Powerful Hexes

[Please Don't Kill Me]

So I am in the process of building a Scarred Witch and I realized I can have some of the highest DC Hexes around by level 8. Note: I am not doing this, this is much more optimized then the character I am making

Human- Barbarian 1/Scarred Witch 7
Feats: Racial Heritage, Raging Vitality, Ability Focus (Slumber Hex), Accursed Hex, ?

Stats: Con 18+ 2 Racial+ 2 Level, everything else is irrelevant for this scenario.

Equipment: Belt of Mighty Constitution +6, everything else is again irrelevant

Okay, so on your first action you enter rage as a free and then proceed to use your Slumber Hex against the enemy with a DC 27 (10 + 12 Con + 3 lvl + 2 Ability Focus). And on the off chance they save you can hit them again with it. Almost every non-caster character is going to be asleep.

For sake of argument, can you make this anymore powerful? Again, my character is going to be very well balanced in terms of stats and feats. I am not trying to powergame this, it is all theorycraft.

Cackle and find a way to CDG as a standard action.

[Arbane the Terrible]

Cackle doesn't affect Slumber. It will affect Evil Eye and Misfortune, which they'll probably also want, though.

Prehensile Hair? If you get bored with Hexes, you'll be beating people up with an effective 30-odd Strength and 10-foot reach.

I like Prehensile Hair. Also, for Hexes with saves, you can take ability focus for that Hex.

yes, this is why it is an orc only archetype, and absolutly banned in PFS. its just about the greatest caster archetype created by paizo.

and add in raging vitality for +2 more con. also if you really wanted to get what ever you were trying to hex, cast moment of greatness before. for a +12 to con while raging instead of just +6.

On the contrary, it is an orc and human archetype. Humans are eligible for any and all racial archetypes thanks to the Racial Heritage Feat. for the price of one feat you can be anything that your heart desires!

its a very grey area right now. and i have a sneaking feeling like paizo will jump on the forums soon telling us that it doesnt work the way we thought... like monks lol

[Please Don't Kill Me]

I was worried about that too, that is until I saw this:

Quote:

Can a human with the Racial Heritage feat take levels in an archetype that requires you to be of a specific race?

Yes, the Racial Heritage feat allows you to qualify for archetypes that have the chosen race as a requirement, assuming you still meet all of the other requirements to take levels in the archetype.

That can be found in the Advanced Player's Guide FAQ. It is awsome.

sweet, now i can make my gm cry with a con stacked barbarian with wands of fast healing and cure serious wounds.

[blackbloodtroll]

I spent two weeks vigilantly bugging paizo to get that answered.
Over a 109 FAQ marks on a 150 post thread.

I have no doubts that it works.
