Add hex as arcanist exploit

[kabreras]

Hello,

I am looking to ass the ability to choose an hex as an arcanist exploit for the unlittered arcanist ... [Done by making a witch archetype with arcanist casting]

and i want that the patron spells for this "witch archetype" work as domain spells with auto preparation

I cant find how to manage that.

Anyone can help ?

The easiest way to do that would be to create an archetype that modifies the Arcanist to allow access to witch hexes.

Otherwise if you looking for a script you will need to modify the custom expression for Custom Abilities to include the abCategory.? tag for hexes.

Well i did work it the other way around by making a witch archetype that give her arcanist casting style.

One thing that i miss is that i would like that the patron spells be bonus memorized spells.

Is it possible ?

Yes, under the archetype tab in the editor where you made your new archetype you can find a selection called "Spellcaster Type". Select Memorized (Cleric).

Keep going with your explanation, DeltaMasterMind - that step is not everything that needs to be done in order to convert the patron spells to be free things - that step will convert the spellcasting so that a witch can select from all available witch spells, like a cleric, instead of using a spellbook (the familiar), but will not change how the patron spells function.

Perhaps I am missing something here? Seems the OP just wanted to get the list with bonus spells without any other changes. If I was to make this archetype change the Witch into an Arcanist that would require a lot more work. If so then he would be better off doing it as ShadowChemosh said.

To the OP: Make sure you also have selected the "Uses which spells?" selected with Arcanist so you get that spell list as well, unfortunately you will have two spell lists; the witch's and the Arcanist's lists. Doesn't seem to be a way to disable the default class spell list, except without some script magic anyhow. You may want to consider removing the Patron unless you are allowed to use it, which can be done through remove class special (cWitFamil).

Edit: Also add -1 to Arcane Familiar at Level field box.

Here is a quick file that will grant Hexes to the Arcanist. You will want to play with it some to get all the features you want working right, but this gets you started.

I want to have the spell list and mem spells like an arcanist (but still witch spel list) but also that the patron spells get automatically prepared for free.

I did manage to get arcanist casting and witch spell list without trouble

What i miss is the patron spells. They are free spells in the spellbook but they dont get auto prepared.

So basically you want both class spell lists active and available and on top of that you want the Patron spells to auto prep like domain spells usually do? Or are you still going the Witch route with Arcanist casting and want to convert your Patron Spells over to Domain style spells?

Edit: Either by setting up a script that removes the Spellbook.? tag from the patron's bootstrapped spells may do the effect you seek. I am unsure as I am too tired to test at the moment. After work I will check back on this. Otherwise do a new (copy) of the patron you wanna use and some domain and compare the tags. You should be able to gleam some ideas on what direction you wanna go with this.

Exactelly that ..

I think i did look everywhere...
I have no idea about how i can do it

Ok so this is a pretty quick makeup for both archetypes. This new file includes one that helps alter the witch. I am currently working 13+ hours atm so my time to perfect this is short.

Give it a shot and tell me what you think. The archetype for the witch is called Witch Caster (I know quite lame) and it removes the familiar while making the spells memory-based and when you pick the "Patron" you are selecting the Domain from the Cleric domain list. This list will add selectable spells to your spell list. It will not however add separate domain spells like a druid domain spells do.
This is all I could do in 30 minutes. Now time for bed.

Ok, so it work well with the spells that are auto prepared.

But there is no more spellbook.

I want that the spellcaster type as "flexible book" so it have arcanist casting but at the same time that the patron spell was auto prepared like the domain spells of the cleric.

As the patron description in custom ability is set on spontaneous bonus and spellbook bonus but that there is no option to make spells auto prepared it think it need a script that catch the spells from the patron and then make them prepared.

I can see one archetype that does something like that it's the arcanist spell specialist, the specialist spells are auto prepared.
Now how to make it work for spells from the witch patron (you don't choose your spells but they are fixed by the patron) is the big question.

 

[DeltaMasterMind]

Does auto prepared mean that the spells are listed automatically. As in if you have a domain those spells are auto selected and show that list as separate from your standard spell list?
