Sorcerer Bonus spell at lvl 3 - How many times can I cast it?


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

At third level my Efreeti Sorcerer gets the Spell "Enlarge Person" as a bonus spell known.

Since this is a first level Wiz/Sorc spell I assume that I am free to cast it as many times a day as I am normally allowed to cast any other first level spell I have.

This may be a case of asked and answered but just checking.


At third level, you'll have a total of 6 1st-level spell slots available per day (assuming one bonus spell slot due to high charisma). You can use those 6 slots to cast any of your known 1st-level spells, regardless of if it's a regular spell known or a bonus spell known from your bloodline; they all use the same slots.

Edit: That might not answer your question; if so, perhaps this does: Bloodline bonus spells count as being at the highest spell level you're able to cast when you get them.

Say you have the following spells: enlarge person (b), mage armor, magic missile, and shield. Being 3rd-level you can cast these spells 6, maybe 7 times a day.

For example, you could cast enlarge person three times, mage armor once, and shield twice, or any other combination of spellcastings that add up to six (or seven if you are especially charismatic).

You do NOT get to cast each spell six times each (as would be the case with spell-like abilities).

In short, your bonus spell is treated just like all of your other spells known.

Hope that helps your understanding.

As you wrote you add it to your spells known list. So you can cast it as often as you still have level 1 spells left :-)
