Can simulacrum use magic?


Rules Questions


I was wondering whether I could make a simulacrum of a spellcaster and whether the simulacrum of that spellcaster could cast spells. I know that the lesser simulacrum is unable to cast spells but it does not specify whether the standard simulacrum can.

Thanks in advance.


Yes. At the appropriately reduced level, if relevant.

A true Simulacrum can use spells. Spellcasting simulacra show in in more than one AP volume.


There could be complications. A Simulacrum of a Wizard has no spellbook of its own, and may not even have any spells memorised. And a Cleric's Simulacrum may not have its prayers answered, as its Deity may decide not to be fooled.
