Elves with this racial trait add +1 to saving throw DCs for spells of the divination school and sleep effects they cast. In addition, elves with a Charisma of 15 or higher may use dream once per day as a spell-like ability (caster level is equal to the elf’s character level). This racial trait replaces the elven immunities racial trait."Now...by strict reading, only the divination part specified "spells," sleep was referenced as "sleep effects."  So this should be a super awesome way to make Slumber even better and possibly propel elves past Tiefling for best Witch race.  But I'm guessing some DMs might houserule it to spells only, which would make it worthless to the witch, who has no real reason to bother with sleep spells.2) In a <a href="http://paizo.com/paizo/faq/v5748nruor1fz#v5748eaic9oaw" target="_blank">FAQ</a>, SKR slipped in an arbitrary buff for the Scar hex:"Fourth, the hex could benefit from a mechanical boost. Therefore, scarring a creature with the hex has two benefits: the witch can use any of her hexes on that creature at a range of up to one mile, and the witch is considered to have a body part from the target for the purpose of scry and similar divinations."Now, that's all well and good, because holy hell does the Scar hex uber suck.  But...it's really annoying how very important details like this are seemingly scattered across the web, and it's something that greatly irks me about Paizo.  I mean, that little tidbit is NOT on the d20pfsrd!  Rant aside, that buff makes scar into a very good way to buff hex allies from (far far far) far away, and leads to very synergistic, possibly even cheesy, uses with scrying.  So I should probably upgrade Scar to at least Green.</blockquote>
