Life Oracle mystery spell

[Xavram5]

At 6th level, the Life Oracle gets "Neutralize Poison" as a mystery spell. But this is listed as a 4th level Oracle spell and at 6th level, Oracles only get 3rd level spells. So how does this work, what spell slot gets used when you cast this?

[Jeff Merola]

Life Oracles get it as a 3rd.

[Faan]

I believe there are a few spells that fall into this category, from different Mysteries.

I concur with Jeff that normally, for Oracles in general, it's a 4th level spell.

For an Oracle with the Life Mystery, once they reach 6th level, it's treated as a 3rd level spell.

Hmm, so that means portions of neutralize poison? That would be a pretty profitable business.

[TriOmegaZero]

Not really. The caster level will be lower, so they will be less effective at neutralizing the poison.

I've always hated that Neutralize Poison was higher level than Cure Blindness/Deafness.

IRL, if a person gets bit by a rattlesnake, a decent hospital can treat that and send them home the same day, but if a person stares into the sun and goes blind, no hospital in the world can fix that at all. Seems to me, poison is the easy one of the two, but curing it is higher level than curing blindness.

Always seemed backward to me.

So sure, let's get that Neutralize Poison potion industry rolling...

In a Home Game, perhaps (if your GM allows it). But if you're interested in generating income, then melting down huge-sized Mithral shirts and hocking the material is probably less character investive (if your GM allows it).

There really aren't many benefits other than earlier access to the spell, which is what a healing-focused character should have.

Druids could already do this anyway.

Yeah, true.
