The Paragnostic Apostle prestige class (Complete Champion p. 94) gains the following ability:
Bolding mine above.
So, just to be clear, is the modifier:
[(PA level + other class level) x 2] + Int modifier, or
(PA level x 2) + other class level + Int modifier?
Strict interpretation of the wording would favor the first option, which would lead potentially to (for instance) a bard15/PA5 having a base (15+5) x 2 = 40 + Int modifier lore check. High, but I suppose it's not necessarily gamebreaking for a 20th level character.
Thoughts?
Lore (Ex): You can recall legends or information regarding various topics, just as a bard can with bardic knowledge. To use this ability, make a lore check (1d20 + twice your paragnostic apostle level + your Int modifier). Success grants you the same result as a bardic knowledge check would. If you have the bardic knowledge or lore ability from another class, your levels in those classes stack with your paragnostic apostle levels for the purpose of this check.
