@MadGnome Thanks, I agree that losing one caster level is the biggest trade off for Technomancer. But from what you and the others have said, it sounds like Technomancer would be a good fit for the AP's overall storyline.
I kind of like spontaneous casting over prepared casting... it just seems like less micromanagement.
Thanks for the tip on Magical Knack. I forgot that... I've never seriously considered losing a caster level before.
