[QUOTE="hackmastergeneral, post: 3036426, member: 27925"] Thats what "Practiced Spellcaster" is for. Lets you get up to 4 caster levels (but not the spells) back. If you only lose one SCL, you still get Ninth level spells. You only lose out on a few, and the Sudden Maximize class ability, which you can pick up for a feat anyway. I'm losing THREE, as I took two levels of fighter to juice up my Ranged Touch options. PSC feat gave me those lost levels back, so I still get the effects of being a 12th level caster, despite having lost those levels. I'm gonna lose my 9th level spells, but the Warmage spell list for 9th is pretty underwhelming. BUT: If I'm within 30' of my opponent(which I always manouever myself to be - I now have a 32 AC - highest in the party), I am +15 to strike with a ranged touch spell (which I use almost exclusively - why use anything other than an Orb of Fire/Whatever as a WM, other than to hit multi-targets?), and +16 damage once I add all the bonuses in. I'll get a further +1 damage for every die of damage a Fire based spell does from the Fiery Spell feat(+12 damage for a 12th level Orb of Fire frex). Once I get 1st level FAS, that goes up to +22(1st level ability of a FAS), and only raises the spell level +1. +22 damage, to me, ain't something to sneeze at, and [/QUOTE]
