Lamia Matriarch cleric spells

[egg_green]

I'm working on building a Lamia Matriarch using the new Bestiary 2 dataset. However, I notice that one piece seems to be missing. According to the "spells" description on page 175, " A lamia matriarch casts spells as a 6th-level sorcerer, and can cast spells from the cleric list as well as those normally available to a sorcerer. Cleric spells are considered arcane spells for a lamia matriarch."

I'm not seeing the Cleric spells in the list of spell available for on the Sorcerer tab. Am I missing something? And is there any way to add Cleric spells to the list of Spells Known?

Also, I noticed a bug in the Rise of the Runelords data. The Impaler of Thorns special weapon is not being treated as a spear for purposes of things like Weapon Focus and Improved Critical. I'm having to adjust those values manually.

Can you tell which NPC I'm building? ;-)

This cropped up for me before the Bestiary 2 was out and I was adding these monsters myself manually. I think it's dropping the add-on when the tabs get replaced. Under the "Racial Spells" it works correctly (I just made Lucrecia and had no issues, in fact), but after you add those Sorcerer levels it seems to ignore the "+ Cleric spells" part of the equation after it replaces the "Racial Spells" tab with the "Sorcerer" tab.

Basically something doesn't include the modifiers for the base race's natural spell casting when you stack it with class levels of the same caster type (sorcerer in this case). It just seems to ignore or lose those details.

Also, I noticed a bug in the Rise of the Runelords data. The Impaler of Thorns special weapon is not being treated as a spear for purposes of things like Weapon Focus and Improved Critical. I'm having to adjust those values manually.

That would be because the base weapon is a med sized Longspear, and not a spear. This was confirmed in Errata by James Jacobs after publication. Change the focuses of those feats to longspear and you'll see they do work.

Aha! That did the trick!

Thanks!
