reliquarian Ability score focus

[Richter Harding]

Is the reliquarian occultist archetype depending on it's wisdom for mental focus and intelligence for spellcasting or do both key of wisdom.

If it is a case of the latter, will this be reflected in later errata or the Pfs campaign clarifications?

Quote:

A reliquarian uses her Wisdom modifier, rather than her Intelligence modifier, to determine the amount of mental focus available to her each day.

Is this the line that makes you think it uses Wisdom for spell casting? If so, then no it keys off Intelligence.

[Ventnor]

It would probably be fair for GM to rule that a Reliquarian casts their spells using WIS, but Rules as Written it needs WIS for mental focus and INT for spells, making it more MAD than other Occultist archetypes.

[Weirdo]

I would definitely house rule it. It's a balanced archetype if it casts using Wis. If it needs two stats it's underpowered.

Was there ever a Word of Power from Paizo on whether this is intentional? I'm finally getting to play my Monk/Reliquarian in Return of the Runelords, so it basically decides whether or not I get to cast any spells...

I agree that, as written, it is Int-based divine casting.
