I had asked Wulf Ratbane of Badaxe Games (Grim Tales) to post another preview of his upcoming Trailblazer supplement for d20 fantasy. Here's the Trailblazer wizard and sorcerer, introduced by the Unified Spell Progression system.

Cheliax (Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Adventure Path, Campaign Setting, Companion, Modules Subscriber)

All just seems overly complex to me.


I think I like the Arcana Evolved system of combined spellcasting a little better (add together spell slots and caster levels, use either casting stat); this system seems to encourage multiclassing a lot (i.e. a wizard would seem to sacrifice very little by taking a few levels of cleric).

(Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Roleplaying Game, Campaign Setting, Companion, Modules Subscriber; GameMastery Superscriber)

Wulf's is much more elegant, but I came up with a simple idea if multi-classing casters is an issue for you:

Simply make "+1 level of arcane spellcasting class spells" and "+1 level of divine spellcasting class spells" feats (with a caveat that this feat cannot raise your caster level past your character level - 2.) (Thus, you couldn't be a Wizard 17/Fighter 3 and have an effective Wizard level beyond 18.)

If a Cleric 1/Wizard 19 maxed out their 10-12 feats (Pathfinder), they could essentially be a Wizard 19/Cleric 13 for spellcasting prowess. That seems reasonable given the feat sacrifice.

Or, if it seems unfair to require so many feats, use something like...

Divine Affinity (or whatever)

Prerequisite: Cast 1st level divine spells
Benefit: You gain +1 spellcasting level of your chosen divine spellcasting class spells for every two levels taken in non-divine spellcasting classes. Your divine classes stack for the purposes of determining caster level.


seems he thinks we freak out...maybe that was just me over the fighter sneak attack IDK
