Is there a list of ways to get it anywhere? I know there are a lot of trapfinding-but-not-trapfinding type abilities, and those might work too. The ability to disable magical traps is the the most important part of trapfinding that I'm after, though the more pieces from the rogue ability that are present the better, obviously. Workaround suggestions are fine too (detect magic+dispel magic, summons, etc.), though I am still after the real thing, so to speak.

Anybody? I know there's the trapper ranger and some sort of bard somewhere.

My favorite way of getting trapfinding is just to take the Trap Finder trait. It grants disable device as a class skill, and lets you disable magical traps.

It's a campaign trait, so you technically aren't supposed to put it in just any campaign. But I find most DMs pretty lenient if no one wants to play a rogue. Between a) having no trapfinder, b) having someone play a class he/she is lukewarm about, and c) letting someone cover it with a trait, the DM's I've played with all chose c.

By the way, the archetypes that I think you're talking about include archaeologist (bard), sandman (bard), and trapper (ranger). There's probably others, but those are the ones that I remember off the top of my head.

Alchemist has Crypt Breaker and Trap Breaker. Oracle and Sorcerer have Seeker.

Missing from grarrrg's guide (as that's not his focus there) are the trapfinder's focus spell and the trapfinding rogue talent.

I like how the spell gives you a bonus equal to half of half your level to Disable Traps.

Also, what specific talent are are you referring to?

This (http://www.pathfindercommunity.net/multiclass-archetype-supplements/rogue-talents/rogue-talents/trapfinding) one. It's listed under d20pfsrd, but on a second look, I don't know if it's official.

The Seeker archetype for sorcerers and oracles also grants trapfinding. I am particularly fond of the sage seeker sorcerer as an Int based skill monkey battlefield controller.

Going up the menu it appears to be 3rd party.

Indeed. From what I could find out (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?342494-pathfindercommunity-net), that's a sister site to d20pfsrd for legally posting Paizo's IP, but it's not as tidy as d20pfsrd when it comes to labeling 3rd party stuff it seems.
