In terms of direct spell effects they're may not be so good, but the fringe benefits can be impressive. The utility spells are a good starting point... but what about items?For example, a single level in a class gives you flawless use of spell completion items - something that would take a score of +19 in UMD - which won't be easy to reach for many characters... With a good base casting stat, staves can be pretty worthwhile as well. It's expensive but can be really impressive. Certain spells work much better in the hands of a base class X: Caster 1: An 8th level wand of scorching ray is a great 'on the move attack' for an Archer (Fighter X: Wizard 1) - his ranged feats will make it a lot more effective than when used by a wizard?SR is a problem - One 'fix' we considered was to mess with multiclass casters - we were considering advancing caster level (NOT spell progression) for levels in other classes. Do it along the same lines as Base attack bonus. A 'Base Spell Level', if you will... Would particulalry help Cleric:Wizard type combinations somewhat more effective.</blockquote>
