Toughness, only repeatable!  Except if you're caster is secondary, you won't be high enough CL to qualify for a fair while.Ark: I know normally they are, I'm saying they probably should e excluded for this, cause then it's even more enticing to go mage/non-mage and get some nice, mithral twilight armor.  Just a thought.Nifft: Why wouldn't the PP stack?  It'd be like wiz/cleric.  You'd have lots of spells per day, but each "side" is tracked separately for each class.  Yes, a psion/wilder would have lots of PP, but he'd have to use each pool for each powers known list, no combining.  This is probably more powerful than combining with a non-casting class, but  the secondary ends up with the casting ability of a mystic theurge, which everyone's always telling me is underpowered, so I don't see the problem.  Horrible action synergy, for one thing.</blockquote>
