Loremaster

[Seveers]

If I wanted to be a loremaster, what classes should I be choosing beforehand, I can see it says you need arcana/divine level 3 spells, which classes fill this role?

The classes I'm considering playing are:
Alchemist
Bard
Hunter
Inquisitor
Skald

Are any of these arcana/divine?

Thanks.

well, alch don't have spells so thats an auto out.

as for the others: should be viable to reach that condition, though hunters (and inquis) are partial casters so it'd take you longer, they don't get third level spells until lvl 7.

You also need to have learned any one of the metamagic feats. As @zero said alchemist extracts aren't spells so you shouldn't be able to be a loremaster.

Bard is arcane caster, inquisitor divine, skald is arcana, hunter divine but not full caster. Alchemist is not a caster. Inquisitor would need to be at least level 7. Wich is average for a prestige class.
I suggest you take a look at the oracle class.

Check out the lore mystery.

Loremaster doesn't seem particularly good unless you are playing a full caster and none of the ones you listed are. Of the ones you listed, I'd probably go with Bard and thats because Bards are pretty good to have regardless.

Since in WotR loremasters have it more easy han in pnp (you need a +8 to int mods to get the higher secrets and +10 for the bonus spells, so 30 int in pnp), I would say cleric would be the obvious choice (you lose the least by multiclassing). wizard works too (I don't like to multiclass oracles, you lose too much by not taking revelations depending on the mystery).
