How can I add Sor/Wiz spells to a Cleric spell list?

Apr 07, 2008 6:21:58 Hi there.

I have a character, a Human Cleric of Gond who is aiming for the Techsmith PrC. (Yeah, yeah, I know. The Gondsman. Humour me.) I had an idea of him making golems and constructs with the Craft Construct feat. A gunslinging cowboy cleric who rounds up constructs and clockwork creatures is sorta the idea.

Anyway, Cleric is not the best choice for the tech-caster type. All the best options in the theme go to the Wizard. But I like the Cleric for this character (and there's two other Wizards already).

So there were two things I wondered if I could do.

The first is casting the Repair X Damage line of spells to repair my constructs adequately. But these are Sor/Wiz spells (Transmutation), not Cleric.

The other is dipping into the Effigy Master PrC for easier constructs, but this needs to have Simulacrum on its spell-list. Again, it's a Sor/Wiz spell (Illusion).

So is there a way can I get these spells on a Cleric spell list?

I know about the Divine Magician variant from Complete Mage. Sadly this only allows for Abjuration, Necromancy or Divination spells.

The setting is FR, 32-point buy, all books considered. Current level is 5th.

Thanks for any help and ideas.

Apr 07, 2008 6:29:13 As you can see here -> http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/spells Simulacrum is on the domain list for envy. So grab that domain and you're good to go.

There may be a domain for 'forged in eberron that grants the repair line, iirc. That doesn't help you though... *shrug*

Best bet? Refer your DM to the researching new spells guidelines and make clerical versions of the repair line... It's definitely not overpowered...

Apr 07, 2008 6:45:41 Ah. Hmm. The Warforged Domain is certainly suitable to such a character. Envy is... much less so.

I guess I could always buy a couple of wands of Repair X for the party wizards. Or beg some spellcasting services from them when needed for other things.

Thanks for your help.

Apr 07, 2008 8:14:51 It's a bit late now, but for future reference, the Archivist class Heroes of Horror casts divine spells using a prayer book (similar to a Wizard's spellbook), but he can learn any divine spell. This opens up the possibility of all domains, the adept class, druid, ranger, paladin, and any divine-casting PrC spells.
