2 different version of Extra Hex in the PRD

In the PRD we have two different version of the Extra hex feat, that confuse the players. I know that both are "right" for the book in which they are printed, but some player check simply the name of the ability, without checking all the information. And that is compounded as the Index point to the APG, so people checking the Index will get the wrong information.

Extra Hex

You have learned the secrets of a new hex.

Prerequisite: Hex class feature.

Benefit: You gain one additional hex. You must meet the prerequisites for this hex. If you are a shaman, it must be a hex granted by your spirit rather than one from a wandering spirit.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you gain another hex.

I am using the right section of the forum?


The one in the ACG is an update of the one in the APG, since the APG one was written when only witches and a few archetypes had a class feature called Hex and all hexes were from the witch list. Then the Shaman was introduced in the ACG and had a class feature called Hex that honestly has as much or more to do with oracle revelations as it does with witch hexes, and are linked to the Shaman's spirits (though they can take some witch hexes too I think). An update to the feat was needed to account for how shaman hexes and the process of selecting them are different from witch hexes.

That said, the PRD is basically a digital version of the books, so it will probably continue to have the original witch-based version of the feat in the APG section.

I know all that, but after finding someone that was asking in the rule section "The hex has been changed back?", I think it can generate problems.

Heya! In the future, please post PRD issues to the PRD reporting thread linked from the sidebar on the PRD. This makes it easier for our team to track when performing updates, rather than having to sift through multiple threads and potentially missing an issue.
