Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteelDraco" data-source="post: 1636883" data-attributes="member: 359">So, I'm starting to play a Mystic Theurge with the Practiced Spellcaster feat. I'm starting out at 8th level, Clr3/Wiz3/MT2. I've got Practiced Spellcaster from the Complete Divine in both Wizard and Cleric, so my caster level is eight for both classes.One of the domains I'm considering getting is the Evil domain, primarily because of the +1 caster level when casting Evil spells. This is for an evil campaign where BoVD spells are allowed, so that is actually a pretty useful thing for me. I'll have a lot of [Evil] spells to toss around, especially once I get Corrupt Spell.However, I'm confused on something. Practiced Spellcaster says that it increases your caster level to a maximum of your hit dice. If I have that and the Evil domain, which happens first? Do I apply the +1 caster level for an evil spell and THEN the bonus for Practiced Spellcaster, bringing me to a caster level of 8, and negating the ability of the Evil domain? Or do I add Practiced Spellcaster first, get up to 8th caster level, and then increase an additional +1 when casting Evil spells?I looked around, and didn't see anything to indicate how this should be resolved. Is it just a DM call, or am I missing something?</blockquote>
