[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 814833, member: 1225"] I believe that should be Wiz14/Clr10. A Wiz7/Clr3/MT10 (using your progression) gets +7 caster level for both classes; 7+7=14. Wiz14/Clr10 at 20th level is fairly weak, IMO. Don't expect to penetrate much spell reisistance. And that's towards the min/max end of the scale; the Clr5/Wiz5/MT10 will be casting as a Wiz12/Clr12; no 7th level spells, horrible spell penetration, no special abilities, etc. IMO, the class itself is okay; it's what you can do out of the class that might cause problems -- mainly, taking nothing but wizard or cleric levels after you're done with MT. I don't think a character with an even split between Wizard & Cleric levels will be too powerful. You could up the requirements to require the ability to cast 3rd level arcane & divine spells -- but I think that might make the character aiming for this class untenably weak at lower levels. Before you take the class, you'd be 10th level character who's most powerful spell would be a bare minimum 3rd level spell. 5d6 fireball, vs. typical CR 10 threats? Not a good way to live. That requirement would also mostly exclude sorcerers from this class entirely, since they'd have to be Sor6/Clr5 to meet the requirement. They would then be incapable of taking 10 levels of the class without going epic; worse, they'd never even get 8th level spells. That'd be a shame, because it sounds like a fun character concept (person born with innate magical ability who chooses religious service). <shrug> I'll still wait and see. [/QUOTE]
