Do caster levels of a similar type stack?


Rules Questions


I'm pretty sure the answer to this question is "no," but I thought I'd ask anyway. Do caster levels from separate classes stack for the purpose of spell strength if the classes use the same type of magic?

I.E. A sorcerer 5/Wizard 5 casts fireball from his wizard list. Would his caster level be treated as 5 (because his wizard CL is 5), or 10 (because he possesses a total of 10 arcane caster levels)?

Again, pretty sure I know the answer, but thought I'd ask anyway.

No, caster levels do not stack.

The only exception is generally certain prestige classes, which specifically state they stack or improve a base classes spellcasting ability, such as Eldritch Knight.


That's what I figured. Designing something, and had to be sure.

Thanks!
