I'm making a cleric/holy vindicator. Some prestige classes grant new spells per day as you progress with the text "+1 level to (arcane/divine) spellcasting class" on the progression table. I get that this affects the acquisition of new spells, higher level spells, and number of spells per day- but does this affect caster level?
At the indicated levels, a vindicator gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain other benefits of that class other than spells per day, spells known, and an increased effective level of spellcasting. If he had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a vindicator, he must decide to which class he adds the new level for the purpose of determining spells per day.
So for levels where no additional levels of spellcasting are given (such as level 1,5, and 9 of the holy vindicator) will my character's overall caster level still increase?
Anyone? BUMP

Emphasis mine. So at 10Cleric/10Vindicator, your caster level would be 17 from the ability of the Holy Vindicator.
As I suspected... thanks
