[QUOTE="VelvetViolet, post: 6443543, member: 6686357"] Multiclass spellcasters don't work very well in Pathfinder. Higher level spells are sacrificed in favor of doubling the number of lower level spells. In the Trailblazer rules, spellcasting relies on a base magic bonus similar to a base attack bonus. BMB is used to determine caster level and spells/day rather than class levels. Every class has a BMB of lvlx1/3 (barbarian, fighter, rogue), lvlx1/2 (monk, paladin, ranger), lvlx2/3 (bard), and lvlx1 (cleric, druid, wizard, sorcerer).
