Making a Druid, and was trying to figure out some options. This is mostly for my own curiosity since if the ability does exist it seems like it would require jumping through a few hoops.

Game will be going Mythic at some point, so Mythic abilities to add spells to your spell list are on the table too. It's been years since I've played with mythic stuff so I may be forgetting something obvious.

Well, the easy answer is the Extra Spell feat, but it's not clear whether the RAI includes spells that aren't on your class list... or for that matter, Druids at all.

Extra Spell? Pretty sure that's not a Pathfinder Feat.

Arcane Hierophant lets you get wizard casting

Right right, that's 3.5. Missed the Pathfinder tag.

I don't know how domains exactly work in pathfinder, but Divine Scion 3 gives you a domain. Artifice domain with the construct subdomain has polymorph any object as an 8th.

That's an interesting one, but about what I figured in terms of hoops to jump through to do it. Ah well, it's not a huge deal anyway.

Dreamed Secrets is certainly an interesting one. In most games it wouldn't work, but this one goes to 20, so I could grab it at 17. Something to keep in the back of my mind for sure. The rest, sadly, don't work. I wonder if there's a more recent attempt at a list like that? That one is 5 years out of date.

The Halcyon Speaker (https://www.aonprd.com/ArchetypeDisplay.aspx?FixedName=Druid%20Halcyon%20 Druid) archetype has the Natural Arcana feature that adds sorcerer/wizard spells to your spell list. The Nature Priest (https://www.aonprd.com/ArchetypeDisplay.aspx?FixedName=Druid%20Nature%20P riest) archetype makes you choose from the domains of the diety you worship instead of the standard druid domains, so you could take the construct subdomain.

I probably should have specified that I've already looked at the specific Druid archetypes that allow it and was looking for something out of class; I want to be a Nature Fang.

Samsaran with Mystic Past Life?
PaO is a divine spell via the Artifice domain.

That unfortunately seems like a bit of a stretch, since it's not actually on a Divine list. Domain spells are meant to break the rules, after all. I don't think the GM would allow it.

Well if having it as a spell-like ability is fine there's always the Obedience route. Here are the deities I found that grant it, in order of most accessible to least accessible: the Lantern King (https://www.aonprd.com/DeityDisplay.aspx?ItemName=The%20Lantern%20King) offers it 1/day as his second boon, Bharnarol (https://www.aonprd.com/DeityDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Bharnarol) and Mother Vulture (https://www.aonprd.com/DeityDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Mother%20Vulture) give it extended 1/day as their third boon, and Socothbenoth (https://www.aonprd.com/DeityDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Socothbenoth) gives a modified version 3/day as his third Evangelist boon.

Ooh, I was wondering if there were any deific obedience options with it, I'll have to keep that in mind too. So far we have two solid (similarly flavored, even) options, which is nice.
