Here was an idea I had. Curious about what you thought.
Would you rule that a witch could use the spell to deliver touch spells? The description says spells of 4th level or lower however. Do hexes have spell level equivalences like the 3.5 warlock? I feel this would be a better go-around then house ruling curses with range and saving throws.
Please excuse me if this had already been mentioned and I missed it.
I was looking over the Witch class recently, and was thinking about something like this.
4th level spells would be caster level 8th or lower (9th level gives witches 5th level spells).
Major Hexes start at 10th level, thus the 8th level Hex is the last "normal only" slot.
Since Spectral Hand allows spells of 4th level or lower to be cast through it, I think I would rule that a Witch can use spectral hand to cast normal hexes (but not major or grand).
.
Also, at 3rd level and up, their familiar can deliver touch spells. I'd allow any hex to be delivered in this fashion.
Which can be good for doing a sneaky one... have their familiar just wander up to the PCs, who suspect nothing, and WAMMO.. Forced Reincarnation! HA!
Alternatively, the Death Curse gives a more subtle "what the heck just happened" effect, and gives the familiar time to get the heck out of there and avoid retribution.
