I'm really fascinated by the NeoExodus Campaign Setting lately, and have been devouring the available PDFs.
I stumbled on this, which is a pretty important part of the setting, and I'm not sure just how potentially broken this is:
CLERIC OF THE KAGA (ARCHETYPE)
The Kaga has clerics that worship it, serve their
community, maintain the shrine, catalog and record
everything they see and hear for their lord. Clerics of
the Kaga do not gain their power from a divine source.
Rather they draw power from an arcane source.
Skills: Clerics of Kaga replace the Heal skill with the Use
Magic Device as part of their class skills.
Arcane Caster: Clerics of Kaga are considered arcane
casters (though they still gain spells and select domains
like clerics do).
Clerics of the Kaga may use their cleric level to qualify
for any feat, prestige class or other option as though
they were arcane caster. Similarly they do not qualify
for any feat, prestige class or other option that requires
them to have divine caster levels. For example a cleric
of Kaga 5/ fighter 1 would qualify for the Eldritch Knight
prestige class, but a cleric of Kaga 3/ wizard 3 would not
qualify for the Mystic Theurge prestige class.
Despite being arcane casters, clerics of Kaga do not
have arcane spell failure for their cleric spells.
Arcane Bond: A cleric of Kaga forms a bond with an
implement or a familiar, like a wizard does. Levels of
cleric of Kaga and wizard stack to determine benefits.
This replaces a cleric’s ability to channel positive or
negative energy
Giving a Cleric access to every concievable Arcane Feat and Prestige Class as well as other potential options..
Am I right in suspecting that this is sketchy?
