Medium 5th and 6th level spells?


Rules Questions

1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

Medium is listed as having 5th and 6th level spells in Occult Origins, Blood of Shadows, and Arcane Anthology sourcebooks.

Did someone forget they're only up to 4th level spells? Or is there a way they get them naturally?

I am pretty sure these are errors.

While there are magic items that can possibly give a Medium additional spells known (which they could have slots for casting while channeling the Archmage or Hierophant spirits), I don't think they meant to set up spells that were that tricky to be able to cast.


The real question: What's up with Naga Shape II and III (AoN has removed the references) and Mass Sun's Disdain being listed as Bloodrager 5 and 6? Medium at least can (occationally) cast 5th and 6th level spells, but Bloodrager?

Had to use d20pfsrd links, as AoN has removed the erroneous entries.

On a similar note for errors regarding spell levels;

Medium's Spirits Heretic (Hierophant) and Lich (Archmage) also list 5th and 6th level spells capable of being cast by them that they gain despite being unable to cast 5th and 6th level spells.

Lich grants magic jar (5th level) and create greater undead (6th level).

Heretic grants mass castigate (5th level) and overwhelming presence (6th level).

No, both those work as the archmage and heirophant lesser spirit powers which grant the medium mesmerist chart casting (ie up to 6th level spell slots at higher levels). The only thing that is being modified is the bonus spells known he lesser spirit power grants...

My bad, I missed those.
