Hi everyone,

We recently started roleplaying in the 3rd edition of the Old World and got the Core Set, Adventurer Toolkit plus Wind of Change expansion. So far we've played 1 session and enjoyed it but one thing one of my players who loves to play caster (thats the Wind of Change buyer ) noticed is the absence of hedge wizardry in this edition.

He noticed it because he was thinking about rolling one for fun but saw none. (so we rolled something as a house rule with the apprentice career)

I mean they even released a Magic Supplement but nothing on this yet but a few dark magic + tzeench spells.

Is the hedge wizard an option removed? We know it makes you in danger of being hunted for heresy, but it was still a nice career options...

Any info on this? thx

Likely comming in the next expansion, Witch something it's called...

The witch song is coming out, but from what I've seen it is an adventure.

For hedge wizardry, I would just use dark magic. Give the player access to all of the basic spells and the dark magic spells, minus the tzeentch/nurgle spells. The reading seems to equate dark magic with hedge wizardry.

There might be a supplement, but at the rate FFG puts them out you will be waiting for quite some time. I'd would hope it would be near last on the product cycle - there is a lot of ground that needs to be covered until then.

Oh... I thought Witch Song was kinda the Slaneesh expansion, but guess it's not so.

Oh well.

If I were to have a player do Hedge Wizardry, I'd give him the Dark Magic talent, but remove the yellow die bonus. Then let him buy spells like anyone else.

Or have him add 1 purple die when channeling/casting.

The Witch's Song is a stand alone adventure in a format similar to The Edge Of Night. So we will get a box with all what we need to play. The adventure takes place just out side Marienburg. And if You heared carefuly what Jay said at the Small But Viciuos Seminar - this will future Hedge Wizards and Hedge Magic. So it looks like it will have some new rules just like it was in The Edge Of Night - there were rules for the Morrslieb full moon.

The Witch's Song will hit stores in January'Febuary 2011 as I suspect.

Spivo - And about Slaanesh - he will be in the future in a special expansion that will be published in Autumn/Winter 2011 I think. The title is unknown.

If someone in my group wanted to be a hedge wizard, I'd be tempted to give them access to any of the spells currently available - provided they could justify how they learned them IG. The basic spells plus the Dark Magic spells are a good start though.
