No, Kerlan, that Practiced Spellcaster idea won't work. But you're welcome to go ahead and submit a character even now that recruiting has sorta closed. You did get in the door, and I kinda cut you off sooner than said I would. Sorry about that. Try to get a character up for me to review by Saturday night, at least 12/22/07. The links for the game are in this thread at post #367. Put your guy up here, first, but it'll pretty much be a formality, and then you are in!KerlanRayne said:I was planning on going into Ultimate Magus, but with the required three levels of Wizard it might not work how I want. If I take a fourth level of Wizard, then one level of Beguiler (PHBII), then one level of Ultimate Magus, can I take Practiced Spellcaster for Beguiler as my 6th level feat and have it apply before figuring the caster level increase from Ultimate Magus? If you say no, that's fine, I'll just go a different direction with the character.
By the way, did you see my previous post HERE? I just want to make sure I haven't made a bad impression.
