Also, in response to spell vs spells, since a cleric 3/sorc 4 (1 arcane spell Known, so spell not spells) qualifies, I do not think that point is valid. Anyway, this is theorycrafting not intended for normal play, so I just want to know if it is rules legal and not if it should be rules legal.


Sorry, I should have specified at the beginning that this is Theory Crafting, and not intended for play in any campaign where that is not encouraged. Anyway, i think if a player has a powerful combination they should inform the DM before they try to play it (just to give the DM a chance to veto).


Why would faith magic fall under a SLA FAQ? Also, yes it is against RAI. I want to know if it is RAW legal.


Arcane spell failure applied to arcane spells. I don't think it would apply to the faith magic spell. ASF applied to certain spells, not certain casters. A wizard casting a divine spell would not suffer from it.


I think SLAs no longer qualify, but anyway I was referring to the fact that faith magic is a feat that lets you cast a divine spell, not SLA.


Is there any place in the rules that refers to a wizard as a "arcane spell caster" and not a class that "casts arcane spells"? Just wondering.


Aasimaar have SLAs, not the ability to spellcast, right? I don't think thats the same as the ability to use the spellcasting feature to cast divine and arcane spells.


Jeraa:
Faith magic gives you the ability to cast a explicitly divine spell.


In the wizard entry it says "A wizard casts arcane spells".

In the arcane magic entry it says "Wizards, sorcerers, and bards cast arcane spells."

Doesn't this mean that since neither source says a wizard is an arcane caster, just that it casts arcane spells (in the section on arcane casters) that the type of spellcasting is determined by the type of spells you can cast (meaning faith magic makes wizard a divine caster, this allowing for double advancement).

Again, sorry if I'm wrong. No disrespect meant.

Also, I know it's OP. In talking RAW not RAI.


The game seems unclear over what makes a character an arcane/divine spell caster. It has a few examples but most classes are just common sense. Could someone explain this?


Thanks for the quick replies.


Is this rules legal?
Take 7 levels in wizard (at level 7 take faith magic arcane discovery). Multiclass into Mystic Theurge as you have the ability to cast a level 2 divine spell using a level 3 slot. Put both levels of casting advancement into wizard, as I assume a class that can cast arcane and divine spells is a arcane and divine spell caster. Double your casting advancement for 10 levels. I am new to the game so my apologies if this is wrong.
