Divine Training I wrote:

Starting at 1st level, the zealot vigilante gains the ability to cast a limited number of spells. His spells are drawn from the inquisitor spell list. He can cast any spell he knows at any time without preparing it ahead of time, assuming he has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.

To learn or cast a spell, a zealot vigilante must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a zealot vigilante’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the zealot vigilante’s Charisma modifier.
A zealot vigilante starts out being able to cast one 1st-level spell per day. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score (see Table 1–3 in the Core Rulebook).
A zealot vigilante’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A zealot vigilante begins play knowing four 0-level spells and three 1st-level spells of his choice from the inquisitor spell list. At each new vigilante level, the number of spells the zealot vigilante knows each day increases, adding new spell levels as indicated on Table 1–3, though the zealot vigilante can’t know spells he can’t cast because he does not have the appropriate divine training talent. The zealot vigilante doesn’t automatically gain access to more spell levels as he goes up in level. Instead, he must select further divine training talents if he wants to be able to cast higher-level spells. Unlike the number of spells he can cast per day, the number of spells a zealot vigilante can prepare each day isn’t affected by his Charisma score.
Like a sorcerer, a zealot vigilante can choose to apply any metamagic feats he knows to a prepared spell as he casts it, with the same increase in casting time (see Spontaneous Casting and Metamagic Feats on page 113 of the Core Rulebook).

Table 1–3: Zealot Vigilante Spells Known says that the Zealot knows four level 0 spells and two level 1 spells, but the text says three level 1 spells.

It mentions preparing spells as if they function as an Arcanist or something?

Also, the Domain talent doesn't have any language about things that call for Wisdom using Charisma instead (such as "3+Wis uses per day" should become 3+Cha).

I haven't gotten an answer yet, and I want to play the Vigilante in PFS next weekend, so I kinda have to know.


Normally if there's an inconsistency between the text and the table, the text is deemed correct.

Liberty's Edge

And if that the case does that mean the domain talent will still use wisdom?


I would say yes, especially since this talent allows cleric and vigilante levels to stack to determine domain powers and abilities.
