Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cheiromancer" data-source="post: 2337704" data-attributes="member: 141">Reconciliation of Religion [General]Uedii and Oronthon are one and the same.Prerequisites: Turn/rebuke undead and animal companion as class features.  You do not need to be able to turn or rebuke undead or actually have an animal companion as long as these abilities are class features.Benefit:  Your class levels stack (to a maximum of your character level) for the purposes of the turn/rebuke undead, animal companion and (if you possess it) wildshape class abilities.  Only count class levels which improve the turn/rebuke undead and animal companion class features.This feat is for Reconciliatory Sophists, of course.  The Sophism feat is later on in this post.For those unfamiliar with the story hour, Uedii is the druidic fertility/nature goddess, and Oronthon is a monotheistic solar deity.  I am thinking primarily of cleric/druid multiclassing, but levels of ranger or paladin may be in the mix as well.  E.g. A Paladin 2/Ranger 3 with this feat would turn undead as a Paladin 5 and have the animal companion of a Ranger 5. Note that I am an advocate of using (restricted) gestalt levels in place of prestige classes like Mystic Theurge and Eldritch Knight.  This is the "gestalt-5" rule variant:I would allow a feat to allow an extra gestalt level.  E.g.Theurgic Focus [General]Prerequisites:  Ability to cast both arcane and divine spells.Benefit:  At some future time when you advance a level, choose an arcane class and a divine class you have levels in.  You may take a gestalt level in these classes.Special: If you use a rules variant that allows a limited number of gestalt levels, the gestalt level gained by this feat counts as a level of a base class.Without this feat, the best a multiclass wizard/cleric could do under the gestalt-5 rules variant is to cast spells like a wiz 17/clr 11 (9th and 6th level spells).  This feat improves the final caster level by 1 (e.g. wiz 18/clr 11 or wiz 17/clr 12) but would also improve hit dice and saves because of the additional gestalt level.This feat could be used even if you don't use the gestalt-5 rules.  It would allow one to qualify for the Mystic Theurge prestige class at character level 5, and strengthens low level Mystic Theurges.  I would recommend that the Mystic Theurge prestige class only improve the spellcasting ability of base classes, not gestalt or prestige classes.[edit] I no longer endorse the gestalt rules as a patch for the multiclassing rules.  The feat might still be valuable, though.This is an analogue to Reconciliation of Religion:Mystic Insight [General]Prerequisites: Turn/rebuke undead and familiar as class abilities.  You do not need to be able to turn or rebuke undead or actually have a familiar as long as these abilities are class features.Benefit: Your class levels stack (to a maximum of your character level) for the purpose of determining the turn/rebuke undead and familiar class abilities.  Only count class levels which improve the turn/rebuke undead and familiar class features.And another:Insight into the GreenPrerequisites: Familiar and animal companion as class abilities.  You do not need to actually have a familiar or an animal companion as long as these abilities are class features.  Benefit: Your class levels stack (to a maximum of your character level) for the purpose of determining the familiar, animal companion and (if you have it) wildshape class abilities.  Only count class levels which improve the familiar and animal companion class features.Note that these are relatively weak feats.  Multiclass wizard/clerics typically don't care much about turning undead, and the improvement of their familiars (if they even have them) is rarely a high priority.  Similar remarks apply for wizard/druids.  So I offer the following feat which is better, for these characters, than Practiced Spellcaster:Theurgic Adept [General]Prerequisites: Ability to cast arcane and divine spells, Mystic Insight or Insight into the Green.Benefit: Your arcane and divine class levels stack (to a maximum of your character level) for the purpose of determining your caster level.  This does not affect your spells known or your spells/day.Naturally I need to provide an analogue for Reconciliation of Religion:Sophism [General]Prerequisites: Ability to cast divine spells from two different spell lists.  Reconciliation of Religion. Benefit: Your divine class levels stack (to a maximum of your character level) for the purpose of determining your caster level.  This does not affect your spells known or your spells/day.Now I have to start thinking about Irrenites.  (I think the root word for this is "peace" and they are associated with the "left-hand path").</blockquote>
