A: Now that the designers are more comfortable building prestige classes that push the envelope a bit, I'd imagine you'll see more multiclass-friendly PrCs like the mystic theurge, yes....WotC itself seems to agree that Mystic Theurge is on the high-end of the PrC power level.  Now, I agree that something needed to be done about the spellcasting multiclassing.  A Wizard10/Cleric10 *is* very underpowered compared to a Wizard or Cleric 20.BUT, I think the Mystic Theurge goes too far in the other direction.  They are, in terms of spellcasting, only three levels behind both their single-classed counterparts.  It's not just a fix, it's pushing the envelope, which is something I don't like seeing in the core books.</blockquote>
