Mystic Theurge question

[Antoine]

Say Bob is a Cleric 5/Wizard 1 of Mystra.
Has Spell domain or Initiate of Mystra feat, 6 ranks Knowledge [arcana] and Knowledge [religion].
Can cast anyspell.
Then can prepare, and cast 2nd level arcane spells.

Does Bob qualifies for Mystic Theurge ?
(Doesn't even "need" the Wizard level except for the gaining future caster levels with the prestige class).

I'd say no, just because I've heard of that combination before and it's bending the rules just a little bit too far.

So unless the Anyspell description said, "A character with this spell is considered to be able to prepare and cast arcane spells for purposes of prestige classes with such a requirement," then I'd say no.

I've heard that some designers have said, this wouldn't work.

Altho, technically, it would, it just seems a wee bit abuseable.

techniqually it doesn't work because even when casting the arcane spell prepared with Anyspell, you're casting a domain spell, ie: divine magic. So you never actually can cast Arcane magic in that way.

 

[Thanee]

Well, according to Anyspell you cast the arcane spells.

Summon monster (series) is a spell that's available to both arcane and divine spell casters.
If I cast Summon Monster II using my cleric's 2nd level spell slot I didn't just cast an 'arcane spell.' The anyspell lets you prepare any spell available to an arcane spell caster (although I guess it would have to be a wizard, because the spell says the spell works as if you cast as a wizard of cleric level) of 2nd level or lower using your 3rd level domain slot. Notice it doesn't say that you cast it as a wizard (thus implying that there is not chance of arcane spell failure). I think that if it allowed you to cast the spell as a wizard of your cleric level it would've given specific reference to arcane spell failure.

Does this mean that the cleric now has the arcane spell failure chance for any spell cast via anyspell?

Note that divine spells do not suffer arcane spell failure chance.

Anyspell is a divine spell that allows the preparation and casting of an arcane spell. For all intents and purposes, the spell still remains a divine spell. I'd forgive the 3.0 FRCS book, being more than a little old now, for it's poor word-choice.

That's what I said!
