Hello everyone!

My character in my PFRPG game is an enchanter (mostly because of character concept, he's a borderline pacifist and prefers methods of ending fights that doesn't involve bloodshed), but the core list of enchanter spells is a little lacking, though the ones it does have are nice. (The level 0 becomes completely useless after level 4, for example.)

I've got the two arcane 'complete' books as well as MoF, but the enchantment spells are often overlooked, it seems, in the splats. It isn't uncommon for there to be /no/ enchantment spells of a particular level in these books.

Can anyone recommend a good source of spells for a would be halfling enchanter?

Haven't used them myself but both the Encyclopaedia Arcana Ecnahntment and Dweomercraft Enchantment are available on RPGnow and they should have at least some enchantment spells.

Thank you! Very Helpful!


I discovered an awesome sorcerer enchanter concept almost by chance for the Council of Thieves adventure path. Since the module presents the possibility to play as a teifling, I needed to take advantage of such a chance. The module includes several different teifling origins that modify the ability score increases of the race. My GM rolled on the table and it was determined that my character's teifling blood came from a Kyton (+2 dex, +2 cha, -2 int).

After said ability modifications, tack on the teifling Fiendish Sorcery ability which causes teifling sorcerers to treat their charisma score as 2 higher for all sorcerer class abilities (including class skills, bonus spell slots, and spell save DCs). Being that the module takes place in Cheliax and that Kytons are LE, the infernal blood line puts the icing on the cake with the Bloodline Arcana ability which grants +2 to DCs from the Charm subschool.

Finally, I took the Charming social trait from the APG because it grants a +1 to Bluff and Diplomacy (two of the most important skills for any enchanter) and a +1 to the DC of any language dependent spells (a category that most of the nastiest enchantment spells fall into).

My 1st level sorceress started with a natural charisma score of 18.

18+2 (for Kyton blood) +2 (effective ability score bonus for Fiendish Sorcery) = a Cha score of a whopping 22! That means 1st level spells start at a DC 17 before any mods from bloodline arcana and the Charming trait.

My sorceress casts Charm:
17 base DC + 2 for bloodline arcana +1 for being language dependent = DC 20!

Just wait until I get spell focus... *80's supervillian laughter ensues*
