I have written about witches; they gain these things as a reward for doing awful witch things more often, like spell rituals and cavorting with elves and stealing secrets from the dead and all that other shit. This is the working draft I've been using in play-testing. So far so good.
Roll a D6 (for the column) and a D10 (for the row). I will paste these and then go to a party.
