Is the table for the oracle’s spell progression correct in Player Core 2?.The table shows them starting with 3 1st rank spells and going up to 4. Same thing happens with each new rank. They start at 3 and got to 4.

But the Oracle Spellcasting section says they can cast 2 1st-rank spells at 1st level. Pre-remaster they followed the same progression as cleric or wizard.

(Edited to remove references to sorcerer.)


While that would be an increase for Oracle, that's what Sorcerer has always had.

Although it should be noted that Wizards also have 4 slots per rank... one is just locked in. (Universalists get to Drain Bonded Item for each rank separately, which effectively lets them cast 4 per rank each day)

And of course Clerics have thier font feeding them 4 extra slots at their highest rank each day, which I would say is at on par with that extra slot per rank even with it being limited to Heal/Harm.

Should have looked up sorcerer. But the text under Oracle Spellcasting still says the Oracle starts with 2 1st level spell slots.


We'll have to wait for the day 1 errata of PC2 to knownfor sure what's correct, table or text.

However, there have been rumors of someone from paizo confirming that the table is correct. This allegedly happened on some community discord, but I haven't seen the text myself.
