How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
I am trying to identify good methods for casters to cast personal range spells on other PCs but feel like I am missing several. Please let me know if you know of any others. This is what I have so far:
1. Rings of Spellstoring (DMG)
2. Bracelets of Spell Sharing (DMG2)
3. Spellguard (PGtF)
4. Runesmith (RoS)
5. Crafting Magic Items
- Skull Talisman (Frb)
-Attune Gem (MoF) 3.0
-Inscribe Rune (PGtF)
-Craft Contingent Spell (CA)
- Custom items
- wands, scrolls, schemas, and staves with UMD
6. Possesion
- Magic Jar (PHB)
- Fiend of Possesion (FF)
- Ghost (MM)
- Mind Switch (ExP)
7. Master Specialist, Abjuration (CM)
8. Crafting magical items
9. Fusions (directly or with familiar)
- Fusion power (ExP)
- When Two Become One (OA?)
- Metamorphic Transfer (ExPH) or Assume Supernatural Ability (SS) to polymorph into one of the psionic symbiotes from the FF.
10. Imbue With Spell Ability (PHB)
11. Ordained Champion (CC) Channel Spell ability
12. Spellsword (CW) Channel Spell ability
13. Erudite (CP) with spell to power ACF (PHB2? Need to verify) using Soul Crystal Power (MoI)
14. Divine Rank 1 gods can make any creature a familiar with share spell. (Dieties and Demigods? Need to verify).

I think by Raw an Ocular Spell feat allows to cast personal spells as a ray

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
Have them merge with your familiar or animal companion (such as by having them cast When Two Become One while riding your animal companion or something similar), then use the share spells class feature.

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
I love the idea of having a PC merge with my animal companion/familiar. That could lead to a wild build. I envision some sort of uber mount fused with a . . . Totemist and benefiting from all of my personal range buff spells. A huge sized horse with four clawed feat and four clawed arms, the face of a werebear, and surrounded by flames.

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
Skull Talisman (Frostburn): works similar to a potion, but can contain personal only spells, and can bestow the effect on anyone who activates it.
I feel like Imbue With Spell Ability should also work.My winning competition entries: Kinvig Arrumskor | The Great Pumpkinhead | Wynfrith d'Acker

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
Fiend of Possession does something similar to the familiars trick: any spell cast on you affects the host creature instead, so Personal-range buffs on you affect the possessed creature.
Master Specialist (Abjuration) at 10th level allows you to take any abjuration spell with a Personal range and cast it as a Touch spell.
Arcane Archer's Imbue Arrow might allow you to stick a Personal range only spell on an arrow, but it's a RAW reading as likely to launch DMGs at your head as you launching an arrow.

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
I think magic jar should work.
You possess the PC, cast your personal buffs on their body, then skedaddle back to your soul gem. As long as they always voluntarily fail the save vs your possession attempt you can always jump back in if they need a top up.I am rel.

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
On the plus side: it's the Runesmith which appears in RoS, Runecaster is in PGtF, and they can both make personal spells available to others (Runesmith arcane spells, Runecaster divine).
Edit: correction, you don't actually need levels in Runecaster, you just need the Inscribe Rune feat.Last edited by Biggus; 2021-11-25 at 02:41 PM.

Ordained champion and spellsword can use their channel spell abilities on allies. Just hit em with a whip.

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
StP erudites can use MoI's soul crystal power to store spells and power points for others to use their actions to manifest, although it's treated as if the original manifester had manifested it.
A spell storing or power storing weapon can cast or manifest any spell or power with a single target on whoever you hit it with, including self-only ones.
Manifesting the fusion power on another allows you to cast spells and manifest powers on both of you simultaneously, since you're both one person.
A ghost possessing another can cast self-only spells on the inhabited body; de-possess them, and the spell should still be in effect.
A DvR 1+ god can make any creature his (or her, or its) familiar, including the Share Spells ability. Gotta take that as a divine ability, though.Last edited by MaxiDuRaritry; 2021-11-26 at 04:10 PM.

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
An artificer / Alchemist Savant 5 might be able to swing something with the spell storing item infusion and the brew universal potion class feature but it would be very dubious.
The basic process would be brew your blank potion, add the spell storing item infusion for the spell you want, hand off the potion to a friend.
It's obviously outside the intended function of both those abilities, and what actually happens isn't clear. At best your friend probably needs to UMD the resulting stored spell.I am rel.

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
Share spells for an Animal Companion, Familiar, Eidolon, or similar being lets you cast personal only things on them. PHBII has the feat Companion Spellbond which increases the range of this spell to 30' and lets you cast touch spells on your companion at close range.
The PF1e feats Improved Spell Sharing and Improved Share Spells each allow creatures besides the caster to be affected by personal only spells.Last edited by Endarire; 2021-12-02 at 06:45 PM.

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
The (un)hallow/acorn of far travel trick could do it, if you tie personal effects to one of the (un)hallows under the tree's boughs. Note that the spell effects noted in the (un)hallow descriptions are examples and are not all-encompassing.

The feat 'magic of the land' broadens spellguard.
Changing yourself into a symbiote (Fiend Folio) via Shapechange or using Assume Supernatural Ability provides the ability to share spells.Build help: Piercing Immunities | Skillfull full casters | Uptier base classes | Top 10 spells/level

Re: How to cast personal spells on other PCs.
I looked into Posession, and my DM ruled that both a Fiend of Posession and Ghost with the Dominator Path, when posessing someone, and they cast a spell, they can have a spell with the range of self or personal affect the host instead.
