First Level Abilities

Casting

A hedgewitch may combine spheres and talents to create magical effects. A hedgewitch is considered a Mid-Caster and may use either Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma as her casting ability modifier and must make this choice at 1st level. Once made, this choice cannot be changed. (Note: All casters gain 2 bonus talents and may select a casting tradition the first time they gain the casting class feature.)

Spell Pool

A hedgewitch gains a small reservoir of energy she can call on to create truly wondrous effects, called a spell pool. This pool contains a number of spell points equal to the base given by the table + her casting ability modifier (minimum: 1). This pool replenishes once per day after roughly 8 hours of rest.

Magic Talents

A hedgewitch gains a magic talent every time she gains a caster level, according to Table: Hedgewitch.

Artificer

You gain the Brew Potion feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. You also never suffer a chance to poison yourself when applying poison to a weapon. This counts as possessing the poison use class feature.

Treat your class level as your caster level when meeting the prerequisites of, and crafting items with, any Item Creation feat as well as when using and researching rituals. This stacks normally with caster levels gained from other sources.

Herbology

Your magical understanding of herbs is great enough that you may combine common herbs together and, mixing them with a little of your own magic, create a concoction. You may create concoctions a total number of times in a day equal to 3 + 1/2 your hedgewitch level. The materials required to craft a concoction are common herbs and as such are considered to have a negligible cost. Creating a concoction takes 1 minute and must be used within 1 hour or lose its potency.

Concoctions must be drunk (with the exception of herbalist’s poison) and can only affect living creatures. If a target is unwilling they are allowed a Fortitude save against a DC of 10 + 1/2 your hedgewitch level + your casting ability modifier to negate the effect.

You gain the following concoctions:

Empowering Concoction: The target gains a +2 alchemical bonus to one ability score of your choice (chosen when this concoction is created) and a -2 penalty to its inverse ability score (Strength’s inverse is Intelligence, Dexterity’s inverse is Wisdom, Charisma’s inverse is Constitution, etc.) This benefit lasts for 1 minute.

At 5th level, the target no longer suffers a penalty to their inverse ability score. At 9th level, this benefit lasts for 10 minutes. At 13th level, this benefit lasts for 1 hour. At 17th level, the benefit increases to +4.

Fortifying Concoction: The target gains a +2 alchemical bonus to one saving throw (Fortitude, Will, or Reflex) for 1 minute.

At 5th level, the target gains a +3 bonus to one saving throw. At 9th level, the benefit to their saving throw lasts 10 minutes. At 13th level, this benefit lasts 1 hour. At 17th level, the bonus applies to all saving throws.

Healing Concoction: The target is healed 1d6 hit points per 2 hedgewitch levels you possess (minimum: 1d6).

Herbalist’s poison: You may create an injury poison (Fort DC 10 + 1/2 your hedgewitch level + your casting ability modifier, frequency 1/rd for 6 rds, 1 save, effect 1d2 damage to an ability score that is chosen when creating the poison).

At 5th level, the ability damage increases to 1d4, and you may make the poison ingested instead of injury. At 9th level, you may make your herbalist poison inhaled or contact. In addition, you may change the effect to making the target confused for 1 round per level. At 13th level, your poison deals 1d6 ability damage. At 17th level, you may change the effect of your poison to making the target sleep for 1 hour. This sleep is especially heavy and is similar to the powerful sleep charm from the Mind sphere.

Fetish

You may bind one masterwork item to yourself as a fetish. You may enchant this item as if you possessed the prerequisite Item Creation feat, provided you meet that Item Creation feat’s other prerequisites, such as minimum caster level. You may change your fetish at any time by spending 8 hours binding a new one, but doing so causes your previous fetish to lose all of its magic, becoming an ordinary masterwork item again.
