Does Investigator's "Spiritualist" archetype qualify for Arcane Strike feat?


Rules Questions


The "Spiritualist" Investigator archetype gains the ability to use certain spells.

Are those spells arcane or divine?

Do they count for the Arcane Strike feat's required "ability to cast arcane spells?"

The spiritualist doesn't gain spells, they gain spell-like abilities. Note the (Sp) next to "Commune with Spirits" and the fact they don't get normal spell slots.

Spell-like abilities can't be used to qualify for Arcane Strike.

Commune With Spirits is a Spell-like ability. So according to the FAQ, it does not count for Arcane Strike's prerequisite.

I believe that the Questioner is currently the only Investigator archetype that qualifies for Arcane Strike.

Correct. Because it gains the ability to actually cast Bard Spells. No other Investigator archetype does.
