Hey, all. (And hello to my DM if he's reading this.)

I'm having fun with my Witch character, but it looks like we're going to be venturing into an undead-infested area. Most of my best tricks are mind-affecting or require Fort saves, which means they won't work on undead. (We got chewed up a bit by ghouls last session.)

If all else fails, I can just keep on spamming Misfortune, which is my backup plan for defeating _anything_. :smallwink:

The good news is, I just made level 4, so I get more spells & another Hex. I already have Fortune, Misfortune, Cackle, Flight, and Healing. I was planning on taking Evil Eye, but I'm thinking of getting Ward this time instead?

Also what witch spells are good against undead? I already have Web, and I was thinking of getting Glitterdust.

Suggestions? The rest of the group are a Magus/Alchemist, a Druid/Rogue, and a Monk.

Cure various wounds spells aren't terrible at low levels, since they do double duty as damage and healing in that kind of scenario.

What is your patron?

Healing Hex works as an equivalent Cure spell, so there's some free damage against undead :D

Healing patron. So I get Lesser Restoration this level.

Do you need to make a touch attack to use Healing Hex as an attack? (My character has pathetic strength, so I might want to go with the Prehensile Hair hex in that case - I was planning on taking it eventually, anyway.)

Healing Hex is as the spell, so it would be a touch attack.
