Leave some slots empty and fill them when needed.
This is what I do. Having those spell slots open is very nice for those utility spells, you might or might not do.
If you've spend all your offensive spells in the first encounters of the day, you might just stack up on additional of those.
so most think hedge witch not worth the cost of 2 hexes?
It is not that big a cost, since you get your 1st, 2nd and 6th level hexes, so you get to be a basic witch anyway.
So it isn't bad.It would depend a lot of the group. Without a healer, and without availiability of healing items, then it could be great.
In the games I play, the CLW wands tend to be standard equipment, so it is rare I see any character spend spell slots on cure spells. Because of this, the trade off is not one that I would make.
ok, than i think prefered spell is the ultimate way to go ...
what "one spell" is well worth the 2 feat cost?
need a spell that can be used ALOT
need a spell that can be subject to furute meta feats...was thinking ill omen VS ray of enfeebelment Vs ???
that spell need to be usuall enough to be replced with slots of much highter spell levels..
Thought about using level 2 spell at least for the specialization, if so I would say that both Blindness and Glitterdust would make good candidates, especially Glitterdust. Ill Omen is also good, maybe way too good if used via quicken or a familiar with wand. At least that is my thought about it.
