How man spells does the PC get?


Rules Questions

New cleric PC has domains of Animal and Good (Erastil). Wisdom of 18.
By my calculations and interpretation of the text from the Core Rules Book, this cleric should have

7 0-level osirons
5 1-level spells
two domains spells but only one usable per day.

Is this correct or does the bonus spell rule for high ability score factor in differently?

Or does the cleric get one bonus spell per level up to 4th due to his high wisdom?


You don't get bonus 0-level spells, and you don't get your Wisdom bonus as bonus spells - there is a table for this. Partway down the page, Abilities and Spellcasters.


Short answer: 3 x 0 level, 2 X 1st level plus 1 x 1st level domain spell.


A level one cleric with 18 wisdom and those domains will have:

Orisons: 3 (base)

First level spells: 1 (Base) + 1 (Attribute) + 1 (Domain [Calm Animals or Protection from Evil]) = 3 total

Remember that you do have to select your domain spell at the time you memorize spells it is not "flexible" and cannot be used to cast either/or as the situation requires.

And it didn't take an apple falling on your head for that to happen! That makes you luckier than Issac Newton.
