Adding Spells to a Class Spell List


Rules Questions


So, in looking for ways to improve on my Stunning Fist DC, I've stumbled upon the Nightmare Striker feat.

Now, this is a completely atrocious way of boosting the Stunning Fist DC (a three-feat investment? Come on!) But more to the point... as far as I can tell, the only build that can benefit from this a monk-druid, or a druid who got Stunning Fist somehow, or I guess a rogue with the appropriate Rogue talent and feats (admittedly possible, but...)

I mean, this feat chain is aimed at absurdly specific builds. Unless I'm missing something, which is definitely possible.

So, is there a way for someone to either add a spell to their class spell list, or get a one-spell spellcasting ability that I missed?


I think this thread has the wrong title.

Silver Crusade

Most likely, this feat chain was aimed toward Tieflings and Drow who naturally can use Darkness as a spell like ability. Most notably, Drow get both that and Faerie Fire. Look at the Dragon Empires Primer if you get a chance. I think there were a few Stunning Fist related feats in there if I'm not mistaken.

Checking the Feat:
Needs the ability to cast Faerie Fire

Checking Faerie Fire:
It's Druid 1 / Domain (light) 1

I know there's a couple ways to get a domain and domain spells.

I'd have sworn there's a way to get a first level spell once a day as an SLA, but I can't find it ATM.

Good point, I didn't think of those non-standard races. The feat chain makes a lot more sense that way.

That said, I'm more interested in knowing if there's a way to give a single spell to a generic character. But it's more idle curiosity than anything else, really :)

I don't know of a generic way to get a single 1st-level spell via a feat in PF RAW. Rogues can do it via the Major Magic rogue talent. I'm reasonably confident that 3.5 had some way to do this, so you might be able to import it if your GM is okay with it.
