Looking for a very good Witch Doctor build most likely going C/N.
A vast majority of the books available.
Any imput or ideas?

Ask your DM to import the Witch class from Pathfinder? It does the witch doctor concept pretty well.

A Druid/Wizard mix who specializes in Polymorph magic and Enchantments and brews lots of potions.

What type of Witch Doctor? Are we talkin a Warcrafty "Somebody call fo da docta?" Or a serious Haitian voodoo, giving people potions to make them your slave kinda thing.

Totally forgot to specify. Yeah was looking more along the lines of Voodoo With Doctor than anything else.

Alright then, my first idea would probably be to go with Artificer. Now when you look at the class you may not totally agree, but really, the guy who has limited magical power himself, but vast knowledge of how things work, using items he's made to transmit power from the cosmos. It's pretty witch doctory.

Otherwise cleric. Screw it.

Don't forget to invest ranks and/or money in boosting perform and bluff to fit the flavor. A top hat + suit will also work wonders.

Just make sure that you've got Friends on the Other Side.

I'd suggest a Spirit Shaman - it's got most of the flavour down already.

Amazing villain, botched movie premise (most/all music is by white artists)... still great for inspiration.

Spirit Shaman or Binder would be my go-tos.

I'd go Archivist (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20051007a&page=3) into Hexer from Masters of the Wild.

THAT'S GENIUS. That PrC is usually so hard to qualify for!
