Veneficus Witch Archetype : Which Hexes gets replaced?

[Gurior]

Hi.

I'm looking at the Veneficus Witch Archetype. Which states :
"This ability replaces the witch's 2nd- and 10th-level hexes."

I'm having trouble with the interpretation here.
the witch normally gets a single [normal] Hex at 2nd level, and both a [normal] Hex and a Major Hex at 10th level.

Does the wording indicates it replaces both the normal and major 10th level hexes? or just the normal hexes, leaving the Major one intact?

When reading other archetypes, it is pointed when one's references to a normal, major or Grand hex, such an exemple here :
"This ability replaces the major hex granted at 10th level."

I would like to combine two archetypes, but I must first make sure both do not replace the same class powers, which would make the combination invalid.

Thanks for your help.

I believe the witch only receives 1 hex at level 10.
"Major Hex: Starting at 10th level, and every two levels thereafter, a witch can choose one of the following major hexes whenever she could select a new hex."

I agree that the table is confusing, but the "Major Hex" ability only gives you access to that list of hexes. It doesn't give you a bonus hex in addition to that.

Agreed with Melkiador.

Oh.

Silly me, you are right.

I was looking too close at the witch class table, which reads at level 10 :
"Hex, major hex"

[S]he doesn't get both, it indeed just means you can choose a Major Hex whenever you get and additional Hex.

My bad, but thank you :)

This does imply you could still use the extra hex feat to pickup your missing 10th level hex as a greater hex.

True, but RAW, since both archetypes I was looking for "replaces the 10th level Hex", they are incompatible.

Although a very lenient GM might allow them to be combined on the condition you MUST pick the "Extra Hex" feat at level 10, and then anyway throw it out the window to satisfy the condition of "having replacing the 10th level hex class power" two times.

But i wouldn't count on that.
