[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1957136, member: 63"] How does this feat sound? [b]I Wish I Hadn't Multi-Classed[/b] Benefit: You gain a bonus to your caster level. The amount of this increase depends on how much lower than your character level your caster level would be otherwise. Difference : Bonus 0 - 1 1/2 : +0 2 - 3 1/2 : +1/2 4 - 5 1/2 : +1 6 - 7 1/2 : +1 1/2 8+ : +2 So if you're a Fighter 1/Mageknight 1, this feat would not help you, since your caster level is 1/2, only 1 1/2 less than your character level. If you were a Fighter 1/Mageknight 4, you caster level would be 2 less than your character level, so you'd get a +1/2 caster level boost. If you're a Fighter 8/Mageknight 1, this feat would grant you a +2 caster level bonus. This feat does make feats like Extra Spell List and Extra MP only really useful for single-classed spellcasters, but if you're 9th level, caster level 1/2 just sucks, whereas caster level 2 1/2 might actually be useful for something. Or what if, instead, the feat said you gain a bonus to your caster level equal to one-fourth the total number of class levels you have in classes that normally grant no spellcasting progression, and that the bonus can be no greater than the caster level you gain from actual spellcasting classes? So, f'rinstance, you're a fighter 4/mage 4, this feat gets you a +1 caster level. If you're a fighter 4/mageknight 1, you only get +1/2 caster level. You could end up with a Fighter 14/Mageknight 6 with a caster level of 8. Sort of like the Eldritch Knight class, helping make cross-classing not totally screw your magical abilities. [/QUOTE]
