Witches known spells


Rules Questions


I was looking at the witches page online and I don't see any text defining the number of spells pre-level a witch can add to her familiar. I could just be blind and not see it I suppose. If I had to guess it works like the wizards spell list 2 per level and 2 plus casting modifier at the first level. Is this correct?

At level 1 the witch gets 3 level 1 spells plus int modifier. Its on page 67 of the APG.

Shadow Lodge

This is hard to find, not where you'd expect - it's with the rules about the familiar.

For how many you start with (3+Int):

A witch’s familiar begins
play storing all of the 0-level witch spells plus three 1stlevel
spells of the witch’s choice. The witch also selects
a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to her
Intelligence modifier to store in her familiar.

Adding Spells to a Witch’s Familiar
Witches can add new spells to their familiars through
several methods. A witch can only add spells to her familiar
if those spells belong to the witch’s spell list.
Spells Gained at a New Level: A witch’s familiar learns a
certain amount of lore and magic as the witch adventures.
Whenever a witch gains a level, she may add two spells
from the witch spell list to her familiar. The two free spells
must be of spell levels she can cast.
Familiar Teaching Familiar: A witch’s familiar can learn
spells from another witch’s familiar. To accomplish this,
the familiars must spend one hour per level of the spell
being taught in communion with one another. At the end
of this time, the witch whose familiar is learning a spell
must make a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + spell level). If the
check succeeds, the familiar has learned the spell and the
witch may utilize it the next time she prepares spells. If
the check fails, the familiar has failed to learn the spell
and cannot try to learn that spell again until the witch has
gained another rank in Spellcraft. Most witches require a
spell of equal or greater level in return for this service. If
a familiar belongs to a witch that has died, it only retains
its knowledge of spells for 24 hours, during which time it
is possible to coerce or bribe the familiar into teaching its
spells to another, subject to GM discretion.
Learn from a Scroll: A witch can use a scroll to teach
her familiar a new spell. This process takes 1 hour per level
of the spell to be learned, during which time the scroll
is burned and its ashes used to create a special brew or
powder that is consumed by the familiar. This process
destroys the scroll. At the end of this time, the witch must
make a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + spell level). If the check
fails, the process went awry in some way and the spell is
not learned, although the scroll is still consumed.
