[QUOTE="Infiniti2000, post: 3036509, member: 31734"] (not enervation) A 3rd level wizard's caster level is her class level. It is not a calculation. A 4th-level paladin's caster level is 4/2=2. That is a calculation. Regardless, on spell per day for either you look up in the table based on the character level, not the caster level. For Pal4 (e.g. human so no more HD), with 1, 2, or even 3 negative levels, the paladin can still cast "0" 1st level spells and thus can still cast 1st level spells (aside from the fact that with more negative levels he likely doesn't have the ability score required for so many bonus spells). Now, with enervation on the other hand, it has some extra text. It seems to be worse than normal energy drain attacks because it doesn't have the "die roll or calculation" caveat. :) So, all questions on negative levels need to specify if they are from the broken enervation spell or somewhere else. :) [/QUOTE]
