[QUOTE="Chacal, post: 4441915, member: 1349"] agreed, Pathfinder is going in the right direction for the spellcasters too. The proposed BCL is quite straightforward. I believe it actually makes playing a multiclassed spellcaster easier. It doesn't cost much time when converting characters, which might be taken into account considering the context of this thread. In addition, for the spell progression, I would use this for every spellcasting class if it weren't too cumbersome to apply. SpellProgression(class) =Min ( classlevel*2, (characterlevel/2 +classlevel/2)) ) Let see what it does for some examples: [list] [*]Wiz1/Clr19 (Or Clr1/Wiz19) -> BCL 20 , SPL = wiz2 /Clr 19 [*]Bbn 10/Clr10 -> BCL 15, SPL= Clr 15 [*]Wiz 10/Clr 10 -> BCL 20, SPL = wiz15 /Clr 15 (this is more powerful than [*]wiz15/Clr 15 BCL 15 achieved by the mystic theurge) [*]Wiz 8/Drd 6/Brd 6 -> BCL 20, SPL =Wiz 14 Drd 12 Brd 12 [*]Rgr 2 Clr 6 -> BCL 7, SPL = Rgr 4, Clr 7 (too good especially with combination of even levels) [/list] BCL + half progression is too much, let's try 1/3 progression: Another try with SpellProgression(class) =Min ( classlevel*2, (characterlevel +classlevel*2)/3 ) [list] [*]Wiz1/Clr19 (Or Clr1/Wiz19) -> BCL 20 , SPL = wiz2 /Clr 19 [*]Bbn 10/Clr10 -> BCL 15, SPL= Clr 13 [*]Wiz 10/Clr 10 -> BCL 20, SPL = wiz13 /Clr 13 (7th level spells are cool enough IMO ) [*]Wiz 8/Drd 6/Brd 6 -> BCL 20, SPL =Wiz 12 Drd 10 Brd 10 [*]Rgr 2 Clr 6 -> BCL 7, SPL = Rgr 4, Clr 6 [/list] I kinda like it, but I know it's far too complicated for most player's tastes.
