Allo there,
I know that hexes such as Charm and Evil Eye are mind-affecting, so creatures immune to mind-affects such as the Undead and Constructs are unaffected, but even so I was curious about just what is immune to a witch's hexes: undead, constructs, swarms, elementals, swarms?
Would a hex still affect something incorporeal? What about something with spell resistance, spell immunity, et cetera?
Is a hex considered magic, but not a spell?
And while I know that many creatures that are immune to mind-affects are also immune to sleep affects, I do wonder if a hex like Misfortune is something else entirely as it is not specified as mind-affecting (I am almost thinking of it as more of a curse/luck thing). Thank you in advance.

Allo there,

For armor made of special materials, such as adamantine and mithril, it states "Weapons or armors fashioned from [adamantine/mithral] are always masterwork items as well." A masterwork set, or piece, of armor has its armor check penalty lessened by one; however, adamantine armor is also indicated as having its armor check penalty lessened by one and mithril armor is indicated as having its armor check penalty lessened by three (to a maximum of 0).

As the only benefit to armor of masterwork quality is that its armor check penalty is lessened by one, is it then meant that armor made of those special materials that are considered masterwork quality have that armor check penalty reduction for being masterwork in addition to their material based reduction in armor check penalty? So . . .

Normal Half-Plate has a -7 armor check penalty
Masterwork Half-Plate has a -6 armor check penalty
Adamantine* Half-Plate has a -5 armor check penalty
Mithril* Half-Plate has a -3 armor check penalty

* = per descriptions, always considered of masterwork quality.

Is the previous correct or did I possibly overlook or misunderstand something -- or is this simply an instance of dodgy writing? Thank you.
