Lamia Noble

[Cthulhudrew]

Question that I think I already know the answer to, but thought I'd get a feel from everyone else.

A lamia with sorcerer or wizard levels- would those be considered non-associated or associated? From a strict reading, since the lamia only has spell-like abilities and not spells, they would likely be non-associated. But given the nature of its abilities, and the description that it doesn't like a straight up fight, I am tempted to assume they would be associated instead.

It's a bit of a gray area, but my general rule of thumb is: if it doesn't have natural spellcasting that stacks with a given class, that class level is nonassociated.
