[QUOTE="Skinwalker, post: 892522, member: 11510"] You need to be careful not to confuse character level with class level. A character gains only the class benefits for the respective level attained in each class. Character level grants its own feat and attribute progression. Class level dictates all other progression. To elaborate, say you have a 5th level character with 5 levels of fighter; he has earned enough XP to become a 6th level character. If you take the new level in fighter, he gains two bonus feats (one as a character level bonus, one as a class level bonus). If you instead branch off to another class (or PrC), he instead gains one bonus feat (for character level) and all the class benefits listed for the 1st level of that class (or PrC) - progression as a fighter halts until such time as you invest another level in that class. Some PrC's specifically advance a portion of a class's abilities - such as those that advance the character's caster level. Note that this does not advance every aspect the the former class (e.g., bonus feats, skills, BAB, saves, familiar advancement), just those specifically mentioned by the PrC (in this case, caster level). Hope this helps clarify things. [/QUOTE]
