Should Psychics have Magic Circle Against E / G / L / C on their spell list?


Rules Questions


9 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

Mediums, Spiritualists, and Occultists have it, but for some reasons Psychics don't even though they have Planar Binding on their list. Can anyone convince me this makes sense rather than being an oversight?

Proposed FAQ: Since Psychics have both Planar Binding and the related Agonize spells on their spell list, shouldn't they also have Magic Circle Against Evil/Good/Law/Chaos and/or the new Thaumaturgic Circle on their list so that they can effectively use Planar Binding? If not, what is the justification for giving them Planar Binding and Agonize without a circle spell for protection?


They should have Thaumaturgy which is the Psychic equivalent which is missing from their list.


I think they should have at least that, but since Spiritualists and Occultists get both Thamaturgic and alignment based circles arguably psychics should too. Plus the Protection From spell choices.

Apologies for the necro, but this came up in our group last night. It seems pretty clear that the psychic should have the magic circles spells or at leat the thaumaturgic circle spell in his spell list. Its hard to believe that he gets planar binding, dimensional door and agonize, but not the circles for binding.

I would teally appreciate an official clarification on this matter, as my dm is reluctant to use anything non-oficial.

So,

"Should a psychic have the magic circles against alignment spells in his spell list so he can use it in conjunction with his planar binding spells?"

If you mean the Theumaturgic circle spell, that could work as well.


Just checking in to see if there was a ruling on it yet.
