while granted I don't see many doing such a combo of classes, my husband is doing up a program and has to take the possibility into account. So far he's noted three classes that channel positive energy: Cleric, Paladin, and Oracle (Life). There may be others he's not gotten to so feel free to include then in your answer if you are aware of them. The question is does all three of these classes combine their levels for channeling positive energy, or are they three separate incidences? We know that Holy Vindicator (and maybe others) will stack with the levels individually. Since Paladin works through laying on hands, we're doubting it stacks, but we're not sure about Oracle (Life).
I searched through the threads as best I could and I didn't find an answer to my specific question. Say that I have a Sor5/Brd5 and I want to take Dragon Disciple. Each level in the Dragon Disciple adds +1 to an arcane caster class. My question is if I choose, say, Sorcerer at the first level of Dragon Disciple, is that what will be upped every time or do I have to choose which of the two base classes gets the increase each time I take a Dragon Disciple level?
I did do a search of the forum, but after several pages of not finding my specific quandary, I decided to ask. on page 41 of the Core Rulebook it says, "(Druids who take this ability through their nature bond class feature use their druid level -3 to determine the abilities of their animal companions)." But when I look at the Nature Bond class feature in the Druid section on page 50 I find no mention of the class level -3, nor do I find it anywhere in the Druid section. So if a Cleric 4/Druid 1 has Animal domain, is the effective druid level 2 or something less? It seems to me that the druid uses his full level since he can gain the animal companion at 1st level, but that is not what page 41 seems to say. Also since I am on the subject, how does the Paladin's Divine Bond feature interact if the mount/animal companion option is chosen , especially if Paladin is chosen after either cleric or druid have obtained their animal companion? Does the character have to dismiss their, say, dog in order to obtain a mount? |
