Arcanist questions?


Rules Questions


so first question is about the Extra reservoir feat:

Prerequisite(s): Arcane reservoir class feature.

Benefit: You gain three more points in your arcane reservoir, and the maximum number of points in your arcane reservoir increases by that amount.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.

does this just change your max pts in pool or does it give yo an extra +3 per day?

next is the alt favored class option for the ELF:

Arcanist: Increase total number of points in the arcanist's arcane reservoir by 1.

my question is does this just increase your max each time you choose this favored class option or does it give you an extra pt per time chosen per day?

3rd question

Dimensional Slide:

The arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir to create a dimensional crack that she can step through to reach another location. This ability is used as part of a move action or withdraw action, allowing her to move up to 10 feet per arcanist level to any location she can see. This counts as 5 feet of movement. She can only use this ability once per round. She does not provoke attacks of opportunity when moving in this way, but any other movement she attempts as part of her move action provokes as normal.

"This ability is used as part of a move action or withdraw action"

"This counts as 5 feet of movement."

does that mean this can be done as a 5ft step? allowing you to teleport then take a full round action?


To the last question: A 5' step is not a Move or Withdraw action, so no.

Arcanists can teleport + full round action, but not with Dimensional Slide. They need to steal the Wizard's Teleportation school power, which teleports as a swift action.

Other two: For a home game, chat with your GM. They are not worded well. For PFS... I'd look into other options.


The wizard teleport is based on dimension door so it ends your turn.

The feat and elf racial seem to only increase your max pool size, though there is nothing official yet. This is still pretty good for the occultist arcanist as you will be converting your lower level spells to higher level summons.
