Anyone else know of feats that grant spell like abilities? I'm having fun making commoners with them, but its proving rather a pain to locate any more. I know dragonmarks can too, but I dont have the books for those and I dont know how they work ><. If someone could explain them I'd be grateful. From what I've seen, there is a bunch of different marks you can get depending on race and they give different abilities?

Least Dragonmark
Aberrant Dragonmark
Lesser Dragonmark
Lesser Aberrant Dragonmark
Greater Dragonmark
Greater Aberrant Dragonmark
Dragonmark Prodigy
Dragonmark Adept
Dragonmark Visionary

That's a nice selection of 175 total SLAs (some overlap), but it's difficult to have more than 1 SLA per feat spent and it is flat-out impossible to have all 9 feats on the same build.

Edit: There's a handbook for Dragonmarks (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=1072.0). It doesn't give a word-for-word description, but it does give a good rundown.

Making a list is a great idea. It's nice to credit the contributors, but the list would be more useful if organized by the prerequisites (level, race, etc.).

Sure, I can do that lol, give me a bit. I'll give credit to all at top, then organize.

While not feats, several of the NPC unique abilities in DMG2 grant SLAs. They aren't worth the LA though...
