I'm currently playing a bloodrager and when building the class I noticed something. The bloodrager doesn't have the caster level reduction that Paladin and Ranger have "Through 3rd level, a paladin has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, her caster level is equal to her paladin level – 3."
Since bloodragers get spells at 4th, shouldn't their caster level be level -3 as well?
Why should it be? Different class, different rules.
I have heard that it has been confirmed (someplace, not sure where) that Bloodragers have full caster level.
No, caster level was intentionally kept at bloodrager level. (It is mentioned in one of the playtest feedback threads by a dev - http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2qftj&page=1?Revised-Bloodrager-Discussion - end of page 5, I think).

Here is the playtest post confirming this was intentional:

Since it made it into the final product, it seems they have deemed the CL reduction unnecessary. Huzzah!
Hopefully this means Pathfinder Unchained Paladins and Rangers will have full CL as well :D
