Minor correction. The devotion feats and the rules for trading domains out for them are in Complete Champion, not Book of Exalted Deeds.

very nice... quick question ....
what are the entry Reqs for Paragnostic Apostle?
also you need Iron Will for both Dragonslayer and Zhentarim Skymage.... but just get it with the legendary location Otyugh Hole(3000gp value) ... thus you wont have to spend the feat.
you also need Skill Focus (Knowledge(any)) for Loremaster
:D

For Paragnostic Apostle: Entry Requirements Skills: Knowledge (arcana) 5 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 5 ranks, Knowledge (any other) 5 ranks. Spellcasting: Able to cast 3rd-level spells or use spell-like abilities of equivalent level. Special: Must be a member of the Paragnostic Assembly. This is one of those nice classes that actually lets you qualify with spell-like abilities. Our dispel magic ability takes care of that. you also need Skill Focus (Knowledge(any)) for Loremaster Skymage gets Skill Focus as a bonus feat. I had meant to put this to one of the knowledge skills and at some point I changed it to Spellcraft. Will change that back. Thank you

This is a list of the prestige classes that can use spell-like ability prereqs. (At least a list of the classes that I have found so far.)
Acolyte of the Skin (5th level caster) Blood Magus (5th level caster) - pixie can get into this at 2nd level Enlightened Fist (3rd level caster) Green Star Adept (1st level arcane caster) Mindbender (5th level arcane caster) Paragnostic Apostle (3rd level spells as spell-like ability) Primal Scholar (7th level caster)
Pixie spell-like abilities meets all of these reqs.

Green Star Adept (1st level arcane caster) Mindbender (5th level arcane caster)
Pixie spell-like abilities meets all of these reqs. Any of them that says "arcane caster level", wouldn't be able to use a Spell Like ability to qualify.

Any of them that says "arcane caster level", wouldn't be able to use a Spell Like ability to qualify. Hey, cool. I can use part of a post I'm making for another thread, and it'll even be relevant.
For feats or prestige classes requiring a minimum caster level, creatures that use spell-like abilities or invocations instead of spells use either their fixed caster level or their class level to determine qualification.[/quote] "Arcane caster level"s are a subset of "caster level", therefore this sentence applies to things that require an arcane caster level. It certainly qualifies. (If it doesn't, then Warlocks or other SLA users don't qualify for Mindbender, which they are definitely supposed to be allowed into.)
The word "instead" might cause problems (since it could be argued to exclude anyone with any spellcasting capability); however, if the character in question ever used an SLA when they could have used a spell, then they have just used a spell-like ability instead of a spell. It's a somewhat poor argument, but it's necessary due to the unfortunate word selection in Complete Arcane.
