So I was thinking of rolling a character using the above archetype, and I am curious about the White Hair ability, specifically:
"In addition, whenever the hair strikes a foe, the witch can attempt to grapple that foe with her hair as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity, using her Intelligence modifier in place of her Strength modifier when making the combat maneuver check. When a white-haired witch grapples a foe in this way, she does not gain the grappled condition."
Would casting a spell that required a touch attack count as striking a foe? If so that makes this a potentially interesting avenue, especially since I rarely use touch based spells.
You get a free attempt to deliver a touch attack upon casting the spell, but this is not done with the hair, the hair is a natural attack and requires a standard action or full attack to use.
You can hold the charge indefinitely to be released with any natural attack or touch attack in the future. The witch's hair is a natural attack. This means you do not have to use the spell on the round it was cast, or you can both cast the spell without discharge AND attack with Quicken.
Whenever the hair strikes a foe and you have a held charge of a touch spell, you will automatically discharge the spell AND get a free attempt to grapple.
