[QUOTE="Verequus, post: 1975455, member: 9135"] That is far too expensive - you burn every available feat for an increase of a caster level, which is useless at the levels, where the number is considerably improved. Furthermore, one can only spend one third of the levels on class levels with no caster level increase, because you get a feat only every third level. My opinion about a rules system is, that it should not only allow every possible combination, but should make them inherently as viable as possible. This means, that you don't have to pay extra to become a bit less worse than a comparable "pure" build. I don't share the opinion, that Unearthed Arcana's variant of improving caster levels would be the best. It is too weak - actually, the idea of having the caster level (for spell effects only) equalling the HD is the best, I've seen, but the core magic system doesn't support my actual intention good enough. If we got to psionics, then the power point limit would be raised with the HD, while the PP-reserve and other manifester-related things would stay the same for a multiclassed caster. The best use of this rule would make Elements of Magic Revised - should the PDF be updated again, then it would include this change. RangerWickett has already adopted this idea. [/QUOTE]
