Barovian Witch
The mad women and men known as Barovian witches
forge pacts with Strahd and the Dark Powers of Ravenloft
in exchange for magic and longevity. They prefer
to live in the shadows and can see in the dark. When
traveling in the open, they use alter self spells to assume
less conspicuous forms. They also use these spells to
grow long, sharp claws with which they can attack.
Brothers and Sisters of Strahd. Barovian witches
have no scruples. They will deal with anyone in return
for power. They will also betray anyone for the same
reason. The only thing they fear is Strahd, and his wish
is their command. Barovian witches sometimes refer to
themselves as the brothers and sisters of Strahd, though
never to Strahd's face.
Pack Rats with Cats. Barovian witches are obsessive
collectors, each believing that almost anything found-a
piece of broken bone, a dead rodent, a handful of dust,
or some other worthless item or substance-could be
valuable or useful as a spell component, a ritual object,
or a potion ingredient.
Barovian witches use the find familiar spell to call
forth familiars. They are particularly fond of cats,
though snakes and toads are also common. These animals
lurk amid the clutter of the witches' lairs, seldom
wandering far from their vile masters.
