Non-paladins with Mercy

[PathlessBeth]

The only thing I like about Paizo's Paladin is the Mercy class feature. I'm wondering what methods are available to get Mercy without being a paladin. In other words, I am looking either for another class that gets Mercy by default, another class which can choose Mercy as one of its options, or another class and archetype combination which gets Mercy.

The ways to get Mercy that I am currently aware of are:

1)RJ Grady's Merciful Oracle Curse (though it gives delayed advancement and comes with extra restrictions).
2) Steven Russell's Merciful Inquisitor "simple archetype."

Are there any others?

Pain discipline Psychic, self only though.

It pains me to even suggest this, but the Kinetic Chirurgeon chooses Mercies instead of infusions.

IIRC there is a Cleric archetype called Merciful Healer that can apply mercies to his Channel

VMC Paladims get one mercy at 15th level. Not sure if it's worth five feats though.

The Mesmerist's Touch Treatment class feature is pretty similar to Mercies, too.

What's painful about suggesting it?

Ooh, that's awkward. It functions like Mercy, but isn't explicitly Mercy, which means that if a feat or prestige class or something has "Mercy" as a prerequisite, it won't work. Still pretty close, though.

Thank you everyone!

The last line of that class feature says: "Feats and effects that affect a paladin’s mercy also affect this ability."

"Effects" includes class features and prerequisites as you have Feats listed in that and there are precedents with other abilities that say "effects"

It's like really, really bad. Like, really. Really bad.

The Insinuator Antipaladin gets lay on hands and mercies self only, if you want to count the Antipaladin as not a paladin.
