Access to Paladin Mercies (by non-Paladins)


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


One of my players came up with an interesting question.

Other than playing a Paladin, what other ways are there to access Paladin mercies?

I'm currently aware of 2 other ways:

1. The Psychic (Pain discipline) gets Paladin mercies at 5th level, but they can only benefit the Psychic.

2. The Scar Seeker Prestige class grants Mercies at level 3 (character level 5+).

What other classes, archetypes, feats, items, whatevers are there?

Thanks!


A Merciful Healer cleric can sort of channel mercies. A player in our area was just asking about whether it had ever been ruled that they can take mercy feats (I'd say no since the class ability doesn't directly give them mercies, just channel effects that precisely mimic mercies).

Sovereign Court

The Kinetic Chirurgeon (Archetype) which oddly gets more Mercies than a paladin, because one every 2 levels starting at level 3.


There's a WarPriest archetype that gains some Paladin goodies. at the expense of some of her self buffs.

I believe that both she and her target have to accept Burn to use them though.

No, that's when she uses her Kinetic Healer as Breath of Life.


Technically, VMC Paladin also does this, but you have to wait until 15th level, and overall this VMC is just bad (although VMC Gunslinger and VMC Witch keep it from being the worst).

This is the PFS section of the boards, no VMC here.

Actually this is the Pathfinder RPG section not the PFS.

Although the Kineticist must still accept the regular amount of burn for Kinetic Healer.

This is because the kinetic chirurgeon can only add one mercy to their kinetic healer ability per cast, whereas paladin gets to add all taken mercies to their lay on hands ability.
