Hex strike and split hex

[fireater]

Hex strike: When you gain this feat, choose one hex that you can use to affect no more than one opponent. If you make a successful unarmed strike against an opponent, in addition to dealing your unarmed strike damage, you can use a swift action to deliver the effects of the chosen hex to that opponent. Doing so does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Split hex: When you use one of your hexes (not a major hex or a grand hex) that targets a single creature, you can choose another creature within 30 feet of the first target to also be targeted by the hex.

My question is does split hex disqualify a hex for use with hex strike.

Bump.

Since Hex strike specifically says you can only use a hex that strikes one opponent, I would say yes- they are invalid to combine.

I have no clue if there is "official" information about them, however.

I'd argue Split Hex is an exception here. It's a feat that enhances a hex.

Obviously using Hex Strike on its own only affects one opponent, hence the wording; it wouldn't make any sense to call out Split Hex there.

I'd say it doesn't work. When you're using split hex that hex now targets two creatures, making it invalid for use with hex strike.
