Where the class has half-class level access to spellcasting (e.g. Ranger), this total is halved too.An actual campaign example is the PC Bard/Wizard 4/5, whose caster level is 6 as a Bard, and 7 as a Wizard. He finds this works well.It doesn't solve entirely the problem of the loss of access to higher level spell slots, but the extra oopmh is some compensation, without making multi-classing too advantageous.Just so you know that it can work, regardless of what some on r.g.f.dnd say (and I can imagine).EDIT: forgot to add that hong was my original inspiration for this approach, even though he didn't go down this path for his own campaign.</blockquote>
