d100 Witch Magical Abilities

1-40	Choose a spell from the Witch or Magic-User list that is within your Maximum spells per level.
41-68	Choose a spell from the Witch or Cleric list that is within your Maximum spells per level.
69	I sense a great disturbance etc. etc. You have a form of postcognition that allows you to detect the presence of cast spells, eldritch creatures and the like (not omnipresent magic or currently magical things going on like Detect Magic could) in a given 30' x 30' area within the last day. You will know whether it was a spell or creature or effect or what. Re-rolling this allows you to know the nature of it broadly (enchantment, demon, etc.). Re-rolling this a third time tells you exactly what it is. Re-rolling it a fourth time allows you to function as a walking “Detect Magic” spell. After that re-roll.
70	Further advancement will require you to placate obscure gods. You have to adopt a taboo like: †† Cannot eat vegetables or meat. †† Cannot wash yourself. †† Cannot cut your hair. †† Cannot wear a certain color. or whatever. Each time you re-roll this you need to take up another one.
71	Witch Lie. You can tell one lie per day (one sentence long) and be automatically believed by anyone at least half your level (round up). Re-rolling this means you can tell two lies, then three, etc.
72	After long eons of patient and lonely research you’ve found it—that thing you wanted? The Star Swallower? The dragon egg? The mountain fortress? It’s there. 4 sessions worth of adventure away or less. Tell your Referee, who then must place it. You must have a fair shot at it, like any other treasure, but there’s no guarantee you will get it. If you don’t get it by the fourth session you can keep trying or let it go and roll again on this table. However, if you choose to roll again and then you do get the thing somehow anyway, you lose whatever gimmick you rolled. Referee think up some clever reason why.
73-74	You may choose one of your spells that works at a touch, without any verbal component.
75-76	You have glimpsed primal vistas both horrific and majestic in your meditations. The flesh world does not concern you. Immune to fear. If you re-roll this, your companions gain a +2 vs fear if they can see you, then +4, etc.
77	By making a successful saving throw vs Magic you may turn any spell cast on anyone in line of sight back on the original caster. It is done immediately and you lose your next turn. You can do this once per day. Each time you re-roll this result you get +1 to the save.
78	+2 to save vs Magic. +1 more every time you roll this.
79-80	You may ask and receive an honest answer from an inanimate object once per day, plus one more every time you re-roll this. Inanimate objects aren’t smart, but they know what has gone on around them.
81	Take a spell you already possess and bind it into an object. You may now use the spell twice per day and it functions as if you were a level higher. However: the spell is now bound to that object, not you. Whoever has the object can use it. Non-witches and lower-level witches use it as if it were cast by a witch one level lower than you.
82	Receive a random Witch or Magic-User spell one level higher than you are ordinarily able to cast.
83	One of your existing spells (pick one) is also attached to a form of the Contingency spell. A second “copy” of the spell is set to activate as soon as a trigger event of the caster’s choice occurs. The caster may only cast and set a new contingency once a week. In essence, contingency means that rather than having 7 copies of a spell per week at will, the caster now has 8, but the 8th one is only activated by the specific condition. Re-rolling this result allows for another contingency to be set with a different spell.
84	Poorly grasped spell. You may select any spell of a level you are not normally allowed to cast, only it has a 50% chance of backfiring. Re-rolling this result improves the caster’s odds by 1%. Only spells which would be dangerous or harmful if they backfired may be chosen.
85	Receive 2 random Witch or Cleric spells of any level you are able to cast.
86	Roll under Int +1 on a d20 to identify obscure pieces of lore and magic items. This ability goes far beyond what an ordinary Magic-User would know. Add +1 for each time you re-roll this until you get to 19.
87	You get one 8th lvl spell of your choice as a ritual (9th lvl if you are able to cast 8th lvl spells). This means either (your choice): †† it takes 24 minus your Int score hours to cast it and you have to stay in the same place (30' x 30' square) doing nothing else the whole time, or… †† you have to do some elaborate ritual thing that takes only an hour as described by the Referee for this effect. Either way the target/area of effect must be right there unless you have a separate scrying spell or the like and the spell must be used immediately. You may cast your ritual spell once per month. Rolling this again gets you another one available.
88	+1 to hit every time you roll this.
89	You have a mutation that goes beyond mere deformity: an eye that floats an inch outside of its socket, a third arm, etc. You can roll a random mutation if you like or pick something.
90	You may write a magical contract. Anyone freely agreeing to such contract and signing it will take d6 damage per your level if they break it. The damage goes up by one die every time you re-roll this.
91	You may cast Summon once per month in addition to your normal complement of spells.
92	On a successful Wis check you can read both the aspect and aura of anyone at least 2 HD lower than your level. You know if they’re lying, if they are under magical influence, and if they are what they seem. Re-rolling this adds one to the check.
93	On a successful save against Magic you not only successfully resist a spell, you may “catch” it and release it any time in the next 8 hours—effectively casting that spell as if it were your own. You may not cast any other spells until you release the stored spell. This only works on spells that affect only you or an area only you and/or your familiar occupy (like if Rock to Mud was cast and you were the only one in the room, you could absorb that). If you re-roll this result, you may use it on spells targeting you and one other person, if you re-roll it again then it goes for you and 2 other targets, etc. etc.
94	You know a magical recipe: you may cook a meal that transmits the effect of any spell you are able to cast. It takes a number of hours equal to the level of the spell to prepare, goes bad after 24 hours and feeds a number of creatures equal to your level.
95	You can turn into one other chosen shape at will. It can be another humanoid shape, like another person—or it can be an ordinary animal somewhere between your size and cat size. You have to decide what the thing is: its stats are exactly the same as yours and it has no special movement or sensory powers. I mean, if it’s smaller than you it can move through smaller doors but otherwise whatever. Each time you re-roll this you get one other shape you can assume.
96	You have one spell of any level you are able to cast which is totally random each morning. Roll to see what it is. Re-rolling this result means you get another one plus one extra random spell each morning. And if you re-roll it again you get another plus two extra, etc.
97	You hover an inch above the ground at all times because magic. If the ground falls out from under you, you still fall, you just land an inch above where you normally would. -d6 to all falling damage. -d6 more each time you re-roll this result.
98	Your unnatural metabolism no longer handles what humans call “food”. You eat something else—pick—it must be something that might be present in a forest but not in a bare prison cell. Likewise, your blood, tears, sweat, saliva, etc. no longer “taste” human and there is a 1 in 6 chance carnivores will ignore you. This chance goes up by one each time you reroll this result.
99-00	If you sleep, you will receive a minor prophecy in a dream. It will communicate some true or likely thing about the outcome of whatever’s on your mind as you sleep.
