Hedgewitch
Hedgewitch is another generic class for the third party Pathfinder supplement Spheres of Power, though not quite as modular as the Incanter. It’s extremely customizable in what aspects it can focus on, but is set back by the limitations of being a mid-caster mid-martial class as well as the class feature progression.
Instead of being front-loaded out the wazoo, the Hedgewitch picks two particular paths to focus on, each giving particular special talents on. A lot of these paths allow them to imitate various powers of other classes, such as the Paladin's Lay on Hands or the Oracle's Curse, or invent entirely new powers like buff auras and circles to repel specific foes.
As the class progress, they gain secrets (class features) that they can spend on either adding additional features on their chosen paths or to dip into other paths, a practice almost as powerful as multiclassing. These paths are also what are sacrificed to access archetypes, which the Hedgewitch has quite a few.
- Dragonblooded Mortal grants quite a few dragon powers and features, all without using the Alteration sphere.
- Entropic Sage makes the Hedgewitch into a monk, gaining both the unarmed attack progression of one as well as the ability to use the destruction sphere on these attacks.
- Martial Hedgewitch uses the sacrificed archetype to gain access to Spheres of Might, including having a combat talent progression that's separate from the casting talents. Incidentally, there's also a path that also grants access to Spheres of Might, but that also uses features from the Magus as well as providing no extra talents.
