Hex Twisting: Counter-Magick Spells for the Irritated Witch

Product Information

Hex: A hex is a short-term effect generated on the fly from your patron's magic, requiring your familiar to draw from your patron. As such, you can cast only one spell with the hex trait each turn; attempts to cast a second hex spell on the same turn fail and the spellcasting actions are lost.

Also, I am wondering if the difficulty I had connecting to the story was more from the fact that it has been translated from the original Dutch, versus the actual story itself. Ability Boosts Level 5At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, you boost four different ability scores. You can use these ability boosts to increase your ability scores above 18. Boosting an ability score increases it by 1 if it's already 18 or above, or by 2 if it starts out below 18. This hex acts as cure serious wounds, using the witch's caster level. Once a creature has benefited from the major healing hex, it cannot benefit from it again for 24 hours. At 15th level, this hex acts like cure critical wounds. Finally, I have to praise the quality of the translation and the way the changes were implemented from the original Dutch version of this book for the US edition. Since I have no basis to compare the two versions, I can’t really comment on the actual changes themselves, like the one that switched the location of the setting from a small town in the Netherlands to one nestled in the Hudson Valley region in upstate New York, but I can say that they were done really well and the transposition felt practically seamless (pardon the pun). I was really impressed, and if anything, this exercise showed me that the things that terrify us and keep us up at night are pretty much universal.The Witch is an arcane spellcaster, and is subject to a chance to have their spells fail when wearing armor. This hex can affect a creature of any HD. This hex ends immediately if the creature takes damage. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day. A hex is a product of a spell or a ritual in which you channel negative energies, while a curse is a wish of evil in all respects, and the subject who intends to hurl it attracts nefarious forces to the target. The extent of the curse is proportional to how deep the insults, resentment, and hatred of the curser are. The Origins of Hexes

When a character reaches the 20th level of a class, she gains a powerful class feature or ability, sometimes referred to as a capstone. The following section provides new capstones for characters to select at 20th level. A character can select one of the following capstones in place of the capstone provided by her class. Some capstones are for specific classes, while others are for a range of classes that qualify for them. In some cases, a capstone specifies what ability it replaces. A character can’t select a new capstone if she has previously traded away her class capstone via an archetype. Clerics and wizards can receive a capstone at 20th level, despite not having one to begin with. Duskwalker ( Plane-Hopper's Handbook pg. 17): Add 1/4 to the witch’s caster level when casting spells of the necromancy school. The witch can make her enemies vulnerable to energy. This hex lasts for a number of rounds equal to the witch's level, during which any energy resistance or energy immunities on the target are suppressed. A successful Will save reduces this to just 1 round.Hex starts off really well, the creep factor was so high that reading it at half five in the afternoon felt far too close to bedtime for comfort. For me, it's not so much that it features Or perhaps the “Hex” is an early indicator of Wanda becoming Scarlet Witch. While she does already have her powers, Disney has not been allowed to use the name Scarlet Witch or the word “mutants” in the past. This focus on the “Hex” may be in reference to Wanda’s powers and that, although most of us do not want to believe it, she may be the one in control. Take one of your pins and jab it through the name on the poppet so they are secured together. Think of this pin as a lightning rod to catch your intention and your anger. Then you can funnel it into the poppet and therefore your target. Astrology has been found in civilizations worldwide and throughout history. It has greatly influenced the philosophy, religion, art, and magic of Western culture and has inspired countless decisions and guided people in their daily lives. Traditional Western astrology differs from your typical daily Sun-sign horoscopes. While it still follows the course of the Zodiac through the Heavens, it grounds itself in the seven classical planets—great celestial spheres that the ancients gazed upon for guidance and wisdom.

Diseases, inhaled poisons, and noxious gaseous effects (such as stinking cloud) are negated in a 10-foot aura around the witch for a number of minutes equal to her level. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1-minute increments. Effects caused by spells whose level is more than half the witch’s class level are unaffected. The target either gainsfast healing5 for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 the witch’s class level or it heals up to 4 points of ability score damage from any two ability scores (witch’s choice). The target is rimed with a shell of frost needles that slowly work their way into its flesh (Fortitude negates). The target turns pale and blue, and takes 1 point of Constitution damage per minute until it dies, saves (once per minute), or is cured. Break enchantment, dispel magic, remove curse, and similar spells end the effect. If the target saves, it is immune to this hex for 1 day. This is a cold effect. Starting Wealth: 3d6 × 10 gp (average 105 gp.) In addition, each character begins play with an outfit worth 10 gp or less. Class SkillsThe full list of hexes can be found here. Adding Spells to a Witch’s FamiliarWitches can add new spells to their familiars through several methods. A witch can only add spells to her familiar if those spells belong to the witch’s spell list. A patron might be a deity or demigod, a coven of powerful hags, a fey lord, an archdevil, or a similarly powerful entity, or perhaps multiple such figures working in tandem. As you gain more of your patron's power, you might learn more about who or what they are—certain combinations of themes and lessons suggest particular patrons or agendas—but patrons empower witches for their own secretive reasons, which they rarely reveal in full. If you are casting a hex through your own power, you must invest some of your own energy into the hex. If you aren’t aware of how to do this without allowing this negative energy to affect your own, it may not benefit you to perform one. There are ways to raise yourself out of this state once you’ve finished your spell-work, but sometimes this negative energy will linger in your energy field. If you perform a hex, it’s important to cleanse before and after and perform a protection spell for your own energetic safety. Alternatives to Hexing
