Knowledge (Arcana)Witch Doctor is a sub-class in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Witch Doctors draw upon their power to shape the world and expand the influence of their spiritual patrons. These divine adventurers have strong ties to natural spirits. They form powerful bonds with particular spirits, and as their power grows they learn to call upon other spirits in times of need.
"The witch doctor is a healer who specializes in afflictions of the soul. Often misunderstood, she protects her tribe with healing powers, powerful defensive magic, and her own divine 'witchcraft.'"

A shaman cannot select a hex more than once unless noted otherwise. Using a hex is a standard action that doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity unless otherwise noted. The saving throw DC to resist a hex is equal to 10 + 1/2 the shaman's level + the shaman's Wisdom modifier.

At 14th level, a shaman can select two wandering hexes each day instead of one. This ability otherwise functions as the hex class feature.
