witch patron spells

[J-Bone]

Can a witch gain spells outside of both his regular spell list and patron spells by scribing or other methods if that spell is granted by a seperate patron not associated with the PC witch?

[Avatar-1]

How is another patron going to grant the witch spells? Usually that's not possible - the witch chooses only one patron ever.

Sounds like houserule territory.

Yeah its a situation that's been developing at my game table with one of the players. Tonight was the second time I caught him pulling this.

From the witch's familiar section:

"A witch can only add spells to her familiar if those spells belong to the witch’s spell list."

Crystal clear.

Yeah, if you want to add spells not on your list, then you are getting into spell research territory. So, it's totally possible for a witch to have every single spell in the game. It's just going to cost her a few trillion gold and she better be immortal for all the time it will take (Baba Yaga has every spell in the game researched, says so in her Reign of Winter stat block)
