Paizo Peripheral Spells & Non-Core Classes


Rules Questions

Sovereign Court

Greetings,

While browsing spell lists for the witch and summoner on D20PFSRD.com I came upon some interesting entries in which a few spells (such as Infernal Healing) from Peripheral Books were on the lists.

My dilemma, such as it is, is that those spells in their original form were not on these lists (since the classes did not exist yet), nor were they mentioned in the APG.

Normally this would not be an issue, but every couple of months I happen to play in PFS games and I would like to know if one of the devs/errata/faqs/pfs guide had some sort of note stating whether spells from peripheral books (past, present, and future) are on the spell lists of the 'newer' classes (summoner, witch, magus, etc.) or if D20PFSRD is the 'official' reference.

The Exchange

d20pfsrd.com is not in any way remotely "official."

The PRD is the only "official" source (well besides the books of course.)

While we post "official" content, we also post "unofficial" content that has been converted from the 3.x edition of "that other game system" so for PFS play I'm almost certain none of that is legal.

Ah, that makes sense. I had wondered why only Infernal Healing and the Greater version were the only spells from the Gods & Magic book to make it onto various spell lists.

Although I will say that I had hoped otherwise.

Just to answer your other question. I can't speak for any unnamed spells but Infernal Healing was also in the new Inner Sea World Guide and the entry in that book adds the summoner, witch, and magus.
