Witch The Void v1.4

Magical practitioners who commune with the forces of nature and entities from realms beyond. Witches call forth their power through craft, rituals, incantations, herbs, stones, candles, and other tools to enact their will and conjure powerful spells.

During a long rest, you can commune with an entity (an ancestor, deity, spirit, aspect of nature, etc.). Ask them a question, then roll 4d6. If any of the dice have matching values, reference the chart below for the effect. If there are multiple matches, you get more than one effect.
