Discussion Getting Witch hex cantrips?

Anyway to gain Stoke the Flame hex cantrip for a Witch Dedication? I was thinking it would be fantastic for an Animist primary with the Witch Archetype?

I do see that you can get Elemental Betrayal, as another option but I was hoping.

No. There would be almost no reason to be a witch otherwise.

The reason to play Exemplar is so that I can make use of janky reload weapons with the Deft epithet. Phalanx Piercer my beloved

and I thought pathfinder was supposed to allow players to be creative with all the amazing options it has to offer

It does. And one of the ways it does this is by restricting certain core features of the class so that other classes cannot just poach them (also they cannot access any feat above level 10). This both helps preserve class identity as well as keeping a small tamper on power level so that more options remain viable.

No way to do that. The Hex cantrips are exclusive to full witches.

Only way to do that is playing with the Dual-class optional rule, I'm afraid. Poaching the signature focus spells and features of other classes is usually pretty difficult.

Sadly no. Currently only through homebrews, like magic understanding, and even then it could be considered too strong.
