Battle Points:

These are abilities that you can apply to singular instances where you would have to make a roll or use a defense. Battle points require no action to use.

You may use a maximum number of battle points on one Stunt equal to half your base attack bonus, rounded up. For example, a 5th level Fighter wants to make an attack roll and spend as many battle points as he can (in this case, 3). He could use a Three Battle Point Offensive Stunt, a Two Battle Point Offensive Stunt combined with a One Battle Point Offensive Stunt, or three One Battle Point Offensive Stunts. You can apply the same Stunt twice. For example, the same 5th level Fighter could use 3 Battle Points to give himself 45% miss chance against one attack by using the same One Battle Point Defensive Stunt 3 times.

Choose whether or not you are spending battle points on this stunt before you make your attack roll. On a successful attack roll, your opponent is dazed until next turn if they fail their Fortitude save (10 + 1/2 BAB rounded down + Str modifier).
Choose whether or not you are spending battle points on this stunt before you make your attack roll. On a successful attack roll, your opponent must make a Fort save each round (10 + 1/2 BAB rounded down + Str modifier) or take a -5 foot penalty to speed. This condition lasts until the subject of the condition regains hit points, either by mundane or magical means. You may not spend multiple battle points to increase the speed penalty for this stunt.
Ignore an opponent’s armor bonus to AC for one attack.
Ignore an opponent’s shield bonus to AC for one attack.
For one attack, treat a light or one handed weapon as a two handed weapon for the purposes of determining how much of your Str modifier you add to damage, and the damage bonus Power Attack grants.

Against one attack, you may use your normal AC instead of your touch AC.
Against one attack, you may use your normal AC instead of your flat footed AC.
You may replace a Fortitude save with an Athletics check.

Battle Points:
Certain classes have access to battle points. These classes gain a number of battle points per day equal to their highest base attack bonus times three. These are abilities that you can apply to singular instances where you would have to make a roll or use a defense. Battle points require no action to use.
Battle Points are divided into offensive stunts and defensive stunts. Offensive stunts effect your actions on your turn (usually an attack), whereas defensive stunts effect you when it is not your turn.
You may use a maximum number of battle points on one Stunt equal to half your base attack bonus, rounded up. For example, a 5th level Fighter wants to make an attack roll and spend as many battle points as he can (in this case, 3). He could use a Three Battle Point Offensive Stunt, a Two Battle Point Offensive Stunt combined with a One Battle Point Offensive Stunt, or three One Battle Point Offensive Stunts. You can apply the same Stunt twice. For example, the same 5th level Fighter could use 3 Battle Points to give himself 45% miss chance against one attack by using the same One Battle Point Defensive Stunt 3 times.

Choose whether or not you are spending battle points on this stunt before you make your attack roll. On a successful attack roll, your opponent is dazed until next turn if they fail their Fortitude save (10 + 1/2 BAB rounded down + Str modifier).
Choose whether or not you are spending battle points on this stunt before you make your attack roll. On a successful attack roll, your opponent must make a Fort save each round (10 + 1/2 BAB rounded down + Str modifier) or take a -5 foot penalty to speed. This condition lasts until the subject of the condition regains hit points, either by mundane or magical means. You may not spend multiple battle points to increase the speed penalty for this stunt.
Ignore an opponent’s armor bonus to AC for one attack.
Ignore an opponent’s shield bonus to AC for one attack.
For one attack, treat a light or one handed weapon as a two handed weapon for the purposes of determining how much of your Str modifier you add to damage, and the damage bonus Power Attack grants.

Witches never gain spells of a higher level than third. Additionally, all spell effects that scale with level cap at a maximum of 6th level.
At level 8, a Witch learns one 8th level effect from either the Druid or the Sorcerer/Wizard 8th-level list. The Witch may cast this 8th level effect once per day.
Witch familiars can store spells equal to 3 x the Sorcerer’s spells known. Since Sorcerers learn spells of a new level a level later than other classes, treat the Witch as having 1 2nd-level spell in his/her familiar at 3rd level, and 1 3rd-level spell in his/her spell book at 5th level.
Pathfinder Ultimate Magic
The Magus can have spells in his/her spell book equal to 3 x the Sorcerer’s spells known (but he or she still prepares spells).
The Magus does not gain 3rd level spells at 7th level. Instead, he or she gains a single 3rd level Magus spell known, and a single 3rd level spell per day (spell per day not affected by ability scores) at level 8.
