Someone asked here about the missing Arcane skill on Feiya. If you'll notice, none of the witches have Arcane or Divine skill. They receive those skills from their Familiars/Cohorts.

This is not an error.


I was wondering about this from when I attempted to play Seasons of the Runelords Scenario # 2-1B with my nephews using Witch Feiya. I don't know anything about cohorts, so I assumed that you roll 1d4 since she had no Arcane nor Divine skill.

I guess I ought to study Wrath of the Righteous Rulebook to see what "Cohorts" are.

Also, you should look at the card list on the back of the character cards. They list what Cohort you should be using for that character.

Yes, you should read the section of the rules on Cohorts.

Also remember, that the way you played, you do not have the Arcane or Divine skill ... so you would be banishing spells and not discarding them.


Or discarding them to use for certain rods and staves. That is mainly what I used Spells for, or a one-time use before banishing them. It was better to discard them with a staff, or "use them as a hit point to soak up damage."

The rules card in the Witch deck specifically says "These cards use some concepts introduced in the Wrath of the Righteous set. Please visit paizo.com/PACG to download a PDF of the latest version of the rulebook."


I feel very dumb now. I remember reading that insert with Class Deck Alchemist about "Invokes," but usually use that card as a divider/placeholder between my active deck and the Allies I'm not using. I thought it just said the same old thing as the Fighter, Bard, etc.

EDIT: And I feel especially dumb since I set aside the Rise of the Runelords Rulebook and keep a color print-out of Wrath of the Righteous Rulebook as its rules.
