[QUOTE="TiQuinn, post: 875128, member: 4871"] [b]Re: Arcane Paladins?![/b] [B] First of all, part of the assumption here is that arcane and divine magic come from the same source, allowing one spell list. Cleric and Wizard spells etc. would be more like different schools of training than completely different types of magic. I think a 14th lvl Ftr/1st lvl Wiz should be a better spellcaster than a 2nd lvl Wiz because even though the character's focus is on combat, some part of his training and skills is focused on magic use as well. He may only be casting color spray or exp. retreat, but he's still using magic and gaining some power through experience. Look at it this way, a 14th lvl Wizard/1st lvl Ftr has a better BAB than a 2nd lvl Ftr. By your reasoning, why would he? He should only have the fighting ability of a 1st level Ftr. However if this were to be the case, multi-classed characters would be left behind in fighting ability. Part of the problem right now is that a 7th level Fighter/7th level Wizard is no match for a 14th level Wizard, despite the fact that they are both 14th level characters. Multi-classing currently ends up with a very inferior character. Just as with BAB advancement, there's no reason why spellcaster advancement couldn't rise through other classes as well.[/b] [/QUOTE]
