Compiled list of spells w/o somatic components

[Psychotic Jim]

I've been considering playing a fighter/mage type build, so I went and looked through all the spells that don't have somatic components (and thus don't cause arcane spell failure). Thought it would same somebody else some time if I posted my list here. These are all from the Pathfinder core rulebook, btw. Please let me know of anything I missed or any errors I made.

The following are Sorcerer/Wizard spells:
0: Flare, Light
1: Feather Fall, Hold Portal, True Strike, Ventriloquism
2: Blindness/deafness, Blur, Knock
3: Displacement, Suggestion, Tongues
4: Dimension Door, Geas (lesser), Shout
5: Contact Other Plane, Teleport
6: Geas/Quest, Suggestion (Mass)
7: Phase Door, Power Word Blind, Teleport (Greater), Teleport Object,
8: Charm Monster (Mass), Irresistible Dance, Power Word Stun, Shout (Greater)
9: Mage’s Disjunction, Power Word Kill, Prismatic Sphere, Teleportation Circle, Time Stop, Wail of the Banshee

The following are Bard spells (note that bards can already cast their bard spells in light armor with no chance of arcane spell failure):
Bard Spells
0: Flare, Light
1: Feather Fall, Ventriloquism
2: Blindness/deafness, Blur, Suggestion, Tongues
3: Displacement, Geas (Lesser)
4: Dimension Door, Shout
5: Suggestion (mass)
6: Charm Monster (mass), Irresistible Dance, Geas/quest, Shout (Greater)

Nice!

Note that there's a few good metamagic combinations that might fill out some of those spell slots.

Such as:

Quickened True Strike, Teleport
Heightened Blindness/Deafness, Shout, Suggestion, Geas, etc.
Empowered/Maximized Shout
Extended Blur, Displacement, Geas, etc

However, if you are going to go with metamagic, then Still Spell pretty much opens up a whole set of doors for you.

It's a shame there's no Still Spell metamagic rods.

I dunno, metamagic rods did not do good things to the game in 3.5 D&D. What can be a nice tool for some builds or sticky situations can also be a way to seriously power up spells.

You're actually following in my footsteps PJ (assuming, of course, you're looking beyond just Pathfinder)!

However, do keep looking- there is always the chance I missed one.

Hey, that's a pretty awesome resource! Didn't know somebody else had already done a lot of the legwork for 3.X. I caught a few spells there I missed that also don't have somatic components in Pathfinder (Flare, Feather Fall, and Charm Monster have now also been added.)

I cross referenced my list with the corresponding 3.5 spells and found a few spells w/o somatic components that were missing from your list for 3.5. Here's what I found by level
0: Light; 1: Hold Portal, Ventriloquism; 2: Suggestion, Tongues (both for bards); 3: Suggestion, Tongues (both for sorc/wiz); 9: Teleportation Circle

Thanks- I'll alter my list when I get the chance!

Don't forget dimension door.

Sovelior's SRD has a handy spell search; you can search for spells without the somatic component, and get a fairly accurate list. It's only spells from the 3.5e SRD, of course, so it's probably not an exact match for PF.

Just so we're clear- are those Pathfinder versions of spells or D&D versions? If they're Pathfinder- assuming they differ from the D&D versions- I'll have to denote them as such in my database.

If you're asking regarding my own list in this thread, I created it from the Pathfinder core rulebook version of the spells. However, for the spells I mentioned two posts back as missing from your list I double checked the 3.5 D&D PHB versions and they have no somatic components, just like the Pathfinder versions.

Great- thanks for the info!
