Spell Trigger Items and Classes


Rules Questions


"Spell trigger items can be used by anyone whose class can cast the corresponding spell. This is the case even for a character who can't actually cast spells, such as a 3rd-level paladin."

So, how is a Warrior of the Holy Light Paladin considered?
(It's that archetype that replaces the ability to cast spells.)
The Paladin class itself can cast the spell that is in the spell trigger item, but the Warrior of the Holy Light's own Paladin class can't. Is it capable of activating it anyway?

I would say no since the paladin no longer has potential to cast the spell.

That's my impression of the RAI of course.

A warrior of the holy light does not gain any spells or spellcasting abilities, does not have a caster level, and cannot use spell trigger or spell completion magic items.

So...nope!

Sure, actually find the rule instead of making educated guesses... see if I care!


Sometimes you look too far and don't see what's close.


It's usually located at the bottom of the ability, from what I have seen. It threw me off too!
