Speaking of the concept, witches are often portrayed as consorts to demons. Would that sort of thing work in the world of conan or are demons too alien for that?

At least in the first edition, they could not take sorcery stuff, but from reading how the 2nd edition class descriptions is, I guess they are trying to allow for a psuedo-sorceror.
Sorry, Vincent, I hope you don't take offense, I just think that as a class it is akin to the "Bard" from AD+D.
Ichabod said:Could rename temptress manipulatress ... or maybe not.
But, anyway, if you think of the class as a manipulator, it broadens it some. Personally, I think the class is ridiculous, being way too narrow a concept. Might make sense as a prestige class since Conan PCs seem incredibly narrow.
If I wasn't forced to take borderer levels until my character explodes, I would have taken a level of tempter, partially for humor value, partially because I doubted any other player would ever take levels in the class, partially because +2 Will saves isn't so bad.

Totally agree on that. One think that deters players from taking levels in it is that it is too sexually focused.
Clovenhoof said:Of course that will change on higher levels (we were level 3 during this adventure), but the original idea of her staying out of combat entirely is pretty much off the table; she's simply too effective for that. From level 7 on (I think) she'll be able to Feint as a Free Action, so she'll be able to Sneak Attack a lot.
