Corset of Dire Witchcraft

How do I get the bonus to apply to the DC of the hex? Is there a checkbox or something?

Corset of Dire Witchcraft. Its nice to provide a link to what your talking about as not everyone has every item or Thing from Pathfinder memorized.

Apply what DC? The item does not give any bonus to DC. The item says "enhance one hex she knows, increasing its caster level by +2" so that is Cater Level not DC. As most Hexes have little use for Caster Level it won't have allot of effect except for maybe the duration of a few.

The other thing this would affect is a roll vs SR as you would be 2 higher.

Shadow, you are being pedantic of with save vs DC. the corset should increase the DC of one hex, as per this part of the item:

"she may enhance one hex she knows, increasing its caster level by +2 for 24 hours. "

For nearly all the witches hexes, the DC to save is tied to caster level:

"he save to resist a hex is equal to 10 + 1/2 the witch’s level + the witch’s Intelligence modifier"

anyhow, I reported this exact same issue about 6 months ago to the HeroLab bug tracker, got a message from Mathais saying he'd look at it when able, but no fix yet.

The item does not change the witch's level, only the caster level of the ability. They are two different things. A 6th level witch does not increase to an 8th level witch by donning the corset. The power of the hex is increased, not the level of the character.

Yep correct. Which is why I said it does not affect DC.

If you want it to work that way of adding +1 to the DC the easy way to do this is to go to the "Adjust" tab and under "Other Adjustments" add "Ability: DC" and you should be able to select the hex and set the counter to +1.
