Some of them even require spell components, like the pixies innate spell ability.   so, does the feat mage slayer work with innate spellcasting? I say yes, but I wanted some other opinions.

#3 Novacat Sep 20, 2014 15:09:40	Ah, I was looking for it in the PHB. That's why I couldn't find it.   Innate Spellcasting *is* spellcasting, just from an innate source instead of one granted by a class. Mage Slayer will affect these spells just like any other.

#5 lawrencehoy Sep 22, 2014 22:46:13	I agree with the other posters so far. "Innate Spellcasting" is pretty much the same as spellcasting, in regard to the Mage Slayer features. Any feature described as a "spell-like ability" though, would not be affected by Mage Slayer features.
