Brown Fur Transmuter -> Pathfinder Savant


Advice


So, I'm considering building a Brown Fur Transmuter that will take six levels of Pathfinder Savant (starting at level 10), mainly for the Esoteric Magic ability. So I'll be able to add five non-wizard spells to my spell list (I realize I'll still have to buy scrolls of those spells to get them into my book, but that's not a big deal). While some early-entry shenanigans are probably possible, RAW, I'm much more interested in getting five personal target Transmutation spells that I'll be able to hit the party beatstick with.

Thus far, I'm thinking Ironskin, Divine Vessel (maybe, not sure it's sufficiently impressive for the spell level), Lead Blades, Righteous Might (if the DR would actually be granted for a non-cleric caster, otherwise it's not remotely worthwhile), or Twin Form (if an Alchemist Extract would even be a valid selection for the ability).

None of those seem game-alteringly useful to get access to though, so I'm wondering if there's some person Transmutations that I'm overlooking, or if I should be looking at other Transmutations instead, or just spells of any school in general.


I am currently building a Samsaran Brown-Fur Transmuter with the Magaambyan Initiate (called College Initiate on D20PFSRD) Archetype (plus white mage and school savant, but those aren't relevant to this - well, the fact that I have White Mage influences some of my other choices) (GM allowed - I've had to give up all of my exploits).

Which gives me access to my levels worth of any druid spells or good cleric spells, plus 5 spells from any other arcane caster spell list.

Personal Transmutation spells I've so far found that might be of interest are: Swarm Skin, Ironskin, Cheetah's Spirit, Tree Shape, Meld into Stone, Glibness & Verminous Transformation.

In addition to those some other spells I'm looking at taking for the Magaambyan archetype are Hunter's Blessing, Crusader's Edge, Lesser Restoration, Neutralise Poison & Remove Disease. Will probably take Divine Vessel (Celestial only) later.

From Samsaran I'm also looking at Gallant Inspiration and Haste at level 2.

I still have some choices to make though.

Edit: The wizard discovery Idealize might be worth a look. Though I'm not sure it's worth taking the Wizard VMC for.
