Do spell-like abilities qualify for the Dragon Disciple prestige class?
I thought the rules had been clarified to allow this. My friend says not.
There is an FAQ regarding this. Give me a minute to find it...
No. If a PrC specifies a specific spell then having that as a SLA does qualify. If the PrC specifies a general capacity to cast spells of a given level, then you need the spell list that supports it.
Here we go.
Wow that was hard. I do wish there was a search function for FAQs.
Ok, thanks.
I believe that Spell-Likes were able to count for prerequisites once thanks to an FAQ, but that was overturned and now they don't anymore. Your player likely heard about the first FAQ allowing it but missed the second FAQ disallowing it.

They are allowed if they are explicitly used as a pre-req. For example, Arcane Trickster requires Mage Hand and if you have an SLA: Mage Hand then you meet that requirement.

Right, I meant how you were able to have things like SLA: Mage Hand count as "Able to cast Arcane Spells" for a while.
