Way to Find Class Exclusive Spells?

[Mbertorch]

Hi everyone! Pretty much what the title says. Is there a method to find out which spells are exclusively, say, druid or bard spells (other than looking at each spell individually)? I'm probably just missing something, but any answers would help. Thanks everyone!

[GM Rednal]

Off the top of my head, there's no easy way to search for that. ...This may be because the huge majority of spells aren't class-exclusive.

[Mbertorch]

Okay. Fair enough. How about this then? Would some people mind helping to put together a list of any really IMPORTANT spells that are class exclusive? So not all of them, just some crucial/defining ones that veteran players might be aware of off the top of their head?

(And remember, if even two classes have it [except wizard and sorcerer of course], then it's not necessary [or helpful] to mention it)

[GM Rednal]

Well, I can at least give you a few...

Challenge Evil (Paladin 1)

Hero’s Defiance (Paladin 1)

Knight's Calling (Paladin 1)

Mage’s Lucubration (Wizard 6)

Mnemonic Enhancer (Wizard 4)

Rally Point (Paladin 1)

Veil of Positive Energy (Paladin 1)

Word of Resolve (Paladin 1)

...

But yeah, for large numbers of them, you really will have to go through the lists. XD; (Honestly, most of them are probably going to be found with 4th Level casters, who tend to have a narrower focus with their options than 6th or 9th level casters)

Internet to the rescue!

Pull up the Advanced Spell Search page on two different tabs. In the first tab, run an empty search to get a list of all spells in the database. In the second tab, select every class list except the class in question. Then use ctrl-A to copy each list into different sides of a text comparison site and run the comparison. Any spells highlighted as being in the first list but not the second are exclusively spells for that class.

It's out of date, lots of these are on the Psychic list.

Still better than nothing. Especially since I don't worry about/use the occult classes.
