Caster Level for Concentration from multiple classes

[Galnörag]

So generically, if character has class levels from multiple casting classes, do they combine for the purposes of making concentration check? i/e a level 3 wizard/4 cleric for the purposes of a concentration check to cast a wizard spell do they have a +7 + [int mod] or +3 + [int mod.]

I would assume they make wizard concentration checks as a level 3 wizard and cleric concentration checks as a level 4 cleric.

Ouch.

Upon casual perusal of the PRD, Hogarth seems to be correct. That rather hoses multiclass casters rather terribly. Perhaps an unintended consequence of the changeover? I wouldn't say it would be a huge stretch to allow *casting* class levels to stretch, but that seems to be contrary to RAW. As always, ask your DM.

*cough* I am the DM, and was going to

evil nasty dm tricks:

Add Magus levels to a Maralith, who is a caster-level 16 for spell like abilities, so it would be a big jump if the caster levels were additive.
