Differences on Witch
// Witch with the Ley Line Guardian Archetype, up to level 5 with options that won't be picked regardless removed //
Some gain power through study, some through devotion, others through blood, but the witch gains power from her communion with the unknown. Generally feared and misunderstood, the witch draws her magic from a pact made with an otherworldly power. Communing with that source, using her familiar as a conduit, the witch gains not only a host of spells, but a number of strange abilities known as hexeboons. As a witch grows in power, she might learn about the source of her magic, but some remain blissfully unaware. Some are even afraid of that source, fearful of what it might be or where its true purposes lie.
Some witches tap into the power of their patrons not through a special connection with a familiar, but rather directly through the vast network of ley lines that crosses the planes. These witches can harness the latent powers of ley lines without even needing to be near one of the points where ley lines' powers are accessible to mortal spellcasters.
**Role:** While many witches are recluses, living on the edge of civilization, some live within society, openly or in hiding. The blend of witches' spells makes them adept at filling a number of different roles, from seer to healer, and their hexeboons grant them a number of abilities that are useful in a fight. Some witches travel about, seeking greater knowledge and better understanding of the mysterious powers that guide them.

==== Class Features ====
The following are the class features of the witch.
---- Weapon and Armour Proficiency ----
Witches are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armour or shield. Armour interferes with a witch's gestures, which can cause her spells with somatic components to fail.
---- Code of Conduct ----
The witch is bound by a code of conduct agreed upon with the entity with whom they have made arrangements. Aurora requires the following:
* Must be kind to empowered animals
* Must visit any Fount known at earliest (reasonable) opportunity
* Must train physical body
* Must show bright colours on physical body, in particular brighter than others in your group
---- Spells ----
Instead of preparing her spells, a ley line guardian witch draws the power casting spells directly from ley lines. A ley line guardian is a spontaneous spellcaster. She knows the same number of spells and receives the same number of spell slots per day as a sorcerer of her witch level. Bonus spells granted by a ley line guardian's patron are added to the ley line guardian's total spells known at the appropriate levels. This ability alters the witch's spellcasting.
---- Cantrips ----
Witches can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table 2–10 under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. Cantrips prepared using other spell slots, due to metamagic feats for example, are expended normally.
---- HexWitch's Familiar (Ex) ----
At 1st level, a witch forms a close bond with a familiar, a creature that teaches her magic and helps to guide her along her path as a representative of her patron.
Unlike a wizards Familiar, the witch's familiar has no physical form, but rather is an energy projection by the patron using the Witch's energy. The exact form of the familiar is determined by the Witch's subconscious, but is always immaterial and translucent, making it obvious the familiar is not a real creature.
Because it is immaterial, the familiar is immune to all forms of damage but disappears if attacked, reappearing no sooner than one minute after that attack, at the whim of the Witch (or the patron). And because it is a projection, the familiar cannot move more than 100 feet away from the Witch.
The familiar is generally aware of the goals of the patron, which it communicates to the Witch to nudge her in the 'right' direction, according to the patron's general plans.
The Witch can commune with the familiar to regain her used spells after re-inscription. Besides allowing the witch to regain spells after re-inscription, the familiar grants the following additional abilities:
* The Witch has an empathic link with her familiar, allowing empathic communication. The Witch cannot see through the familiars eyes, and the link is limited in nature so only general emotions can be shared. The Witch has the same connection to an item or place that her familiar does.
* While the familiar is within arms reach of the Witch, the Witch gains the benefit of the Alertness feat
* While present, the familiar grants the Witch a +3 bonus on Acrobatics checks.
* At 5th level, the familiar and the Witch can communicate verbally. The familiar uses her own language which other creatures cannot understand without magical help, though the Witch speaks in her normal languages.
---- Conduit Surge (Su) ----
At 1st level, a ley line guardian is adept at channelling energy from ley lines to enhance her own spells. As a swift action, she can increase her effective caster level for the next spell she casts in that round by 1d4–1 levels. After performing a conduit surge, the ley line guardian must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + level of spell cast + number of additional caster levels granted) or become staggered for a number of minutes equal to the level of the spell cast. At 8th level, the caster level increase becomes 1d4. She can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier.
---- Boons ----
Witches learn a number of magic tricks, called hexeboons, that grant them powers or weaken foes.

At 1st level, the witch can curse an animal, plant creature, or plot of land, causing it to witheruse feather fall at will and die. Blighting an area takes 1 round, during which time the witch must be in contact with the target. If it's used on a plot of land, the land begins to wither the following day, and over the next week all plants in the area die. Nothing will grow in that area so long as the curse persists. A witch can affect an area with a radius equal to her class level × 10 feet. Blighting a creature is a standard action that requires a melee touch attack. If used on a creature of the animal or plant type, the creature gains the following curse: Blight Hex—type curse; save Will negates; frequency 1/day; effect 1 Con damage. Both types of curse can be removed with a remove curse or similar magic, using the save DC as the DC to remove the curse. A witch can only have one blight in effect at a time. If another blight hex is made, the first immediately ends.
**Cackle (Su)**: A witch can cackle madly as a move action. Any creature that is within 30 feet that is under the effects of an agony hex, charm hex, evil eye hex, fortune hex, or misfortune hex caused by the witch has the duration of that hex extended by 1 round.

This boon only affects the witch.
**Fortune (Su)**: The witch can grant a creature within 30 feet a bit of good luck for 1 round. The target can call upon this good luck once per round, allowing him to reroll any ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, taking the better result. He must decide to use this ability before the first roll is made. At 8th level and 16th level, the duration of this boon is extended by 1 round. Once a creature has benefited from the fortune boon, it cannot benefit from it again for 24 hours.
**CharmExternal Channel (Su)**: A// (New Boon) // After activating a Conduit Surge, but before casting a spell, the witch may use this boon as a standard action to further power up the Conduit Surge. Doing so requires a source of energy channels in the area, such as can charm an animalbe provided by a city, or humanoid creature within 30 feet by beckoning and speaking soothing words. This improves the attitude of an animal or humanoid creature by 1 step, as if the witch had successfully used the Diplomacy skill. a willing participant who voluntarily commits one of their channels.
The effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the Witch's Intelligence modifier. 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. At 8th level, this effect improves the attitude of the target creature by 2 steps. This is a mind-affecting charm effect.
**Coven (Ex)**: The witch counts as a hag for the purpose of joining a hag's coven. The coven must contain at least one hag.

This boon can be activated multiple times in a row to power up the same Conduit Surge, but a new source of energy channels is required each time. It cannot be used on the same source multiple times, even if there are multiple channels available from that source.
The difficulty of the Fortitude save to avoid being staggered is increased by one for every additional source (not including the increase from the higher number of additional caster levels) thus becoming 10 + level of spell cast + number of additional caster levels granted + number of additional sources.
**Forward Friendly Fire (Su)**: // (New Boon) // This boon is used to forward a spell or spell-like effect by a friendly caster, effectively allowing the witch to extend the range of another caster by serving as a relay point.
When the witch is targeted by a damage dealing spell or spell-like effect by a friendly caster, such as a Magic Missile, Acid Arrow or Scorching Ray she may, as an Immediate Action, choose a new target for 1 round. the spell. The new target must be within the range of the spell counting from the location of the Witch (using the Witch' caster level to calculate if the spell has a variable range).

At 5th level, this boon also works for area of effect spells, so long as the witch is within the original area of effect of the spell or spell-like effect.
==== Patron Spells ====
At 1st level, the witch must select a patron. This patron is a vague and mysterious force, granting the witch power for reasons that she might not entirely understand.

After performing a conduit surge, the ley line guardian must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + level of spell cast + number of additional caster levels granted) or become staggered for a number of minutes equal to the level of the spell cast.

If the save is failed, the target must make a new save each night or be unable to rest.
**Retribution (Su)**: A witch can place a retribution hex on a creature within 60 feet, causing terrible wounds to open across the target's flesh whenever it deals damage to another creature in melee. Immediately after the hexed creature deals damage in melee, it takes half that damage (round down). This damage bypasses any resistances, immunities, or damage reduction the creature possesses. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the witch's Intelligence modifier. A Will save negates this effect.
**Vision (Su)**: A witch with the vision hex can grant a glimpse of the future to a creature touched.

At the end of this time, the subject receives a brief image of the future, usually no more than 1 year from the time of the vision, subject to GM discretion. This is only one possible version of the future, making such visions unreliable at best. Most visions are slanted toward the alignment of the witch that granted them. For example, the visions granted by a chaotic evil witch often show scenes of death and destruction, while those of a neutral good witch tend to be of joyous events or occasions. A creature cannot be subject to another vision until the current vision has either come to pass or been prevented. A witch cannot use this ability on herself. Unwilling creatures receive a Will save to negate the vision.
**Waxen Image (Su)**: The witch can spend a full-round action to create a crude and unnerving wax duplicate of a creature she can see within 30 feet. Once the image is complete, the subject must make a Will save. If the subject fails, the witch gains a small measure of control over the creature. Whenever she exercises this control, the creature receives a new Will save to end the effect. This effect occurs on the witch's turn and does not impede the creature's actions on its turn. The witch can use the waxen image a number of times equal to her Intelligence modifier before it melts. As a standard action, the witch can cause the subject to do any one of the following things: move up to the creature's speed in any direction, attack itself once with any weapon in hand (this attack automatically hits), lay down on the ground, or drop anything held. Alternatively, she can spend one of her uses to simply torture the image, causing the creature to be both sickened and staggered on its turn. As soon as the creature has succeeded on a saving throw against this effect, it is immune to it for 24 hours. The is an enchantment (compulsion) effect.
**Weather Control (Su)**: A witch with this hex can use control weather once per day, but creating the weather takes 1 full hour of chanting and dancing.
---- Grand Hex ----
Starting at 18th level, and every two levels thereafter, a witch can choose one of the following grand hexes whenever she could select a new hex.
**Death Curse (Su)**: This powerful hex seizes a creature's heart, causing death within just a few moments. This hex has a range of 30 feet. The hexed creature receives a Will save to negate the effect. If this save is failed, the creature becomes fatigued the first round of the hex. On the second round of the hex, the creature becomes exhausted. On the third round, the creature dies unless it succeeds at a Fort save. Creatures that fail the first save but succeed at the second remain exhausted and take 4d6 points of damage + 1 point of damage per level of the witch. Slaying the witch that hexed the creature ends the effect, but any fatigue or exhaustion remains. Whether or not the saves are successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.
**Eternal Slumber (Su)**: The witch can touch a creature, causing it to drift off into a permanent slumber. The creature receives a Will save to negate this effect. If the save fails, the creature falls asleep and cannot be woken. The effect can only be removed with a wish or similar magic, although slaying the witch ends the effect. The witch can use this ability to poison food or drink, causing those who ingest it to make a save or fall into an eternal slumber. She can only have one such dose of poison at any one time, and it loses its potency after 1 minute if not consumed. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.
**Forced Reincarnation (Su)**: The witch causes a creature within 30 feet to die and be immediately reincarnated into a new body. A Will save negates this effect. Those that fail are slain and immediately brought back to life with the spell reincarnate. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.
**Life Giver (Su)**: Once per day the witch can, as a full round action, touch a dead creature and bring it back to life. This functions as resurrection, but it does not require a material component.
**Natural Disaster (Su)**: A witch using this hex calls down the forces of nature to wreak havoc on an area. This functions as a storm of vengeance combined with an earthquake that occurs on the second round of the effect (while acid is raining from the sky). A witch must concentrate for the duration of this effect. If disrupted, the effect immediately ends. A witch can only use this ability once per day. [[notes/Prometheus]]
