Getting around Costly Material components
How many different ways are there to get around paying the costly material component of certain spells.
I know of the DweomerKeeper for turning spells into SU abilities, and the Tainted Sorcerer from UA that lets you take damage instead of paying for the cost material components for spells.
Are there any other ways to ignore the costs or to convert spells into SLAs/SU abilities?

Re: Getting around Costly Material components
You can take Ignore Material Components at Epic levels, assuming your DM does not ban it for breaking Forbiddance and True Resurrection. There is also burning XP via Vow of Poverty, though that is a specific, usually subpar build itself-and 1XP per 5 GP. You can also use the SLA ability of an Archmage-no XP spells, but you instead spend 10x the material cost in XP.
In any case, Stoneskin, Legend Lore, Forbiddance, Forcecage, Simulacrum, Contingency, and the various resurrection spells are the only spells with costly components most people actually use. There is that magic monocle for Identify, and once they have the money most people will want a permanent magic item for True Seeing.Last edited by ViperMagnum357; 2017-11-13 at 01:12 AM.

The void disciple prestige class would allow oyu to temporarily get the ignore material components feat. The runesmith prestige class lets you turn a spell into an SLA.

Spell-to-Power Erudite can substitute expensive material components with power points.

Pay a sarrukh to give you the spell as an at will spell-like ability.
