Witch. spell hex: Ill Omen + cackle


Rules Questions


A witch has Ill Omen as a spell hex.

she hexes an opponent with ill omen.

the target is afflicted for 1 round per level or until discharged.

If by the time the witch takes her next turn the target has not completely discharged the bad rolls will the witches cackle renew the amount of bad rolls or simply extend the duration of the spell.

if the target has used up all of his bad roles does that mean that cackle has no effect?

what if the witch has taken daze as a spell hex... will the cackle effectively daze lock the target?


actually daze is a bad choice because it only effects 4hd or less.

but suppose the witch takes beguiling gift as a spell hex.

she uses the beguiling gift spell hex and gives the bad guy a big fluffy pillow to hit an enemy with.

on the next turn when she cackles does that mean the bad guy has to continue to use the big fluffy pillow or does it mean that she has to give him a new gift?

(note: the pillow is a joke example of 'some useless weapon'. please dont get sidetracked arguing about whether or not the bad guy would be forced to use a pillow as a weapon)


Read the rules for cackle again. It doesnt work on spell hex.

Sadly none of this will work at all:

Cackle (Su): A witch can cackle madly as a move action. Any creature that is within 30 feet that is under the effects of an agony hex, charm hex, evil eye hex, fortune hex, or misfortune hex caused by the witch has the duration of that hex extended by 1 round.

It specifies the hexes that cackle works with, so you can't use it with any spell hex.


DOH!!!!

too right.

the hilarity of forcing some ogre to constantly bash me with a pillow instead of an ax was just too tempting.
