Rules Questions


Would it be possible to use esoteric magic to select "spells" that appear only on the Alchemist / Investigator extract list?

And if so, how would a Savant go about getting them into his spellbook? As I understand it, adding a spell to your spell list doesn't actually let add to your spellbook, you still have to find a scroll to copy it from.


I don't think you can as those are refferd as Extracts and not Spells. Yet it's not unreasonable to allow it.

Then yes, you just add that spell to your spell list, and you need to add it to your spellbook separately by leveling up in Wizard or by copying that from a scroll or another spellbook. It will hard to come by a scroll or spellbook containing an otherwise Alchemist-only "spell" as they written as Formulas. But there should be a Feat that allows a wizard to copy spells from Formula Books.


In most case I would think probably not, since for some strange reason a Wizard (and by extension other prepared arcane casters) normally can't learn spells from an Alchemist's formula book. Some feat or something (maybe it was an archetype?) that I have seen but can't remember the name of lets you get around this limitation, in which case then you maybe you could do it.


Is there an alchemist equivalent of scrolls anywhere? Maybe that would work to get around this.


Not that I know of, but even if such a thing could exist, you'd have to find somebody who has levels in both Alchemist and Wizard to make it.
