Ways to add spells from other class' spell lists?


Advice


How many ways can one class gain one or more spells from another class' spell lists?

I remember having read a few others, either in traits, feats, or archetypes; however it is very late and I cannot think right now, to remember any of them. The only one I can recall for certain (since I just saw it a few moments ago) is the bard's magician archetype Expanded Repertoire ability.

But I know there are others... I just can't remember them.


Off the top of my head:

Be a Samsaran (Mystic Past Life)

Be a Magus (Spell Access)

Be an Agent of the Grave (at 5th level they can add Int mod spells from another list to their own)

Be a Samsaran Magus (two of the above! Guess which =p)

Two-World Magic trait can do 0-level spells too.


The Feat 'Improved Eldritch Heritage (arcane)' lets you add spells from the Sor/Wiz list to your repertoire, regardless of the type of caster you are.


Awesome.

Now, to drill down a bit more specifically... in PFS legal means (so no Samsaran), is there a way to do this by (or before) 7th level?

And preferably, to add a summoner spell to a witch or wizard's spell list?


What spell in particular?

Also, are Samsarans not PFS legal? I thought only "dhampir, fetchlings, goblins, ifrit, kitsune, nagaji, oread, sylph, undine, and wayangs" were restricted.


Samsarans need a boon to play as far as I know. So not really an option.


Arcane Savant (prestige class) works, but it costs a caster level to enter and the spell(s) become higher level. So in that way it's inferior to Samsaran. There's no arcane/divine restriction on it, though.


Natural Soul + Animal Ally for Animal Companion, apply Totem Guide AC archetype

I really like the Totem Guide for it's ability to effectively add spells to classes with limited spells known (Nature Oracle, Sylvan Sorcerer, Animal domain Inquisitor).


Unsanctioned Knowledge for paladins.

It's probably not PFS legal, but there is Spell Research.

I don't see anything restricting Spell Research from being used to cross spell lists. I would think there would be a divide between Divine and Arcane sources for spells to consider. I guess that would be up to the GM.


Magaambyan Arcanist adds Druid spells to a prepared arcane caster.

Veiled Illusionist adds illusion spells from the sorc/wiz list to your spell list.


There are two Archetypes which add Spells to the Ranger's spell list Witch Guard (Witch spells) and another one adds Druid spells but I don't recall the name currently.


If you are an arcane caster, there is always the Ring of Spell Knowledge.

in order to be PFS compliant, i think you'd need a boon... but wayangs have racial favored class bonuses that allow them to add wiz/sorc spells to their lists for a couple of different classes (i think its just illusions, or just spells with the shadow descriptor, or something).

It's only useful for spontaneous arcane casters, so won't work for his Witch or Wizard. It's a great item for a sorcerer or bard, though. Being able to throw out a quickened ill omen before a flesh to stone is fun. Though costly at two 6th level spell slots.

Through the New Arcana ability as seen below:

New Arcana (Ex): At 9th level, you can add any one spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list to your list of spells known. This spell must be of a level that you are capable of casting. You can also add one additional spell at 13th level and 17th level.

There's also the Ancient Lorekeeper Oracle archetype, though you have to learn as higher level spells which is kinda bleh (and I'm not sure if PFS legal).

Ancient Lorekeeper is legal for PFS... if you're an Elf.

Does having no sorcerer/wizard levels but having high enough slots count as being capable of casting that spell? It doesn't explicitly make any note of having to meet the stat requirements either.

Sorry to necro something from 5 years ago, but this seems like the only option available to a character I'm building.
