Witch

From TWC Wiki

A Witch is a character in M2TW that appears in provinces with a high percentage of Heretical religious worship. She Spreads heresy further wherever she goes. A witch can be destroyed by a Priest or Imam using his denounce ability. If the Priest or Imam fails there is a chance the witch will kill the Priest depending on her Magic stat.

[edit] Effects

Witches may appear suddenly in regions that have high Heresy. Witches also spread Heresy in the regions they are in. They move about the campaign map, approaching characters. A Witch can 'curse' a general, giving him negative traits, and may make the character believe he has been struck by an un-holy affliction. A Witch has a better chance at cursing a general if she has a high Magic rating.

These traits include:

Flatulent "Ever since this man's encounter with that horrid pagan crone his stomach has been turning endlessly.": -2 Command -1 authority -2 morale for troops on battle field

Warts Not so proudly wearing a cluster of warts on his face, no doubt the work of a vile witch.-1 command -1 morale for troops on battle field

[edit] Weaknesses

Witches, like Heretics can be denounced by priests, imams or cardinals. They are very vulnerable to Great Imams and Cardinals

If you have a priest which has a low piety rating, then call your assassin! You can assassinate a witch and no one will get angry at you! Since the witch is a Rebel and she is hunted by all factions, you can "take care" of her, you might sometimes get a mission from the Pope to assassinated her as well!
