[QUOTE="Koewn, post: 1705313, member: 13172"] Well, in the case of the Assassin, let's say, and the Practiced Spellcaster feat or Arcane Trickster - We'll say I'm a Rogue 5/Assassin 10/Trickster 5. If I would rule that the Practiced Spellcaster feat and the Arcane Trickster "+1 spellcasting level" would apply to the Assassin levels, I'd have an assassin that, while he doesn't have any more spells, has an effective caster level of 19 with his Assassin spells (+4 Prac. Spellcaster, +5 Trickster, +10 Assassin levels). That's a 19 round greater invisibility as opposed to 10 rounds. Most of the assassin's spells are utility or buffs, and a lot of those are duration based. That's a good thing for an assassin. 9 more rounds - that's almost a full minute of extra time to get in or out. Or, two more death attacks. (3 rds study, 1 rd attack, 8 rds for two) (although the combination of the Trickster's "Impromptu Sneak Attack" and the Assassin "Death Attack" make me giggle - how can it be impromptu if it takes 3 rounds of study? Hm?) It's really an interesting effect, I think, and I think it should be valid, since the prestige classes with the 4-level spellcasting progression don't really get a lot of damage-die spells (as far as I've seen). I really should start a second thread just about this part. Koewn [/QUOTE]
