Ironskin / Barkskin as a Sorcerer / Wizard


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Really simple, is there a first-party way to get either ironskin or barkskin as a spell as a sorcerer or wizard?
If neither is possible, what would be a cheap way to one or both at a decent level a game goes on?


Well, the Sorcerer Bloodline Verdant can net you Barkskin at 5th level. I am afraid you are out of luck with Ironskin, however.


Arcanist can do it with the Maagambyan Initiatearchetype.

ironskin being a race spell would be hard to find on most class spell lists

There are a couple of methods that come to mind that all work with levels in sorcerer/wizard. If you just want to flat add the spells to your spell list there are the following methods.

->The Prestige Class Pathfinder Savant can grab spells from any class list.
->A Samsaran can use the racial trait Mystic Past Life to add barkskin and ironskin to their spell list because these spells do appear on the summoner and witch lists respectively, meaning they exist as arcane spells.
->A wizard can gain the Arcane Discovery: Faith Magic to gain Barkskin. Ironskin isn't an option since it isn't a domain spell.

If you just want the ability to cast the spells and don't care if it appears on your actual spell list. There are some ways to gain these as limited use spells.

->A one level dip in Lore Master qualifies you to take the feat Secret of Magical Discipline. This feat lets you cast any spell 1/day. It can be taken multiple times.
->The feats Fiendish Obediance(Aldinach) +Damned Soldier lets you take 1st sential boon to cast barkskin 2/day as a SLA.

There are probably other methods.

Edit: I knew there was a guide floating around that talks about getting spells on your list from other classes. I found it here. Though obviously not everything on there is going to work for a sorcerer/wizard.
