I am going over my options for the big New Year, New Character Challenge coming up next month. Seeing where I have some gaps and what other characters I need to do.
Surprisingly the one I don't have a lot of is D&D 3rd Edition. So I thought I might dust off my 3.5 books and see if I can still do this. Plus it is conspicuous by it's absence in my write-ups of Skylla.
A recap. Skylla is an NPC "magic-user" introduced to us in the LJN Advanced Dungeons & Dragons toy line and given more background in module XL1 Quest for the Heartstone and AC1 The Shady Dragon Inn. I have adapted her as a witch for various D&D-like game settings and systems.
She has become something of a reoccurring villainess in my games. I admit to borrowing heavily from Master's of the Universe Evil-Lyn for her characterization. I figure I can do worse than that.
For this version of Skylla for D&D 3.5 I am going to use the sample custom witch class from the Dungeon Master's Guide.
The DMG witch class is a bit anemic really, it is just a reskinned Sorcerer. But the goal for it was not to develop a full-blown witch class as I have done, but rather show how the classes can be altered for your own needs. Given how 3.x did the Sorcerer class this one should be fairly close to the BECMI roots of the character.

Not a bad build really. She compares well to her base stats and to the Pathfinder 1st Edition version. I will have to try a Pathfinder 2nd Edition version sometime.
I also pleased with how her ePic Character came out.
This is my entry in this month's RPG Blog Carnival, When the Bad Guys Win, hosted by Phoenix Games. Skylla is certainly one of my favorite "Bad Girls" and I do like her to win.
