Uncommon Initiate Warden spells

[Seffer]

Hi! I'm trying to build my 1st Society character, and I'm stuck. I'm building a Ranger. It seems like it's OK to choose Initiate Warden, since it doesn't say it's Uncommon or Rare, but then when you go to choose an Initiate Warden spell, they're all Uncommon.

Does that mean that Initiate Warden is actually unavailable? Or am I free to choose a spell even though they are Uncommon? Or have I made a mistake somewhere?

Thanks for your help!

All focus spells are uncommon. You gain access to them when a feat or class feature lets you pick one. It's not the most intuitive thing, unfortunately.

It's a problem with the Uncommon trait doing too much lifting.

Things uncommon can mean:

1: You need a specific feature that allows you to choose it (ex. Focus Spells)

2: It's problematic for certain game types (ex. Truth forcing or long distance teleportation.)

3: It's actually just uncommon in the world/region (ex. Ancestries like Merfolk)

4: Sorta Ancestry based access (ex. Flickmace/Clan Dagger)

There's probably at least one more category.

TL/DR: If you pick the Intiate Warden class feature, you get access to the Initiate Warden spells.

Gotcha. Thanks, everyone for the answers! I'm looking forward to playing!
