[QUOTE="DMaple, post: 56373, member: 947"] Nope a 5/5/10 fighter/wiz/spellsword would have a Caster level of 10 (5 Wizard plus 5 (10/2) Spellsword). So the Spellsword has a worse BAB and no better off spellwise. Spellsword would be caster level 14 not 16. So no 8th or 9th level spells at all. Where as the 2/18 level Fighter/Wizard has access to all spell levels. I agree they should not be dramatically better but the Spellsword is significantly worse off. He loses 9 spells including access to all 8th and 9th level spells, 4 bonus feats (1 fighter, 3 wizard). Still Spell lets you cast in armour (and I still have 3 bonus feats left to spend). The 2/18 will have two additional spell levels to use the meta-magic feats with or to cast 8th and 9th level spells, thats much more flexible than Channel Spell. Brew Potion (and I still have 2 bonus feats left) is just as useful a Spell Cache and doesn't put all your eggs in one basket. The +1 BAB is hardly worth it, the extra hit points and good saves help a little but I think this is weak, especially if you compare it with most other Prestige Classes. [/QUOTE]
