[QUOTE="Hawken, post: 4523983, member: 23619"] I still don't think non-casting classes should add to caster level. There's no magic involved in the class, so it doesn't make sense that a caster's skill in a casting class would increase while he is learning a non-casting class. A solution to the issue is this: Add up the caster level for all spellcasting classes, that is the caster level. Ex: Cleric 10/Wizard 10. With this method, the character would have a caster level of 20, but he would only have the spell casting ability of a 10th level cleric and a 10th level Wizard. He would have far fewer spells and few spell levels compared to a 20th level Wizard or a 20th level Cleric, but the power of his spells would be on par with either. And, for SR,he would still be able to play with the big boys rather than lagging far behind and requiring feats or certain classes (Mystic Theurge, etc.). [/QUOTE]
