the weak side, but then again, its a controller so they are all about positioning the enemy to get hurt.

I don't know. It's April Fools Day, so I'd advise everyone to take this with a continent of salt.

Edit: Good grief. This isn't even well executed or funny. 2/10 wizards. 2/10.:smallsigh:

I assumed it was just going to be based on the PA strips, not actually by the guys.


Awesome
Some witchaloks are so awesome that people can’t
even believe it. When people see you get out of a Lamborghini,
platinum spinners whirling, ornate robes
crisp and pressed, they wonder if they still have time to
switch classes. Whenever a target would be pushed by
one of your Witchalok powers, that target also wants to
hang out sometime maybe, if you aren’t too busy.

Personally, I liked the at-will that causes enemies to "die until the end of your next turn".

That's so many levels of comedy I can't believe it!

actually one could use "Death Laser" to help the party...

what? the cleric is stunned?

DEATH LASER

not stunned now!

i mean... dying removes all effects, right?

also, if "Which Witchalok", creates duplicates of you... does that mean they also gain AP? and if so can they use that AP to use "Which Witchalok"? you could theoretically have 18 copies of yourself or more, per turn. though they die pretty quick...still. easy way to clog up a dungeon.

I love this bit:

"Each duplicate is a real person with his or her own hopes and dreams. These duplicates die at the start of your next turn."

Damn. I think I'll start playing 4th edition just to get to play this class.

I found "Slow, Dramatic Clapping" a masterpiece.

Agreed. That and Death Laser were the high points. The writeup was rather inconsistent in quality, but it certainly had its moments.

Quite impressive. On the one hand, it is so over the top that nobody will ever take this seriously. On the other hand, it is still funny. Reading that article will make you laugh (save ends).

This wins the internet.

The second to post also found it rather boring, apparently. Or he's being sarcastic. But then maybe you're being sarcastic.

I found it funny, at any rate.

Hmm, am I being sarcastic?
