Cherry picking the wizard spell list


Advice


Sooo

I got the New Arcana thingy for the Arcane bloodline through Improved Eldritch Heritage

Sooo I have a planned out watersinger bard spell list and I'm wondering what spells you'd add?

I'll put the list in spoilers, the order in which the spells appear on the list is not necessarily the order I would select them, just FYI.

Spoiler:
1: Charm Person, Disguise Self, Feather Fall, Hydraulic Push, Silent Image, Vanish
2: Heroism, Hypnotic Pattern, Mirror Image, Aqueous Orb, Silence, Pilfering Hand
3: Haste, Jester’s Jaunt, Invisibility Sphere, Good Hope, Fluid Form, See Invisibility
4: Charm Person (Mass), Dimension Door, Dominate Person, Wandering Star Motes, Control Water, Sonic Thrust.
5: Dispel Magic Greater, Mislead, Seeming, Vortex, Mage’s Decree
6: Euphoric Tranquillity, Overwhelming Presence, Project Image, Seamantle, Waves of Ecstasy

The rather obvious and boring choices that have already occurred to me are Emergency Force Sphere, Contingency(either mislead of Euphoric Tranquility on someone who melee'd her) and Disintegrate

None are particularly thematic and are particularly generic. Cold Ice strike is slightly more thematic but I'm wondering if there is something else. Freezing sphere also exists but I think is probably worse than Cold Ice strike and its definitely not worth taking both. Oasis is deeply thematic and allows for the Watersinger to their abilities anywhere, but it takes 30 minutes to cast .-.

Just looking at thematic choices: Wave Shield, Snowball, Ride the Waves, Aqueous Orb, Phobia(give them Hydrophobia)


Teleport? I always find that useful.

Life Bubble is a spell I am in LOVE with. Last Full caster I took it on the group said it would be a waste...then it saved their lives several times and I used it for some interesting things and strategies and the group ended up loving it too.

Form of the Dragon 1 sticks out for Flight, Defenses, and Breath Weapon. Also great for Intimidation.

Feeblemind is basically a big F you to Arcane Casters.


There's a FAQ that prevents you from taking off list spells through the Arcane bloodline.

FAQ wrote:

New Spells Known: If I gain the ability to add a spell that is not on my spell list to my list of spells known, without adding it to my spell list, can I cast it?

No. Adding a spell to your list of spells known does not add it to the spell list of that class unless they are added by a class feature of that same class. For example, sorcerers add their bloodline spells to their sorcerer spell list and oracles add their mystery spells to their oracle spell list. The spell slots of a class can only be used to cast spells that appear on the spell list of that class.


That's depressing and sad and depressing

Welp ... steadfast personality looks alright xD
