Wasn't there a feat or archetype that enabled a cleric to change their casting stat to Cha?

I'm trying to build a light armor Dex cleric of Calistria,whose favored weapon allows for the use of weapon finesse.

As a result,I could probably do better if I put points into Dex and Cha (to make use of the class skills granted by Trickery domain),and lesser points into Wis and Int (for a few extra skill points).

Wasn't there a feat you could take that might allow one to select a different stat for spell DC? Even if it doesn't change the Wis requirement for bonus spells.

Well, there is the Elder Mythos Cultist that casts through force of the will that spawns from his ever crumbling mind.

...but unfortunately, that kind of precludes the "cleric of Calistria" bit, as the archetype name implies.

There's an archetype but it's both creepy and non-Calistrian - Elder Mythos Cultist. The only such feat I've seen was 3rd party.

Well,thanks for the info,at least. I remembered seeing a reference to a cleric using Cha for spell DCs in the SRD,and that must be where it came from. I suppose when I do make this build,I'll just have to keep Wis higher than Cha instead of the other way around.

Don't underestimate wis for this kind of character. I remember my own arguments when discussing the wis requirement for an alt racial trait on drow in an old thread:

I wrote:

I like the wisdom requirement. It calls to mind not only sense motive, but also the profession skill.

As in, this person's ability to manipulate people is not some innate talent born of natural magnetism, but instead it is a carefully and coldly calculated skill that allows them to have others eating out of their hands and licking their boots.

Essentially it brings to mind a dominatrix that is as jaded and pessimistic about ..'mortal'? 'humanoid?'...nature as the ranger going on about how "The only good orc is a dead orc". Bonus points to both since I can see them taking a long drag of a cigarette and then flicking it in some naive kid's face.

I understand,though I was definitely going for more of the "revenge" part than the "charm" part for Calistria,picking the Trickery and Luck domains and being a sort of travelling vigilante/bounty hunter/rabble rouser.

Still,thanks for the advice!
