ASHIFTAH

Also known as a “battle witch,” an ashiftah drifts like a phantom among enemy armies, calling down disaster upon their heads and weakening their resolve. Ashiftahs usually go veiled, and even their allies superstitiously believe that seeing their faces brings misfortune.

Protecting Veil:

An ashiftah’s veil is not merely a uniform, but a magical vestment imbued with power. Its ability to hold spells functions identically to a witch’s familiar. An ashiftah must veil herself and commune with her patron each day to replenish her spell points. This ability replaces familiar.

Ghostwalk (Su):

Starting at 2nd level, as a move action after using a hex, an ashiftah can become invisible as per vanish and can then take a 5-foot step. Using ghostwalk doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. This ability replaces the hex gained at 2nd level.

Deliver Touch Spells (Su):

Starting at 3rd level, an ashiftah can use her veil to deliver touch spells. After casting a touch spell, as a full-round action, she can tear a strip from her veil and whisper to it, designating a target. She then releases the scrap of fabric, which drifts on the wind to the target and delivers the spell as a ranged touch attack. The target must be within 20 feet of the witch. The veil mends itself after the spell is delivered.

Fog of War (Sp):

At 6th level, as a standard action, an ashiftah can blanket a 20-foot-radius area of the battlefield in a clammy mist that functions as per barrow haze, allowing her to treat any area within the mist as within 30 feet for purposes of her hexes, as long as some part of that area is within 30 feet of her. This replaces the hex gained at 6th level.
