Cantrips for non-casters

[thistledown]

Why is it so hard for non-casters to get cantrips? I found a few things that will give me 3/day, but that's it. I just want to let my nanocyte spam mage hand and token spell.

[Mr. Bonkers]

I guess you're looking for Technomantic Dabbler, Connection Inkling, or Reality Glimmer. Any of those should do the trick.

Yeah, I'll just have to wait for level 5 for those. Though getting a mental stat to 15 just for that is rough. I found Minor Stage Magic and Minor Psychic Power that can be taken at 1 - those are the 3/day options. Really I want something like 2nd ed's Hand of the Mage and Hat of the Magi so I can just buy it, but feats will have to do.

I always felt that the Magic Casters are very underpowered in how much magic they can actually dish out.

[Metaphysician]

Eh, only relatively compared to editions that didn't even pretend at game balance. Casters are actually balanced against non-casters this time, that's a good thing.

Anyway, note that there are versions of the level 5 minor caster feat for all three mental stats. If your character wouldn't logically have at least one of them hitting 15 by level 5 ( note, that's when you get your first attribute increase ), then I really kind of question the logic of them having magic at all.
