Magic in the Blood

[Liquidsabre]

This Player's Guide to Faerun regional feat allows for all spell-like abilties (not just one) that are 1/day to be used 3/day. Now consider the number of spell-like abilities a half-fiend or half-celestial receives. That's alot of spell power and perhaps a bit too much. Am I reading this right?

 

[Camarath]

I do not believe that half-fiends and half-celestials meet the regional requirement of the feat.

Unfortunately, there's nothing to keep them from qualifying. A Half-Celestial Elf for example could still qualify or a Half-Fiend Dwarf, etc.

I would think that a type change is enough of a racial alteration to disqualify one from counting as the base race for regional requirements.

Not when they are native outsiders. Just because they are half- doesn't mean that can't be from a particular region. Besides, according to the text, the subrace requirement for regional feats is not exclusive of other racial types. A character doesn't have to have one of the subraces to select the regional feat. (p.8 PGtF)

It appears as if you are correct. I do wonder why you asked the question if you already had the answer.

My question was about the feat and it's text, but thanks for bringing the regional subrace point up. I did not know the answer until I looked that up to see if that was correct.

The regional requirement was the only reason that I could see why the feat might not work for a half-fiend or half-celestial. The feat does seem strong if used in with those templates but I do not think it would be game breaking just maybe a little stonger that I would be comfortable.
