[QUOTE="StealthyMark, post: 116294, member: 963"] There are a few examples of adding spellcasting classes to spellcasting monsters. [URL=http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=fr/fx20011121wn]Wyrms of the North: Arauthator, Old White Death[/URL], old white Dragon Sor5 Zharunkumar, Rakshasa Sor7 In both cases, their spellcasting abilities stack. Arauthator casts spells as a 10th-level Sorcerer, Zharunkumar casts spells as a 14th-level Sorcerer. That's quite easy. Let's assume for a moment this would be correct (in fact, I think so). Now, lets have a look at Shamira, female Ghaele. Shamira casts spells as a 14th-level cleric with access to the Air, Animal, Chaos, Good and Plant domains (MM, pg 32). Does she has domain spell slots? Does she has the domain powers? All, two or none? Now, Shamira gains three levels of cleric. She casts now spells as a 17th-level cleric. Can she cast [I]Shapechange[/I] (Animal 9, Drd 9, Sor/Wiz 9)? Does she gain domain spell slots for Level 1 through 9 or for Level 1 and 2 only? Does she choose two additional Domains? Do her level dependant domain powers work at caster level 3 or 17? [/QUOTE]
