So, as many know, the Evangelist's Aligned Class class feature allows you to add your Evangelist levels - 1 to a class of your choosing.
A Spherewalker, if they did not possess spellcasting before entry, gain a single spell slot of a level equal to their class level every level(so a 3rd level Spherewalker has a single spell slot of each 1st, 2nd, and 3rd level, plus bonus spells as appropriate).
So, would an Evangelist that chose Spherewalker be able to progress this and other class features beyond what the natural five levels would allow, and get you 9th level spells? Because if so, Non-spellcasting class 5/Spherewalker 1/Evangelist 9 would technically get you 9th level spells(if only very few in number) at 15th level.
It feels like I'm wrong on this, but wanted to check to make sure.
Isn't a prestige class still a class? It doesn't specify it has to be a base class.
You should be able to select a prestige class for an evangelist's aligned class feature, but either way; You could only advance the class to its maximum of 5th level through evangelist. After the level of evangelist that got you there, you wouldn't gain anything more from the aligned class feature.
Isn't a prestige class still a class? It doesn't specify it has to be a base class.When we have a section of the Core Rule Book called "classes" and one called "Prestige Classes" I doubt we can affirm that they are the same thing.
Just because it can't be entered at first level doesn't make it not a class.

Fair enough.

I never understood why questions like this happen.
I'd ask you to tell me where the rules are for level 6 of Spherewalker?
Not to mention there is known table variance on whether or not you can take Evangelist for classes not listed.
Class != Prestige Class in the same way that Danage != Ability Damage.
Class: Classes represent chosen professions taken by characters and some other creatures. Classes give a host of bonuses and allow characters to take actions that they otherwise could not, such as casting spells or changing shape. As a creature gains levels in a given class, it gains new, more powerful abilities. Most PCs gain levels in the core classes or prestige classes, since these are the most powerful (see Chapters 3 and 11). Most NPCs gain levels in NPC classes, which are less powerful (see Chapter 14).
It seems pretty clear that core, prestige, and NPC classes are in fact classes.
