Witch Doctor Class D&D 5e

In my free time, I designed a playable class for the Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition. The Witch Doctor class came from the idea that multiple players I've played with wanted a darker druid - something more necrotic and swampy. Rather than adapt a subclass for druid itself, I felt like I should take influences from shamanism and ritualistic practices and create this custom class.

Spell Spreadsheet

This is the spreadsheet I used when picking out the spells I wanted to use to highlight the witch doctor aesthetic. I organized them according to magic schools, which helps me find pockets where the player was lacking spells that I felt fit a witch doctor. I then filled those pockets with abilities from the class to support the spell list.

This is where I've been keeping the updates to the design document and shows my thought process behind the choices I have made!
