the Lore abillity of the Loremaster while functionaly equivalent to the Bardic Knowledge ability is still not Bardic Knowledge.
Really? When looking up Lore in the glossary of the PHB, it specifically references Bardic Knowledge (if I remember correctly, I don't have the books). The Cloistered Cleric's lore also (I believe) defines its lore with bardic knowledge.
Going from memory here isnt the only way to learn to speak Druidic is to take a Druid level. I know Druidic is not able to be learned as a bonuses language selection. I'm not sure it is an option to learn by spending a skill point on Speak Language, though I could see a pretty good arguement re: having the Loremasters bonus language class ability be able to select Druidic.
Not only the bonus language, but the loremaster Secret in which you can instantly gain 4 ranks in any skill previously untrained, and Speak Language is a skill.
I sorta see what you are going for here, a Mystic Theurge PrC that gives bigger HD, better saves and more skill points. Thematicaly it is kinda all over the board. With Wiz and Cloistered Cleric levels the extra BAB is completely unneccesary, you will not be melee-ing, and your total BAB score will be behind anyway.
Well, by the time you hit 20th level, you'd have 3 attacks, something the normal sorc/wizard progression would never allow. And BAB is useful for spells with ranged or melee touch attacks.
The oath relaxing aspect of the class is completely wasted, as ASF will apply to the wizard side, and Cloistered Clerics are not proficient with armor if memory serves correctly. You also get no value out of the increase to Bardic music the PrC grants.
That's why I said you could break it more by taking a level of Prestige Bard from UA instead of a 2nd level of Loremaster. It's not what I'm doing, but it is possible to garner the full benefit with wizard and cleric spells. The trade for taking the level of Prestige Bard is that you never get 9th level Arcane spells, because you lose the spell level.
