Rules Questions


Ok I have a Specialist Wizard in my group and he is looking to take the Prestige Class MT. The question is under the special abilities for the Evocation School it says that you add half of your wizard level NOT caster level. Once he takes the PC he is no longer adding Wizard levels, I know he is adding caster levels, so my ruling has been since it specifically states Wizard level and not caster he DOES NOT get any more bonus for taking the PC.

I'm just curious what others have done or if this has been discussed before.

Thanks!

Your ruling is correct. Those specialist abilities are meant to be encouragement to stay in the base class. They aren't powerful enough to outright discourage dipping, but they do incentivise staying in the class somewhat.
