Selecting starting spells and using them.


Rules Questions


New to pathfinder and I'm rolling a wizard. I want to confirm that I'm choosing spells right.

I'm an level 1 Elf Wizard with a 20 INT.

I start with all 0 level spells and 8 1st level ( int mod+ 3) spells in my spellbook. I can cast 3 0 level spells per day (being level 1) and 3 1st level spells (1 from being level 1 and 2 from having an int 20)

Do I got this right?

EDIT: Fixed the typo, it's 8 first level spells.


Yes, however I think you will have more 1St level spells in you're spell book because your modifier is +5, and remember your 0th level spells (cantrips) aren't expended when you cast them allowing you to cast them again and again.


That is correct Ludacrits.

As an aside is your name a play on the rapper Ludacris?


Acutaly you get 4 First level spells a day, if you focus into a school of magic. (1 for being level 1, 2 from high Int, and 1 from spelized school of magic)

and 3 Cantrips, which you never run out of.

Oh and any Scrolls you may have. You have the feat to make them, and they are fairly cheep.

Ah ok that makes sense. And I choose the 2 opposition schools right? It's not a graph type of thing like in 2nd ed dnd? How do scrolls work? Do you only get 1 use out of them?

I forgot to mention this character is for pathfinder society if that changes anything.


You only get the extra spell for being a specialist if you choose to be one.

Scrolls are a 1 use item.

You can use the scroll of any spell that is on your class list, but the spell has to be of a level that you can cast, and you need to have a high enough mental score.

If not then you may have issues. click here
