So my GM is allowing me to houserule the samasaran alternate racial trait, Mystic Past Life.
Mystic Past Life (Su) You can add spells from another spellcasting class to the spell list of your current spellcasting class. You add a number of spells equal to 1 + your spellcasting class’s key ability score bonus (Wisdom for clerics, and so on). The spells must be the same type (arcane or divine) as the spellcasting class you’re adding them to. For example, you could add divine power to your druid class spell list, but not to your wizard class spell list because divine power is a divine spell. These spells do not have to be spells you can cast as a 1st-level character. The number of spells granted by this ability is set at 1st level. Changes to your ability score do not change the number of spells gained. This racial trait replaces shards of the past.
Since I a playing an occultist, he is allowing me to adds spells from any psychic class (i.e. Medium).
I am playing a 1st level Occultist filling in a front line fighter role. My school are Transmutation and Abjuration. I flipped through the spells and came up with a short list of
- Bestow Curse
- Babble
- Mind Thrust I
- Paranoia
Any other suggestions from the collective?
Maybe placebo effect to save yourself from some conditions - not as important for an occultist as some psychic casters since they have focus powers too, but still useful. Horrific doubles is a ridiculously good defensive spell. Oneiric horror is a good disabling spell anyway, and more so as a 1st level spell.
