Boosting Wis without a headband (PFS)


Advice

Liberty's Edge

I have a 6th-level cleric in the Pathfinder Society campaign; he currently has a Wis score of 17, which I'm looking to boost somehow. The difficulty is that I'll probably buy a phylactery of positive channeling next level, taking up the headband slot, which rules out a headband of inspired wisdom.

What are the most cost-effective, PFS-legal avenues open to me to boost my cleric's Wisdom score over the next few levels?


Pretty much none. There's a +2 enhancement bonus from an Ioun Stone but that is 8k. If you are a casting Cleric then you are better off with the Headband.


I guess my question would be: why do you want higher wisdom?
More spells, higher spell DC, skill bonus, and will saves can all be increased by other means.


Some specific boons will apply bonuses of varying amounts and duration
Incandescent blue sphere ioun stones (probably your best, if expensive, bet)
I know of at least one old scenario that lists a periapt of wisdom from 3.5 days on the chronicle, I suppose its legal but I dont know for sure

Owl's Wisdom - you won't get the extra spell slots, but you will get the spell DC boost.

Alternatively - get a combined headband of positive channeling & wis - its PF legal, not sure about PFS. Costs 17,000gp (+2 Wis) or 32,500gp (+4 Wis)

PFS doesnt allow custom items.


tome of understanding - 27.500 gp.

join the lantern lodge and play through Way of the Ki-rin.
