Arazni's gifted spells?


Rules Discussion

So I started playing a cloistered cleric of Arazni, a lovely dhampir harm font cleric who is a lot of fun to play. I was checking what spells Arazni grants access to, and as a 5th rank spell it seems that she grants the 6th rank spell Never Mind. Is that a typo? I checked AoN and Divine Mysteries and both of them say it's a granted as a 5th rank spell, but that's a whole rank early. Just curious, I thought the whole 'granting spells at weird levels' thing left with PF1.

Hey OP! Just checking in here. Is this question a general rules question or is it specific to Pathfinder Society? I just want to make sure it's in the right place for you to get the best help!

I suppose this might be more of a general rules question, though the situation occured while looking at options for Organized Play... I think this might benefit from moving to a different forum, if it isn't too much trouble.

As far as I know there's never been any official guidance on how to handle these.

I suspect the best answer is to treat the incorrect spell level as an error and just gain the spell at the correct level.

It's been moved, OP! I hope you get the help you need!

Or, gain it at an incorrect level, it becomes useless as you can't cast spells of this rank yet and wait until you can, at the correct level. Which is functionally the same.

What I think nobody would allow is to cast 6th rank spell as a 5th rank. At the very least because the Cleric's feature never says anything about changing ranks:
"You can prepare these just like you can any spell on the divine spell list once you can prepare spells of their rank as a cleric."

Most likely a typo.

Yeah, I think it's a typo as well, and will play it as such.
