Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nonlethal Force" data-source="post: 2655923" data-attributes="member: 35788">The practised Spellcaster Feat doesn't impact this conversation as much as you think.Here's the reason why.  Take your fighter 4/sorcerer 1.  Only knows 1st levels spells and only gets slots as a 1st level sorcerer.  But each spell he lets go is treated as if a 5th level sorcerer let it fly.Now, say the character increases the fighter 4/sorcerer 16.  The character knows spells as a 16th level sorcerer and has spell slots as a 16th level sorcerer, but each spell that is cast is treated as a 20th level caster.Now, say the character goes to fighter 4/sorcerer 20.  Obviously we're in Epic progression here.  But, the sorcerer now has access to a normal sorcerer spell list since he is truly 20th level.  {Thus, has gained a few spells and a few slots in the last 4 levels}.  Additionally, caster level does increase in Epic levels, so this caster would use a caster level of 24 on spells.  Everything still works as normal.The only problem now is that many spells themselves - especially damage spells - cap the damage at a certain level.  But you'd have that same problem if this would have been a sorcerer 24 build.  But for things like duration, number of targets, etc the spells would essentially have a caster level of 24.So practised spellcaster works as normal in Epic levels as pre-epic, except (I suppose) for spells that cap damage.  But that isn't the fault of the feat, that's just the mechanics of the spell.</blockquote>
