Would they unbalanced if they had caster level = class level, as opposed to caster level = 1/2 class level?
As they are now, their spells, upon which a large bulk of their power rests by core rules, are pretty weak -- very short durations, low bonuses, and easily blotted out by dispelling. But would they be too powerful if their magic didn't suck?
An entension of this is that a Blackguard would add ex-Paladin levels to his caster level, to help keep his caster level equivalent to a similarly leveled Paladin. Other "fallen" type of classes would work similarly to this.
What do you people think? I'm the co-DM of a homebrew campaign right now, and I'm thinking of proposing this change to my fellow DM.
