Witch Healing Hex and Attacks of Opportunity

Witch: Can you use the healing hex (page 66) to damage undead?

The hex acts like the appropriate cure wounds spell, so it damages undead.

As stated from the FAQ, the Healing Hex acts like the appropriate cure wounds spell.

Also, taken from the Witch character section:

Quote:

Unless otherwise noted, using a hex is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.[/QUOTE}

No where in the description of the Healing Hex does it state that it provokes attacks of opportunity. So, should one assume that since it is just like casting the appropriate cure spell, that if a witch were to use this while adjacent to an enemy (say to use it to make a touch attack against an undead) that they would provoke, or since it doesn't say in the Hex description that it provokes, then it doesn't, as per Witch Hexes normally not provoking?

It's a Supernatural ability, it doesn't provoke. Touch attacks don't provoke. Nothing about it provokes.

Yep. Though a more rules-complete version of SKR's response probably could have noted that.

Such as wrote:

The hex acts like the appropriate cure wounds spell, apart from being a supernatural ability, so it damages undead.

Or something of that sort. 'Acts like' can imply 'acts just like' in many cases.
