How to get barkskin on wizard spell list.

[lantzkev]

Aside from Arcane Savant and Mwagabi Arcanist, are there any other ways?

[Ruske Bell]

Wish? Dip a level and wand it?

[blahpers]

Be a samsaran with mystic past life and pull it from the summoner list.

[Captain Xenon]

spell research should be possible. the wizard version would likely be higher level than the druid version, but it should work.

[lantzkev]

Guess I should add more clarification, for PFS.

[CalethosVB]

Be a Samsaran with the Mystic Past Life alternate racial trait.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

Won't work, at least for PFS:

Mystic Past Life (Su): You can add spells from another spellcasting class to the spell list of your current spellcasting class. You add a number of spells equal to 1 + your spellcasting class's key ability score bonus (Wisdom for clerics, and so on). The spells must be the same type (arcane or divine) as the spellcasting class you're adding them to. For example, you could add divine power to your druid class spell list, but not to your wizard class spell list because divine power is a divine spell. These spells do not have to be spells you can cast as a 1st-level character. The number of spells granted by this ability is set at 1st level. Changes to your ability score do not change the number of spells gained. This racial trait replaces shards of the past.

As a Druid spell, Barkskin is divine.

It is on the Summoner spell list, so it is also Arcane.

Thank you. Consider me corrected. I'll slink off now...

[lantzkev]

still doesn't work for PFS though, you can't be samsarian.

And yet aasimar doesn't even require a boon. : P Oh well.

[lantzkev]

clear spindle doesn't seem a terrible way if you have 24k... lol.

[Black Feather]

Razmiran Priest (Sorcerer) at level 9 can buy a scroll at caster level 12 and spend a 3rd level slot to "cast" it.

I don't know if that's legal for PFS though; the rules for buying scrolls suggest you can do it but PFS might insist they're never at a higher caster level (I looked, just couldn't find clarification).

And Samsaran with Mystic Past Life is a lot stronger than Aasimar. Take out that option and they're about on a par with each other. Without Scion of Humanity, Aasimar would be a weaker option than human for almost all builds...as it is, if you can live without the feat and skills and you find a bloodline that gives you good bonuses they're pretty nice -- the extras are mainly just resistances (darkvision matters little when you have a party mostly without it) and some nice feats (flying at level 10 at the cost of two feats is nice, having a magical beast companion is nice, using a spell-like to attack sometimes can be fun if you can afford the feat, everything else is overpriced for the benefits given).

[Merck]

Mystic Theurge. Not sure if that is what you are looking for but its legal. Grab one of the races that qualify you early for the prestige class. Druid with domain 3 + Wizard 1 and Mystic Theurge the rest.

[lantzkev]

not really a wizard option, that's a multi-classing option, but thanks for trying...

I mean if it was any arcane thing that can get barkskin, there's a sorc bloodline with it...

[threemilechild]

You'd need a Summoner or Summoner-flavored scroll to teach it to the ring, but a ring of spell knowledge would work. (Expensive though.)

[RuyanVe]

There's a PrC (Magaambyan Arcanist) in Paths of Prestige that let's you pick druid spells.

Also, there's what the D20PFSRD calls the Arcane (Pathfinder) Savant which let's you pick spells from other classes spell lists'.

Words of caution: I do not pay much attention to PFS. As such I do not know if either of the PrCs are PFS-legal.

only works for spontaneous spell casters.

[RuyanVe]

Ah, lol. Reading-Comprehension test: fail. Sorry for that.

I've got a good idea of what's out there, but there's always a little something that gets over looked occasionally for options!
