[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 2145364, member: 63"] The 1/2 caster level gives the prestige class designer some wiggle room with abilities. If a class only has a few abilities, it can probably keep a full or mostly full advancement. For instance, if you were trying to convert the Eldritch Knight, it gains a total of +9 caster levels, so you could have it get +1/2 for the first two levels, then +1 thereafter, instead of having the first level get no spellcasting. The Mystic Theurge just really doesn't fit with this system. Theoretically you could create a class that gives bonus MP and new spell lists, but doesn't increase your MP Limit as quickly, to emulate the diversity of powers a Mystic Theurge possesses, but the Theurge was made to fix a break in the core rules, and EOM doesn't have that same break. Assassins? They probably ought to get a 1/2 caster level advancement (maybe a total of +6 over the 10 levels of the class), with a limited selection of spell lists they can choose. [/QUOTE]
