Deadmanwalking, where is that ability and the ruling stated?
Those who have rolled a 12 or higher on their perception notice that there are tunnels in this area that are goblin sized. Medium sized creatures have to traverse them bent over but anyone who is small can traverse them sin problemas.

It's part of the general rulings on Spell-Like Abilities, found here, and the fact that Mirror Image is a 2nd level spell.
The ability itself is just listed under the Trickery Domain.
Taking a level of Cleric with the Trickery Domain also gives Bluff and Diplomacy as class skills, among others, which seem solid for the character as presented.
Thanks, I am going to have to read up on it. She gets those skills for being an enchantress wizard as well.

You get a bonus for being an Enchantress. This will stack with the +3 Class Skill bonus from a Trickery Cleric if you put a rank into them, making you quite good at them, as seems appropriate.
Very nice! I am wondering what they have for Calistrians in the Gods of the Inner Sea that comes out in a few weeks.

Friend of the Dork, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't RAW. The SLA counts as being able to cast x level spells for prerequisites was not how most of us were playing before it was handed down, but it was handed down and has been affecting changes in places like PFS where you can't house rule. I see the upsides and the downsides to the ruling, but calling BS is rude and incorrect.
I wonder if the caster abilities not stacking with MT is a way to keep the class balanced?
I never thought about it that way. The problem is that we use Herolab since it helps all of the sheets to be uniformed and does the calculations.

Sorry, but that's BS. The copycat power is it's own spell-like ability, it is not Mirror Image, it just works like one of the images from that spell. In any case this power does not allow you to cast a 2nd level cleric spell.
Even if you do allow a spell-like ability to count as a spell for this purpose, The copycat power itself is not Mirror Image spell-like ability (like the Vrock has).
It's legal per the rules since it lists itself as 'functions like Mirror Image'. You can dislike this, but it's true.
However, using the same FAQ entry, a Tiefling with Darkness as SP and Cleric 3/Wizard 1 etc would be able to do this. Not that I would allow it in my game, Mystic Theurge is a powerful PRC if all you have you give up is a single caster level.
I disagree. Without something like this, Mystic Theurge is...seriously mediocre. Yeah, you have lots of spells, but being 3 levels down on your spellcasting hurts quite a bit. This debatably does make it too powerful, but I tend to disagree given the complete lack of other class features of any value in the Mystic Theurge class. Spellcasting is great, but having to max out one casting stat is hard enough that your secondary class is likely only good for buff spells and maybe healing.
I wonder if there are any plans to beef up the MT? I think that the idea of blending arcane and divine magic is a great one.

I wonder if having access to spells is seen as a greater benefit than channeling or other class abilities?
I've played a "classic" mystic theurge (wiz3/clr3/MT X). It's underwhelming. You're a utility Swiss army knife, but you've got no big hits. It really just depends on how you want to play.
She is an enchantress wizard debating about going into MT.

She is much too active and self-centered to allow anything to steal her thunder. She is the best, at least in her mind, in what she does.
Plus she would have a whip, total dominatrix, lol.
With the new evangelist class that came out in Gods of the Inner Sea would that be a good combination wizard/evangelist?
There is a feat that would allow me to charm animals too isn't there?
With the new evangelist class that came out in Gods of the Inner Sea would that be a good combination wizard/evangelist?Don't have the book yet, but it sure sounds pretty awesome from what I've heard. Of course, you need to wait for 5th level before taking it, given prerequisites.
There is one feat I need to take before the class. It looks like the class stacks with another class that is taken.

Yep, but it also requires either 3rd level spells, a +5 BAB, or 5 ranks in a skill. So there's that.
The 5 ranks is easier to get but then by the time she is 5th level she would have 3rd level spells. It really is a great class and I think that it fits her.
3 ranks in Knowledge Religion, isnt bad for the necessary feat.
