[PF] Wizard getting Stealth as a class skill

[Roto]

So I'm playing a Wizard/Oracle and I was wondering if anyone knew any ways to allow me to gain Stealth as a class skill without using Traits?

They already have it - it's a spell called Invisibility.

If it's specifically a Stealth bonus you're looking for, research a spell for it. Use Jump as a guideline for cost and level.

There are several Oracle mysteries that grant it; Bones (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/oracle/mysteries/paizo---oracle-mysteries/bones), Dark Tapestry (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/oracle/mysteries/paizo---oracle-mysteries/dark-tapestry), Wind (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/oracle/mysteries/paizo---oracle-mysteries/wind), Winter (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/oracle/mysteries/paizo---oracle-mysteries/winter), and Wood (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/oracle/mysteries/paizo---oracle-mysteries/wood).

And at least one arcane school (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/wizard/arcane-schools/paizo---arcane-schools/classic-arcane-schools/illusion/mage-of-the-veil-qadira).

Halflings and Goblins get +4 racial bonus on stealth checks, which is better than the +3 from it being a class skill.

You could take the Additional Traits (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/additional-traits) feat and pick it up that way.

Invisibility gives you a +40 Bonus to stealth if you're stationary, +20 if you're moving... RAW, it states that you're not magically silenced, but doesn't state that the bonus to stealth doesn't apply against hearing based perception checks.

IIRC Perception represents all senses. If you're that worried about it, just cast Silence too. For two 2nd level slots, you're mostly undetectable for minutes/level, which is a good deal IMO as long as you don't plan to cast any spells while sneaking.

At lower levels there is also Vanish, a 1st level spell that makes you invisible for a round. You can make scrolls or potions of it for cheap and just use them when you need.

Fastest way..... Headband of Vast int.....make sure the skill is Stealth.

I typically get Perception as my first skill. If I didn't take shift or Conjuration school I then grab Escape Artist on the headband 2nd. Helps to not take Combat maneuver defense and waste a feat when your headband can make you competent enough at it. Lastly I pick a skill the group doesn't have like slight of hand, Disable Device, Sense Motive, ect.

Oooo.. Thank you for pointing that out to me. I never even considered that.

Close, but not quite.


Duration 1 round/level (up to 5 rounds) (D)
