Hello, people. :smallsmile:
I'm playing in a mixed 3.5/Pathfinder game, I just leveled up and I was wondering if you could help me with my character.
I'm a human Witch 5/Gunslinger (Mysterious Stranger) 1 and I'm taking my next level in Witch.
My feats are Otherwordly (because we use 3.5 Alter Self), Point Blank Shot and Two-weapon Fighting. I'm missing my level 5 feat (I forgot to choose it ^.^) and the feat I'll get on level 7. I also have Brew Potion and Gunsmith, but I got those as bonus feats.
My hexes from Witch are Cauldron, Prehensile Hair and Evil Eye.
My familiar is a monkey.
This level I'll get two new spells known, a new hex and a feat. Do you have any idea what I should take? All official Pathfinder and 3.5 books are allowed.

Why Mysterious Stranger? Witches have no uses for charisma beyond social skills. Far be it from me to tell you how to run your character, but I really don't see the synergy.
There are other ways to build Jonah Hex.

Because I'm a Bayonetta expy. ^.^
It just wouldn't be right to have low Charisma on her. I need it for Perform (dance) and Intimidate.

Have you tried skill enhancing items? They are dirt cheap.

I'll try to get them eventually.

Bayonetta is an awesome idea but one I don't think the actual Witch class does very well (other than Prehensile Hair and maybe the Cauldron). You'd probably be better off with Incarnum/Binding/Psionics, and a refluff.

I agree with ravens_cry that you should probably go with a Cha-focused class for her, especially for 'Slinger and Dance synergy. She also seems to be more on the spontaneous side.

Anyway, abilities you will want to model:

- Shapeshifting (bird and cat forms)
- Witch Walk (running on walls and such; spider climb?)
- Witch Time (any way to gain extra actions works, though extra actions when someone misses you would be ideal)
- Spraying bullets everywhere while dancing (some kind of ranged whirlwind would be neat)
- Wicked Weave summons/finishers

AAAH I'd known that Prehensile Hair was a way to reload if you where dual-wielding pistols but I'd never made the Bayonetta connection until this moment.
