Apprentice and Half-Fey interactions?
« on: September 29, 2016, 05:17:54 PM »
Any ideas on how these 2 interact ...  :???

"Apprentice Spellcaster"

... while Half-Fey racial progression can be considered an actual "class" (or maybe I'm way off base here)
(click to show/hide)

They don't. You're meowing up the wrong tree here.

Yep, level adjustment steps, as well as racial HD, do not count as classes, so there is no interaction.

Half-fey is not a spellcasting class. It has a number of spell-like abilities, which isn't the same thing. You would gain no benefit to your half-fey levels from being an apprentice spellcaster, and in fact you cannot even be an apprentice spellcaster as a half-fey unless you have an actual spellcasting class, and in that case your special benefits would go to your spellcasting class and not to half-fey.

EDIT: though for the record, Savage Progressions levels do count as "classes". Just not the kind you are looking for.

Bummer, so do you think it's something along the lines as :

a) ... "Racial Class" with spellcasting =/= "Spellcasting Class"
b) ... Racial Class with spellcasting based on ECL , but gets it's ECL from some other class, doesn't work
c) ... both

That part hmm , I didn't think would be a problem with the Warlock and Arty and Shadowcaster qualifying precedent.

Not really, in the book that introduced the Warlock they also laid out specific rules about how SLAs can enter certain types of Casting PrCs and Magic of Eberron allows the Artificer much of the same. Without looking, I bet you can guess Shadowcaster probably has an entry or was already covered through Complete Arcane too.
