Help me goth up my witch

[Depravity]

Playing Paizo Pathfinder on the weekends, and have started a witch out of the new advanced players handbook. Somewhere along the line, the idea of playing her as a medieval gloom cookie got germinated, and found fertile soil in my brainpan. I had issues picking out a name, until one of my friends forced the family name of "Pickles" on me, and Melody Glorianna Pickles was born. She'd much rather have you call her Gayle Darkwind.

We played a session as our characters while they were children, then skipped forward a few years to the whole leaving the village because ye olde evil has destroyed it. Bit of traveling, met her uncle who's a sort-of officer in a disorganized adventurer's guild, and got sent on a mission. On which my three friends promptly skipped happily into an assassin vine (crippled somewhat, but still deadly) and died. So yes, everyone who understands me is dead.

What I find lacking in my playing of her is the inability to express myself in an appropriately dark pseudo-romantic manner. I need help coming up with phrases, or phrase fragments, that truly describe the experience of being infested by the sluggish ebon elixir which chokes my heart. I'm playing it half for laughs, so somewhat silly is appreciated, although it works best when I can say these things with a straight face and wholly serious delivery.

Witches are broken as hell lol
Hex curse lasts for 7 rounds on mine and with Cacle I can target two things with it, plus I took Sleep for a spell and later on took Sleep hex which can make it so that you can have essentially a "make the save or die" effect. Continue Cackling and they stay asleep indefinately. You put them to sleep, walk up and Coup-de-grace lol

Well, you did say you were going for the funny side, and when I was reading I couldnt help but think of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QENEVc6IMg

Watch the 3 parts, take your pick for inspiration, Misery, Malady or Malaise. Enjoy.

Google for some goth poetry. I'm sure you can work some Edgar Allen Poe into your conversations, or better yet some gods-awful teenage angsty poetry you can have on hand to read from.

Those were great, tyvm. "I hate surprises. The last time I was surprised, the pack of wolves was ruthless..." has some definite potential.

Oh, I did that, but you'd be surprised how little goth poetry directly references beholders. There's also the whole "need to remove my eyes with a rusty grapefruit spoon now" aspect of the search results.

Does cackle work on the sleep curse? I thought it wasn't on the list, but I'll doublecheck. I do find the witch to be extremely powerful against single targets with poor will saves who aren't undead, elves, constructs, plants, etc. In other words, not broken if you have a competent GM. Although having a second level character almost drop a (summoned, plot device) bearded devil was kind of awesome.

Yea, cackle doesnt work on sleep my bad lol but you can evil eye something on a stat, cackle to keep that one up then hit the same target for another -2 (or higher), and that lasts 7 rounds at lvl 2 on my Witch.
And you dont have to be an incompitant DM to have a problem with this lol If you are running a game where the players ARENT running into lots of "undead, elves, constructs, plants, etc."
Say yer running a game where the primary enemies are Goblinoids... you run into your primary enemy (think boss fight), a witch in the party hits him with sleep hex, you roll a 1, the barbarian walks up and coup-de-grace. Fun fight right?
And theres NO upper limit to that hex like there is for the sleep spell, also, no times per day, no memorization.

I CHOSE (completely on my own) to reroll the class BECAUSE I was breaking the game for everyone else and making it no fun.
