The Hedgewitch (player class) by PCSpinner and Covens (for the Hedgewitch) by PCSpinner
Both products feature the same cover art with some color variation.
The Hedgewitch PDF is a PWYW with a suggestion of $1.00 for 9 pages.
Covens is $0.50 for 4 pages.
It looks like the math here is about ¢10 a page. Let's see if that holds up across the DMSGuild titles.
Both come in standard format and printer-friendly format.
The Hedgewitch is true to its name and presents a Hedgewitch class. She gets spell levels up to level 5 only. The class has a nice variety of features and powers and all have a really nice witchy feel to them.
The "sub-classes" or archetypes of the hedgewitch are "covens" which is exactly what I would do and would expect since "Traditions" were taken by the Wizards class. There is a nic variety here.
The layout and art look really nice. I think some of it is public domain art and photos. At least they look a little familiar.
There are no "new" spells, but it does use spells that were new at the time of publication.
Covens for the Hedgewitch is similar in terms of art, layout, and options. This pdf offers another four covens to use with the Hedgewitch.
So a couple of thoughts.
These easily could have been combined into one product, but I think I see the rationale for keeping them separate. Either way it is fine.
The layout and art is really nice, the creator spent some time on this and it shows. This was released four years ago and I thought the creator would have done more, but I only see six total titles in the DMSGuild. The inclusion of printer-friendly versions is a very nice touch.
I would try this class out. I think there are some good ideas here.
ETA: The Hedge witch class was taken down since I wrote this review.
