I was looking at the Witch Dedication [APG 154] and comparing it to the Wizard Dedication [CR 231]. A PC with the Wizard Dedication can get the initial school spell with the Arcane School Spell feat. But, I do not see a way for a PC with the Witch Dedication to get access to the Hex Cantrip associated with their Patron and the Phase Familiar Hex. They could break into Hexes with the Basic Lesson feat, but the cantrip and Phase Familiar are seemingly unavailable.

It could very well be that Phase Familiar and the Hex Cantrip are just Witch exclusive abilities. I guess I'm just wondering if anybody noticed something I'm missing (i.e., some alternative path for getting access to the Hex Cantrip).

Honestly, my initial instinct would be that there should be a Witch Dedication feat, similar to the Arcane School Spell feat, that gives the character a Focus Point, the Patron's Hex Cantrip, and Phase Familiar.


You're not overlooking anything; a witch only ever gets one hex cantrip at character creation and the dedication can't get one. However, consider that the wizard dedication can't get a bonded item or arcane thesis. It seems to me like the witch dedication is missing out on less.
