[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 819939, member: 5834"] [b]Re[/b] I think it is slighly overpowered, just not as much as some think. It isn't going to change the face of the game. [b]The way SR and caster level checks are set up ruleswise limits the usefulness of any Prc that limits casting level.[/b] Thats just the nature of 3rd edition mechanics. Also, with the loss of the extra spellcasting action from [i]Haste[/i], the extra spellcasting firepower won't be as useful. They will still only be casting 1 spell per round. [b]The real advantage I see to the class combination is that they will be able to call upon the most powerful offensive and defensive magic.[/b] That makes it slightly overpowered. The only balancing factor being that it will be easier for a straight class wizard or cleric to dispel or counter the spells of a Mystic Theurge, which slightly offsets the class advantages. IMO, some people are a little to trigger happy to call the class either balanced or imbalanced without some time to play the class. Either way, I can't wait to give this class a try and see how well it will do for myself. [/QUOTE]
