Otherwise, to multiclass combat-oriented classes works brilliantly since BAB always stacks.Let's forget about Mystic Theurge or similar PrCl (or non-core feats) that try to address this problem in a different way, and let's think only about this: what would happen if caster level stacked??? Not for purpose of spells known and spells per day, but just for spells effects and caster level checks.For example, what if a Wizard 5/Cleric 5 (I try to think about mid-high level, but the matter could be very different when seen for example at very high levels) was able to:- cast spells as a Wiz 5, but with caster level 10- cast spells as a Cle 5, but with caster level 10It's obvious that he would have in general more spells/day than a straight Wiz or Cle, he will be stuck with lower-level spells but they will scale somehow in effects (duration, range, and damage typically). Let's try to compare him with the real Wiz 5/Cle 5 who totally suck, as well as with the single-class casters.Has anybody tried this at all, perhaps in the first days of 3ed?I haven't, and my current opinion is that he would be quite powerful if he chooses specific spells that have a very high cap, but I quite think he would not disrupt the campaign totally.Well?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
