[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1667776, member: 478"] I would simply have it inherit the progression from the class you advance via the PrC (if any, otherwise it's always poor progression). Biggest question there is how to do it with classes that grant like 5 or 7 out of 10 levels of spellcasting ability. Do you still get full caster level progression? I'd do that intuitively, I think, since the loss of spell levels is enough of a penalty, usually. In some special cases, like the Dragon Disciple, who has a very weird "spellcasting progression", it might be reasonable to give the class their own BCL progression. I'd give the DD a 0.75/lvl (average) A-BCL and a 0.5/lvl (poor) D-BCL, since it is obviously spellcasting related, but does not normally advance caster level in any way. The Arcane Archer, I'd also rate as a special case, and give him good or average A-BCL and poor D-BCL, I think. Classes that have their own spellcasting (like the Assassin) should normally have their own (good/average) BCL progression, too. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
