Hidden Oddities: A Witch's Primer
Publisher: Eva Brown

I've followed Eva for a little while now and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the content she has released thus far. The Witch's Primer is no different; I was completely blown away by the amount of care, creativity, artistry, and time put into each aspect of the resource.

I was initially concerned that the sheer breadth of the document was indicative of a focus of quantity over quality, but after finishing reading through the many archetypes, spells, and curios introduced throughout Hidden Oddities, I'm very happy to say that I was mistaken. There's a nice balance between generally useful and powerful yet niche curios available for a witch, and with the right choice of archetype and curio, a witch can fulfill roles normally held by only a small collection of classes. Despite this, however, the class still manages to retain a distinctly witch-y feel regardless of the subclass or curio set you pick. My personal favorite subclasses are those based on hag creatures (such as the Secrets of Frost and Secrets of the Feast subclasses) as they all feel delightfully playful despite their seemingly narrow range of effectiveness.

While I am immensely pleased by the majority of the content in the primer, I do feel that it's a bit dense to have all been in a single document. Hidden Oddities is roughly 150 pages in length, and many of the pages are filled from top to bottom with text surrounding a single item, subclass, or feature, especially concerning the large tables dedicated to the fortune-telling subclass. While I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing (and I would have been immensely saddened to miss out on any of the wonderful writing and artwork included in the primer), it does make the resource pretty difficult to interest friends in due to how much of an undertaking it is to read through. What a pleasant read it is, though!

Pick up Hidden Oddities if you enjoy maximum customizability for your characters and crave a unique and, until now, sorely overlooked flavor of spellcaster in 5e: the subtle, otherworldly, and immensely diverse weaver of arcane that is the witch.
