[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 3673763, member: 51325"] This example uses a rules exploit (there is something not entirely kosher about abusing the fact that a PrC has its own Spell progression so that an archivist can get a spell earlier than the PrC itself a la the above example where an archivist gets the spell at character level 7 yet the Disciple has to wait till above 10th level). Still, with the number of domains out there, even when not using an exploit, its pretty much a certainity that an archivist can get some of the best wizard only spells. What makes this DM dependent is where you're located. Using the Realms for example, if your home base is in the Moonshaes, I doubt you'd be even able to get any spells from say paladins and even normal clerics since I believe that region has almost all of its divine spellcasters being either rangers, shamans or druids. If your homebase is Silverymmon, then you should have access to all of the core-divine spell lists. If it is on the paladin's spell list, then you should have access to it. If your home base is Waterdeep, you probably can get access to any Realms-only divine spellcasting list. Waterdeep is the NYC of the Realms and as such, if it can be found in the Realms, you probably can find it in Waterdeep (or at least be put in contact with someone who does know what you want). If your home base is Sigil (from the planescape setting), frankly, crack open the Spell Compendium and go wild. :D [/QUOTE]
