Adding 'Inflict' spells to a Skald's spell list?

If this is not the best forum for this, feel free to move this or flag to have it moved.

I've long felt that Pathfinder was terribly biased against the undead and half-dead, and in few places is that more blatant than in the Bard/Skald spell list and the Alchemist/Investigator formula list, both/all of which feature cure wounds, but not inflict wounds.

This is a bummer in particular for one of my characters, a Dhampir Skald (not that he would describe himself as a 'Skald', but that's neither here nor there). Spell Kennings and their heavy limitations notwithstanding, is there any Society-legal way some or all of the inflict wounds spells can find their way onto the Bard/Skald spell list?


Those are on the witch list so a 6000 gp ring of spell knowledge II will allow inflict light wounds on to your spell list and spells known (or higher rings for the others.) Or infernal healing if you prefer.

Troll styptic (100 gp) gives you fast healing 2 for 2d4 rounds which works on dhampir and others alike.

Now there's an option I wasn't aware of! Thanks. Ultimate Equipment is a helluva thing.

That said, if anyone else out there has other ideas to contribute, I'm all ears!

Or just buy an Anatomy Doll, link it to yourself, and fail the Will Save each time you put a needle into it. For extra healing, give it to the Rogue to speed things up.

Now that is a WEIRD idea! I'm not 100% sure it would be my "Skald's" style, but I've got two other Dhampir characters who it might fit - and be a really good investment for - much better!
