Item of extra spells known


Rules Questions


hey all.

I know this existed in 3.5 but not sure on pathfinder..

Is there an item that gives an extra spell knows to a spont caster?

like the old runestaff or runestone. (i think they were called that)

Thanks for the help.

Why, my good man (or lady) you are in luck! There happens to be an item in Ultimate Equipment called the Page of Spell Knowledge!

UE:

Page of Spell Knowledge PRICE varies
1st-level 1,000 GP
2nd-level 4,000 GP
3rd-level 9,000 GP
4th-level 16,000 GP
5th-level 25,000 GP
6th-level 36,000 GP
7th-level 49,000 GP
8th-level 64,000 GP
9th-level 81,000 GP
AURA strong transmutation CL 17th WEIGHT —
This page is covered in densely-worded arcane or divine magical runes. It contains the knowledge of a single arcane or divine spell (chosen by the creator when the item is crafted). If the bearer is a spontaneous spellcaster and has that spell on her class spell list, she may use her
spell slots to cast that spell as if it were one of her spells known. A page of spell knowledge is priced based on the spell’s cleric or sorcerer/wizard spell level, unless the spell doesn’t appear on either of those spell lists, in which case it is based on the highest spell level as it appears on any other spell list. For example, a spell that is on the 4th-level inquisitor list and the 2nd-level paladin list is priced as a 4th-level spell.
Construction Requirements Cost varies
1st-level 500 GP
2nd-level 2,000 GP
3rd-level 4,500 GP
4th-level 8,000 GP
5th-level 12,500 GP
6th-level 18,000 GP
7th-level 24,500 GP
8th-level 32,000 GP
9th-level 40,500 GP
Craft Wondrous Item, creator must be able to cast the spell contained in the page

There is also the Ring of Spell Knowledge! The major difference between the two is that the ring can actually let you learn a spell that's not on your list (though treating it as one level higher)!

UE:

Ring of Spell Knowledge PRICE Varies
Type I 1,500 gp
Type II 6,000 gp
Type III 13,500 gp
Type IV 24,000 gp
AURA moderate or strong (no school) CL 7th WEIGHT —
This ring comes in four types: ring of spell knowledge I, ring of spell knowledge II, ring of spell knowledge III, and ring of spell knowledge IV. All of them are useful only to spontaneous arcane spellcasters. Through study, the wearer can gain the knowledge of a single spell in addition to those allotted by her class and level. A ring of spell knowledge I can hold 1st-level spells only, a ring of spell knowledge II 1st- or 2nd-level spells, a ring of spell knowledge III spells of 3rd level or lower, and a ring of spell knowledge IV up to 4th-level spells.
A ring of spell knowledge is only a storage space; the wearer must still encounter a written, active, or cast version of the spell and succeed at a DC 20 Spellcraft check to teach the spell to the ring. Thereafter, the arcane spellcaster may cast the spell as though she knew the spell and it appeared on her class’ spell list.
Arcane spells that do not appear on the wearer’s class list are treated as one level higher for all purposes (storage and casting).
Construction Requirements Cost varies
Type I 750 gp
Type II 3,000 gp
Type III 6,750 gp
Type IV 12,000 gp
Forge Ring, creator must be able to cast spells of the spell level to be granted


Thank you for the help.

I cannot wait until Ultimate Equipment hits the PRD.


the pdf is really cheap.


The PRD is free. :)


While thats true, it also does not support Paizo.

I like all the free stuff we get that is actually..... free. Like this board for example.

Yes the PRD is a great way to look stuff up my stance remains that if you want to use a book, buy the book.

And thats my thread derail for the day.


I've bought plenty of source (CRB, APG, UM, UC, ARG, B 1, ISWG and a few supplements like the NPC Codex) books and will continue to do so as I want/can. I don't feel bad at all for using the PRD to look up info in books I don't actually own, which is in the minority actually weee, or even using that info in my characters.

The topic was answered above from a pretty thorough source (UE) so I won't feel bad about feeding the derailment.


So is a Page of Spell Knowledge considered slotless? Do you just need to have the page on you to have the spell as part of your known spell list? Are you able to have multiple Page of Spell Knowledges?

This seems like a good way for the Sorcerer to build a good spell selection, unless you can only have one that is considered ‘active’ on you.


I'll be honest I wasn't really all that excited for UE as it was a "consolidated" equipment book... then I found out it was 400 pages, which meant lots of "new stuff." I happily bought the pdf the day it became available.


Ultimate equipment has a page (like a scroll) that sorcerers can carry to act as though they know a certain spell.

I guess that's what I get for not reading completely before I open my mouth. lol.


4 people marked this as FAQ candidate.

My oracle's gonna build up a nice big book of pages of spell knowledge :D

Anyone know if the pages of spell knowledge have to be held/touched/in possession of in backpack/read in order for the spell to be cast?


I would like to know this too.

Me too. I suggest clicking the FAQ button on Protoman's post (just a couple of posts above mine, and it'll show I've already clicked it).

Remember, the FAQ button flags the post, not the whole thread, so let's all get or flags on the right post, okay?


Boosted! Also, whether or not they can be bound together in a book. At which point, they just become a very expensive wizard's spellbook.

"If the bearer is a spontaneous spellcaster and has that spell on her class spell list, she may use her spell slots to cast that spell as if it were one of her spells known."

Bearer, not wielder, holder, or reader. Frodo was the bearer of the ring, even when it was on a chain around his neck, or in his pocket.

While it could certainly be reasonable to assume that you're not bearing the page if it's in your closet back at the lodge, or perhaps even when it's in another dimension (bag of holding), I don't think there's any possible way it is required to be held in hand or viewed in order to be used.

I use PFRPG rd which is an excellent lookup tool. I downvoted it because I consider the author's advertisement "Buy this.. not the books" to be a major case of "biting the hand that feeds you".
