I have a character that become a rank 1 divine demigod (after playing this PC for 5 years in the same campaign). He was a 17 fighter/3 cleric. The Deities & Demigods book says deities can spontaneously cast any spell they can grant, if they have levels in a divine spellcasting class. (page 29) In the paragraph before that, it says deities "can grant spells from the cleric spell list". So in regards to my PC, he can grant any spell from the cleric list and thus can CAST any spell from the cleric list. Meaning, he can cast 9th level cleric spells if he wants (do deities need components?) If that's the case, then what is his caster level for these spells? Is it his cleric level, 3? Or, on page 27 it talks about Spell-Like Abilities being cast at 10 + divine rank. Would this be true for casting spells normally too? This is a bit confusing, so thanks for any help here...

It can also spontaneously cast any spell, the way a cleric can spontaneosly cast cure spells. (Yes, in your case, like a level 3 cleric, and he would still lose the appropiate spell slot, so unless you use a homebrew variant that allows him to cast level 9 spells normally, he can't do it now)
