Warpfire Witch

Saves: Willpower +8, Agility +5

Pyromantic Mastery. The witch's warpflame ignores Light Cover and keeps burning on ground, armor, and probability alike; zones it ignites burn until the end of the scene.

Borne on Burning Wings. Wings of blue flame grant the witch flight. While airborne it is a moving artillery problem, not an emplacement; grounding it (nets, Suppression, psychic counters) should feel like the tide turning.

The Price Is Posted. The witch's power grows as the fight lengthens: its warpflame deals +1 damage for each round after the second. Once per scene it may double the effect of one action, rolling Perils regardless of outcome — the table should see the fire getting brighter.

Storm of Change. A 20-foot-radius blast of warpflame centered on a point within 100 feet. Creatures in the area make an Agility Save DC 14, taking 3d8 fire damage on a failure or half on a success. A creature that fails by 5 or more also risks mutation and Corruption exposure.

Lance of the Nine Suns. A focused line 60 feet long and 5 feet wide. Creatures in the line make an Agility Save DC 14 or take 2d10 + 3 fire damage. The lance ignores cover entirely and burns through the wall behind the last target.

Rewrite the Flesh. One enemy within 60 feet makes a Willpower Save DC 14 or suffers a temporary mutation of the GM's design until the scene ends, imposing Disadvantage on rolls that rely on the changed part.

Burning Ascent. When a melee attack misses the witch, she flies up to 20 feet without provoking Reactive Fire, laughing.

Morale: Fights with soaring arrogance until bloodied, then pushes recklessly — it will risk Perils, mutation, and its own coven before it will retreat and be seen to have failed.

Tactics: Keep it airborne and moving, walking area damage across the party's cover while acolytes hold the ground. It escalates on a visible curve — the party is racing the witch's own power spiral, and killing it late means killing it mid-catastrophe.

Loot / Evidence / Hooks: Her grimoire of nine-part formulae, still warm to the touch and slightly heavier each time it is opened.

The Warpfire Witch is a dangerous psyker specializing in flame, mutation, and the kind of failure that scars a battlefield. It is the Blue-Flame Acolyte's terminal degree — power without a leash, ambition without a floor.

Use this enemy as the psychic centerpiece of a Tzeentchian battle: area devastation, mutation threats, and Perils as a live table stake.

Moderate durability, high area psychic damage, mutation and Corruption pressure, flight-capable evasion, severe Perils volatility that endangers both sides.

Borne on Burning Wings. Wings of blue flame grant flight and make it a moving artillery problem, not an emplacement.

The Price Is Posted. Its power grows as the fight lengthens (+1 damage each round after the second), and so do its Perils odds; the table should see the fire getting brighter.

Storm of Change. Large area warpflame blast; failed saves take heavy fire damage and risk mutation.

Lance of the Nine Suns. Focused line attack that burns through cover, armor, and the wall behind the target.

Rewrite the Flesh. One enemy saves against Willpower or suffers a temporary mutation of the GM's design until the scene ends.

Ninth-Hour Push. Doubles a power's effect and rolls Perils regardless of outcome, once per scene, usually at the worst moment.

Morale: Fights with soaring arrogance until bloodied, then pushes recklessly — it will risk Perils, mutation, and its own coven before it will retreat and be seen to have failed.
