With a wizards Arcane Bonds power to allow for casting arcane spells spontaneously can they qualify for the Dragon Disciple Prestige Class?
(James Jacobs 11/20/09) First off… I’m not a big fan of saying what you can and can’t do in your home game. And as a result, I’m generally hesitant to lay down the law for things like this, since I can see the attraction to go either way. What it really boils down to is if the GM wants to let wizards qualify for the class… that’s cool. Arcane bond’s power to allow a wizard to cast an additional spell was not intended to let wizards “sneak” into prestige classes that do this, but there’s no game balance reason as to why they shouldn’t be able to do it. But for materials we’re publishing, though, and for building NPCs who might have this class, being able to cast arcane spells spontaneously means “being a bard or a sorcerer” at this point.
