The Witchalok
Player's Handbook 3 Preview
By Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik

For fans of Penny Arcade, you've been able to listen to Mike Krahulik (Gabe) and Jerry Holkins (Tycho) in our latest series of podcasts (as well as Wil Wheaton and PvP's Scott Kurtz). Now you can preview the new character class Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik created, due to appear in the Player's Handbook 3!

Witchaloks are the heirs of a billion-year heritage of baleful sorcery—sorcery substantially more baleful than their magical contemporaries. Necromancers are, by Witchalok standards, insufficiently baleful. Defilers entertain children at Witchalok birthday parties. Liches are commonly used as a punchline in Witchalok stand-up routines. Tiamat is almost bad enough—almost, but not quite.
