Simple Question - All the ways to get trapfinding or equivalent?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Just was wondering all the various ways thus far to get the trapfinding ability as a character.

Thus far I can think of:

Rogue
Investigator
Slayer (if chosen as a slayer talent)
Sorcerer - Seeker archetype
Alchemist - Trap breaker archetype

I think there's a second alchemist archetype that does it, and I know there's a ranger one but I can't remember which...

Oh and that one campaign trait.

Surely there's a lot more than these, right? I know there is. What am I missing?


Aram Zey's Focus as a 2nd level spell.

3rd level urban ranger
1st level trapper ranger
1st level seeker oracle (you mentioned the sorc, forgot the oracle)


(Trapper) Ranger and I think another one.
Bards have an archetype or two.


The Detective and Archaeologist archetypes for Bard both provide abilities similar to Trapfinding.


Guild Agent PrC- a rogue-y deal. Probably not worth it. Just dip rogue instead if you are that desperate.


Crypt Breaker Alchemist

VMC Rogue at 3rd level.


What is VMC?


Variant Multi-Classing, a new character building option from Pathfinder Unchained, where you exchange some feat progression for some of the abilities of another chosen class.

Your question isn't a simple one... there are too many classes, feats, archetypes, and traits to look over.

If you want to make your question "simple", tell us what you want trapfinding for. Do you want it for a specific class?


Not for a particular theme. I want a reference list, really. I thought someone really into rogue hate might just know off the top of their head. I didn't want anyone to have to research, I just figured someone might know a few more I didn't remember. Thanks to those who answered so far.

Its for future characters I can pick from in the event we need a trap springer, I can choose one regardless of party composition.
