[QUOTE="Outlaw, post: 825561, member: 5907"] This is an absurd notion and one of the reasons why I don't like to play arcane casters. Too often playing a wizard without fireball in his spellbook is met with utter disbelief. The spell selection is the largest out of all the spellcasters and I do believe that a balanced party of appropriate level could handle a CR 18 monster without casting Wish. Similarly, any spellcasting class that takes a second class that doesn't add spell levels to its original class is weakening its overall spell power. There's nothing that needs to be "fixed" with a Clr/Wiz because the person who's making such a character should understand what kind of roll that will put him into. Personally, I don't like how essential multiclassing seems to have become to some people. I think there is a reward for single classing, being the best at what you do. If the trend of PrCs is going to "make up" for limiting your ability for expanding your repetoire, then give me a PrC that allows me to make a character that gives me the abilities of a 15th level fighter, 15th level cleric, 15th level rogue and 15th level wizard while allowing me to wear heavy armor, ignoring armor check penalites and spell failure all achieved at 17th level. Obviously prestige classes are going to continue to escalate until someone begins to argue how the class I just mentioned isn't overpowered. Needless to say, you won't be seeing the Mystic Theurge in any game I run. [/QUOTE]
