Mind swap versus Possession, which is better?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


I was just looking at my copy of Occult Adventures and reading the mind swap and possession spells, and I noticed that they're both almost the same thing save for the fact that the original spellcaster's body isn't unconscious with mind swap.

I was wondering, just what is the best use for these two spells? If you can cast possession, why would you need mind swap or vice-versa? It seems to me that the best use for the latter would be if you wanted to bring a fellow PC along and trick an enemy.

If anyone has any further ideas on how best to use these spells, I'd vastly appreciate some advice.

Possession isn't mind affecting, and the caster survives if he's killed in his stolen body. Mind Swap doesn't have either of those benefits.


could you pull off a simultaneous torture and infiltration mission with mind swap?
