[QUOTE="gavagai, post: 3370587, member: 28145"] OK, I've done some math. If we allow a Sorc4 / Cler3 / MT x with 2x practiced spellcaster feats to progress as MT continously (or add a second double progression class), that character "hits" a single class caster by level 24: - spell progression to level 20 - caster level 24 So, compared to a full sorcerer, he effectively trades in the advancement of his familiar for the spellcasting power of a 24th level cleric (and some minor tidbits like better saves, hits BAB, but nothing much). From my wording, I guess you can see that I dont really like it. If we disallow a Sorc4 / Cler3 / MT x with 2x practiced spellcaster feats to progress as MT after level 10, and she instead decides to progress both classes iteratively, that character maxes out his non-epic spell allotment at level 30: - spell progression to level 20 - caster level 24 So, compared to a full sorcerer, he effectively has all of the above, but at level 30, and casts spells a whopping 6 caster levels lower (but the same number of spells) Looking at it from this perspective, I would tend to think that a solution is to introdce an epic feat "EPIC PRACTICED SPELL CASTER" which effectively bumps caster level increase to +8 (max at character level). This would allow a 30th level MT to be nearly at par with a 30th level single caster (but much later than at 24th level), and would give the single caster the boost of 2 more "free" epic feats and 2 caster levels. In addition, the MT may chose to continue progressing in only one class, which allows him to keep his spells in the non-progressing class (maybe with an additional +4 caster level at epic, if he spends a feat), and be on par with single casters in epic levels. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
