This is about the Lay to Rest Hex.
As a Grand Hex, one would think this would be powerful. Here is the description, though:
"The witch may target a single undead creature with this hex as if with an undeath to death spell. A Will save negates this effect. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day."
RAW, this means you can't affect any undead with more than 9 HD. This, of course, makes the hex 100% useless since you can't take it until Level 18, which means you will never see an undead with 9 HD. Add to the fact that this is more limited than Undeath to Death (single target vs. AoE0), and you have a hex that is objectively worse than the spell it mimics (which is a horrible spell to begin with).
As such, there absolutely needs to be errata or this hex will literally never see play.
Suggestion #1: Remove the HD limit, as with the Slumber Hex.
OR
Suggestion #2: Make it a regular hex that can be taken at Level 1.
I would go with Suggestion #1, truth be told. I hope someone with authority reads this. Should it be tagged for FAQ?
