Hi,

having some confusion about the advancement of the Bonus spell type abilities.

Most Prcs that advance spellcasting say 'At the indicated levels, an Prc gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known (if he is a spontaneous spellcaster), and an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming an prc, he must decide to which class he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day."

But what if a description says you get a spell for taking an ability?

EG Oracle with the 'Haunted' curse gains spells at certain spell levels, NOT class levels, so if an oracle PRC's does he still get his higher spells (as he's still 'cursed')

Sorcerer bonus spells- since these are listed per level in the class table, I definately say you don't get them. Likewise the bonus spells known for oracle mysteries probably get apply.

But what about class abilities that improve?

EG a 'Battle oracle gets certain feats if he takes Weapon Focus Mystery- since he took the mystery at say oracle level 1, would he still get improved crit, Gtr weapon fcs if he prc'd out?

Would a sorcerer 9 who gains the new arcana class feature and then goes Elk still learn the extra bonus spells at CL 13 and 17 since the did in fact get the 9th level Class ability which entitles them to the spells.

A simpler way of looking at it is if a x Class is level 9 prc's out at 10 they don't get their level 13 class feature (fair enough),

Buuuttt.. If a Class like sorc, wiz etc takes a PRC do they still get the higher level advancements on a class feature they have already learnt- ie new arcana since it says you gain these spells at x level, not x sorcerer level.

Cheers.
