Mystic Past Life and the Hybrid Classes

[Eltacolibre]

Samsaran Mystic Past life is frankly one of the best traits in the game, so how would take the most advantages of it?

-Bloodrager (Arcane)

+ Summoner
Summoner would gives you access to spells like Summon Monster V as a 4th level spell, a good tag team partner or even some utility like Teleport.

-Shaman (Divine)

+Cleric or Oracle
Grab all the divine spells that you don't have access to. Miracle, Blessing of Fervor, Freedom of movement, Divine Favor, Frightful Aspect are the ones that comes to mind. If you pick oracle, you could potentially pick oracle only spells.

+Hunter
Ranger+Druid spells in one spell list up to 6th level. If you plan to do a melee build, you will probably find some good uses of some spells on that list. Even Battlefield control can take advantage of some spells (Entangle, just to cite a few). Freedom of movement is of course a good one to get.

-Arcanist (Arcane)

Frankly Arcanist being a combination of Wizard and Sorcerer doesn't have a lot to gain from spells of other classes. Adding the Witch class could potentially gives you the whole line of cure spells but well, Arcanist does have an archetype for that. Limited usefulness. If you are allowed to get spells at lower levels, Summoner list is of course a winner.

Other fun combos that you can think of?

One oft-skipped detail is that Paladin and Anti-Paladin get relatively early access to quite a few nifty spells (like Slay Living, for example). They make the divine Samsaran the premier choice, I believe.

From an older thread I posted up these. They are all excellent spells you can pick up at a reduced level.

Chains of Light

Angelic Aspect Greater (yes this is an 8th lvl spell in a 4th lvl slot enjoy)

Life Bubble in a 3rd lvl slot.

Fickle Winds in a 3rd lvl slot.

Bestow Grace of the Champion if you plan on being lawful good.
