Child of Acavna and Amaznen Cantrips


Rules Questions


A minor question raised in my group is if the Child of Acavna and Amaznen's cantrips are cast as spell slots or are at will. Some in my group argue for the former because the archetype lacks the cantrips class feature. We're looking for some clarification.


Why would they get cantrips? What is the argument for them gaining cantrips?
Not only is it not a class feature, the bloodrager - which their casting is primarily based on - does not get cantrips.


Certain casters don't get cantrips. Paladin, ranger, bloodrager... in fact those that do specifically say so in their own ability section outside of spells.

So no.


It was brought up because of this class feature.

Lore of Acavna and Amaznen (Ex): At 2nd level, a child of Acavna and Amaznen is further initiated into the arcane secrets passed down from Azlant. This gives her minor spellcasting abilities and access to lore collected to give her an edge against the enemies of humanity.

The child of Acavna and Amaznen gains a spellbook containing 4 0-level wizard spells of her choice. She can prepare and cast these spells as a wizard, using her fighter level as her caster level. She can prepare a number of 0-level spells each day equal to 1 + 1 per 6 fighter levels.

She also gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge checks relating to Azlant and the Azlanti, and on Knowledge checks to identify and learn the powers and weaknesses of aboleths, demons, serpentfolk, and undead.

This ability replaces the bonus feat gained at 2nd level.


OK! I missed that bit. That seems pretty clear. I suppose technically they don't get cantrips, but they do get an unnamed equivalent that works in exactly the same way.


Yeah I admit on first read I was thinking they get a couple 0s and then they are spent once cast.

But it's clear they are "cast as a wizard" and wizards don't use theirs up. So I change my statement.
