[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3436496, member: 1656"] Sure it is - I quoted it for you. "5th (the minimum level for a wizard to cast Fireball)". The minimum caster level for who? The minimum level for a wizard to cast a 3rd level spell is 5th. The minimum level for a sorcerer to cast a 3rd level spell is 6th. The minimum level for a bard to cast a 3rd level spell is 7th. The minimum level for an Ur-Priest to cast a 3rd level spell is 3rd. What's the rule for spell-like abilities? "The creature’s caster level never affects which spell-like abilities the creature has; sometimes the given caster level is lower than the level a spellcasting character would need to cast the spell of the same name. If no caster level is specified, the caster level is equal to the creature’s Hit Dice." So the rule is that spell-like abilities have no minimum caster level (and note the confirmation that there is a minimum level a spellcasting character [i]needs[/i] in order to cast a spell). The fact that a hypothetical monster can use a Fireball SLA with a caster level of 1 doesn't change that 5th is the minimum level for a [i]Wizard[/i] to cast Fireball. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
