Hello,
I'm curious, I'm making a character who is a ranger/Lantern Bearer and I was wondering if the caster level I gain for the spell like abilities of the Lantern Bearer qualify me for item creation feats, like Craft Magic arms and Armor, or Craft Wonderus Item?
Never mind, I finally found my answer in the FAQ.
Sadly that rule was recently reversed.
Anyway you can still use the SLA for spell requirements. I.e. if making an certain item requires spell X and you have X as a SLA you can use it.
