[QUOTE="Owen K.C. Stephens, post: 2691649, member: 3190"] I'm inclined to believe the M.T PrC can be overbalanced, depending on the overall character build and the type of campaign it's put in. For example, a character with a good Wis and Int (or Cha) score makes a much more powerful mystic theurge than a character with only one good spelklcasting score. A character who can manage to take the Practiced spellcaster feat even once overcomes one major problem (caster level, so he -can- throw 9d6 [I]fireballs[/I]), and a character that can swing the feat twice (once for each class) has a lot of spells-per-day to make up for the loss of upper-end spells. Further, GMs that try to push their groups' encounters-per-day as a way to curtailing spellcaster power are going to find MTs have a lot more staying power, even if they can't hit each encounter quite as hard. On the other hand, a player who actually goes through the levels of being a split-class spellcaster without the MT benefit probably really wants the class enough that I, at least would allow it. It's when a campaign starts at 9th level that I become doubtful of a sor 3/clr 3/MT 3. Owen K.C. Stephens d20 Triggerman [/QUOTE]
