Staff-Like Wand for Arcanist

[Gronk de'Morcaine]

Is there a rules legal way for the Arcanist to get the Arcane Discovery of Staff-Like Wand?

No. At least I don't think so.

However, as a GM, I would allow an Arcanist access to arcane discoveries. They're a hybrid class of wizards and sorcerers.

I'd probably let anyone access to them if they had the focus to learn it (and maybe role play the process). It just it comes naturally to wizards.

Arcanists already have access to Arcane Discoveries through the Arcane Discovery Arcane Exploit. The problem is an Arcanist would need to be 22nd level to qualify for Staff-Like Wand. Most campaigns end before that.

An Arcanist with VMC Wizard could get Staff Like Wand. So there’s that. I can’t imagine not going True Name there though barring GM Hard No.

Unfortunately the arcane exploit that gives access to Arcane Discoveries is excessively restrictive with its 1/2 level limitation… it outright prevent Arcanists from getting any of the truly useful discoveries, and several of the ones they can get are of little or no value without access to their higher level improvements.

The wording of the exploit even seems to prevent dipping into wizard for two or more levels to get it…

Drat!

Oh well, thanks folks.
