Message: <blockquote data-quote="Estlor" data-source="post: 964980" data-attributes="member: 7261">I had a thought.  Slightly co-opting RangerWickett's idea, I've formulated this.First of all, each class level in which a character gains a caster level, their BCLB (base caster level bonus) increases by one.  Arcane and divine levels stack.  Each morning at spell preparation time, the character can designate how many points of his BCLB translate into effective caster levels in his various spellcasting class.  The only restriction is he cannot put less than 1/2 his normal 3e caster level's worth of BCLB in each class (minimum 1).Some examples:A wizard 10/cleric 5 has a BCLB of 15 and can cast as any of the  combinations:Wizard 13/Cleric 2 - Wizard 5/Cleric 10A paladin 10/Ranger 10 has a BCLB of 14 (note that he has a CL of 5 in each class from 3E).  His combinations are:Paladin 12/Ranger 2Paladin 2/Ranger 12(note the half level rule means his caster level will be 6/1 through 1/6)I'd have to write this out on paper to make it clear, but it definitely prevents someone from taking 19 levels of bard and 1 level of sorcerer to have a bard with the firepower of a 20th level sorcerer.  That character would HAVE to be a Bard 19/Sorcerer 1 through Bard 9/Sorcerer 11.</blockquote>
