[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 4446715, member: 63"] Well then why not fix the problem by creating a unified caster level progression chart? We come up with one chart, probably based on the wizard chart of spells per day. The starting point is that a cleric 10/wizard 10 is a 20th level caster, and so gets the same spells per day a 20th level wizard would get. However, his levels in each class determine how he fills those spell slots. Hm, okay, so how to do this? Let me first suggest the radical solution. The radical solution is that we require all casters to have a list of spells known. You can only cast spells from that list with your daily spell slots, but you can cast other spells on the list as a ritual. You start at 1st level with X cantrips known and 4 1st level spells, and you gain an extra 2 spells known per level thereafter. The spells you choose must be from the class you take at that level. So if you're a cleric 10 and then take a level of wizard, your caster level is 11 for both wizard and cleric spells, but you can only choose wizard spells this level. However, those spells can be up to 6th level spells. A smart multiclasser would go back and forth, so he gets 2 spells of each level in each class. Now the complication comes in dealing with a) the spell lists aren't equal, and b) the classes get benefits beyond just their spells. Let me think about how to do this and get back to you. But I'm confident this is the way to go. [/QUOTE]
