Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 1944886" data-attributes="member: 13966">Note, however, that if you have levels in multiple classes that cast arcane spells, your arcane caster level from each its separate.  For instance, I played a sorcerer4/wizard1, Vaeron, in a campaign about two years ago, and he counted as both a 4th-level arcane caster and a 1st-level arcane caster.  He could qualify for feats and prestige classes that had a prerequisite of "4th-level arcane caster", but not those that required an arcane caster level of 5th or greater.If, for instance, Vaeron later grew to a 6th-level sorcerer, 9th-level wizard, 3rd-level elemental savant, 2nd-level mage of the arcane order.....  Well, he could apply his PrC caster levels to either of his arcane base classes, so let's say he had dedicated his ES caster levels to sorcerer spellcasting, and his MotAO caster levels to wizard spellcasting.  He would count effectively as a 9th-level sorceror for spellcasting purposes (arcane caster level 9th), and separately as an 11th-level wizard for spellcasting purposes (arcane caster level 11th).  He couldn't qualify for feats that required a 12th-level arcane caster.I don't have Complete Arcane so I don't know what the wording of Practiced Spellcaster is, but for instance, (unless its description states that it cannot be used for meeting prerequisites) that feat could boost Vaeron's effective arcane caster level for sorcery to 13th-level and/or his effective arcane caster level for wizardry to 15th-level, thus allowing him to qualify for feats that required an arcane caster level of 15th.</blockquote>
