[QUOTE="FrankTrollman, post: 1186867, member: 14225"] Interesting note: I brought this up on the WotC boards in regards to the Geomancer - namely that as written you could qualify as a Tiefling with 3 Cleric levels. Rich Redman gave out the little dropping mouth smiley and said that that was an oversight - and he promised that they would go about reworking the way they wrote prestige class requirements. As it so happens, they haven't seemed to rewrite the prestige class requirements at all - although they have interestingly enough reworked the way [i]most[/i] Spell-like abilities read. So currently: if your spell-like ability still says "as a sorcerer of blah blah blah level" - you are good to go on class prereqs. If it says something like "the saves are charisma based" - then you are not. Of course, the [i]spirit[/i] of the rules would indicate that [i]most[/i] spell-like abilities would not count for PrC requirements. Although on the other other hand - the spirit of the rules is that many creatures with spell-like abilities are magical and deserve to be able to directly expand those abilities. It is currently a major problem that there aren't PrCs for increasing the power of creatures with Spell-like abilities. If a creature could be improved by adding a published PrC I'd certainly entertain letting them do it. -Frank [/QUOTE]
