PrC's and multiple base classes - spellcasters

[Dawnwind]

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?

well this is what the prd say in dragon disciple

If a character had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming a dragon disciple, he must decide to which class he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.

If it had said "levels" vice "level" I wouldn't have this question. In 3.5 as far as I can tell it was at each PrC level you had to choose, but PF if just different enough that I need something more specific to be sure.

You must choose one of the two classes when you take your first level in the PrC.

SO just to make sure that I understand clearly.

My Brd5/Sor5 takes Dragon Disciple(DrgDis)1 and selects Bard to go up. When I take DrgDis2, Bard now has to go up and I can never raise the effective Sorcerer spell level, at least with DrgDis.

If the quoted text is correct you make the choice at every level. (Besides, spreading it between 2 or more classes is pretty weak, I doubt there's really any exploits.)

[Dawnwind]

Between Leo and Shadowcat there seems to be two different answers. Anyone know where an official answer lies?

The RAW is ambiguous. Both rulings are reasonable. I generally take the more liberal ruling in cases like this. In a practical sense, it's irrelevant since it would be a horrible idea to split your caster level in this fashion.
