Expanding The Cackle Hex

[CalebTGordan]

We don't seem to get very many new hexes for the witch, at least not very often. Blood Of The Moon added a few, and Delicious Fright is a particularly good one. The only thing that would make it better is if it would work with Cackle. However, the original language of Cackle prevents not just this hex, but any hex released outside of the Advanced Players Guide to work with it. I feel this is a mistake, as some new hexes could, and probably should, be able to benefit from the Cackle hex.

I don't think Delicious Fright would be broken when combined with Cackle. It would really benefit from a sentence that simply said it can be extended with Cackle, and if there are any future hexes that could be used with it, they should have a similar sentence.

Do others agree or should Cackle only work with APG hexes?

This might have been the original intention, though probably difficult to future-proof to allow certain hexes that aren't yet made but disallow others.

[Ellis Mirari]

I agree. It's never come up at my table (alas I am the only witch player and I run the games) but if it did, that would be my call.

[CalebTGordan]

I am going to ask my GM in the game I play a witch in to allow Cackle to work with Delicious Fright.

In the games I GM I am going to allow it.

I hope the cackle hex is taken into account in future products that have new hexes.
