I’m not sure if that first sentence is targeted at setting or players. They basically read like rangers, which is dumb, but I was amused by how the article opened. There is a kinda weird article on Elven Cavaliers. These classics are exactly that, classic. Honestly, WotC/Hasbro should do this again. Some other tidbits in this issue I enjoyed are an advert to order these T-shirts. I have always felt that tables like these are subtle ways to build worlds and deserve thought and care. Unfortunately, one look at these things and you realize not a ton of thought went into them. Speaking of amusing bits, these graveyard tables are the only other Halloween oriented articles in this issue. How exactly is that impressive? These bits always amuse me.
So basically it is a wizard that can brew potions and has a limited spell list. I mean just look at the level progression and spell list: What I find interesting about the “class” is they call it out as being super powerful, but I highly doubt anyone playtested this class. Speaking of witches, Dragon does love the NPC class and the Witch NPC class in particular.
If I saw this on the magazine rack I wouldn’t realize it was Halloween, just assume it is another fantasy themed issue. It also reflects the main article in the issue, Witches, which gives it a decent tie to the Halloween theme, but isn’t very overt. It even works with the logo of the magazine at the time. The cover of this issue is by David Martin and really is well done. Being driven by mostly outside submissions this isn’t too surprising. Many simply play lip service, making me wonder if perhaps they didn’t have much of an editorial calendar. The magazine has often been hit or miss with it’s holiday focused issues. In honor of the month I am going to carve out some time to look at some of the Halloween issues of The Dragon.
