Awakened Witch

The witch is largely a powerful class thanks to its access to powerful hexes. However the hex list leave somewhat to be desired, with only a few hexes ever being worth it. The awakened witch makes little changes to the witch itself, instead focusing on changing some hexes.

Changes

• Patron: In addition to having access to the normal list of patrons, a witch has access to the witching patron (see below).
• Patron Spells: A witch no longer gain access to her patron spells at a set level, instead she always counts as knowing any patron spells of any levels she can cast. She may convert prepared spell into her patron of an equal level or lower spontaneously. If a witch becomes a spontaneous caster, she merely adds her patron spells to her list of spell known whenever she gain access to a new spell level.
• Cackle: The cackle hex becomes a class feature gained at 3rd level.

Witching Patron: Instead of relying on otherworldly beings, some witches gain their power through the teaching passed down by ancient witches. These witches do not gain a patron from a list of patron. Instead she chooses a single 1st level spell on the witch list to be her 1st level patron spell, repeating the process whenever she gain access to a new spell level. This prevents the witch from accessing spells outside of her spell list with her patron, but grants her more flexibility with her patron spells.

New & Revised Hexes

Deep Hypnotism (Su)

This is a revision of the combat hypnosis hex.

The witch can lull her enemies into a trance, even in the chaos of combat. This hex functions as hypnotism, except it can affect only one creature at a time without a HD limit, and the target creature does not receive the usual +2 bonus on its saving throw while in combat. If the target successfully saves, then it cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day. At 5th level, a creature made fascinated by this hex only break of its fascination if directly harmed.

Disguise (Su)

This is a revision of the disguise hex.

A witch can change her appearance for a number of hours per day equal to her class level, as if using disguise self. These hours do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-hour increments. Unlike the spell, this disguises touch and sound, and it doesn’t allow a saving throw to disbelieve). At 5th level, while under the effect of this hex, the witch is under a constant [nondetection effect.

Green Thumb (Su)

As a standard action, a witch may affect a single plants she can touch with either plant growth spell or the diminish plant. At 5th level she adds both plant growth and diminish plant to her list of patron spells.
