Cursed Witch (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

A witch, mistress of curses, sometimes labors under a curse or hex herself. This curse is intimately woven into the source of her power, her patron might be an enemy of whoever cursed her or the curse might be a magical mark or condition from her patron.

Class Information

This is a witch archetype with an oracle's curse.

Hit Die: d6.

Class Features

This cursed witch has all normal witch class features, except as noted.

Spells (Arcane)

A cursed witch is a spontaneous caster that uses Charisma as a casting ability. A cursed witch casts and learns spells like a sorcerer, except that that they use the witch spell list. A cursed needs the presence of her familiar when she prepares spell slots, but does not store her spells in her familiar. This modifies the spells class feature.

Hex

A cursed witch gains more hexes at low level, but fewer hexes overall. She gains a hex at level 1, 2, 3, and every third level after level 3.

Patron Spells

A cursed witch adds her patron spells to her spell list and list of known spells as soon as she can cast them. This is a modification to the patron spells ability.

Witch's Curse

A cursed witch suffers under an oracle's curse. See also apath oracle's curses. All references to the oracle class, spell list, or levels instead apply to the cursed witch equivalent.
