Does Mystic Theurge Add Caster Levels?

[Damiancrr]

Ive seen alot around the forums people trying to find ways of early entry into mystic theurge so i decided to look up the class. Im reading it right now and cannot tell if the prestige class gives spells per day, spells known, and caster level or just spells per day. Can anyone help me on understanding this?

It gives all of the above, like all PRCs that progress spellcasting in one or more classes.

The only exception is spells known for wizards and other prepared arcane casters - they don't get their 2 "freebies" on level-up when they take a PRC, but can still add spells to their spellbook with time and money, as usual.

Yep, this.

It was possible to gain entry into mystic theurge, then a FAQ came out, over a decade ago I think, and made this impossible.

Psst, that post was probably from when it was possible...

It is still possible if you take a "Nick Fury" attitude to the FAQ ruling!

To (belatedly) answer the OP: In the case of the Mystic Theurge, it specifically says it provides Spells per Day, Spells Known, and Caster level, so it does. I would heartily recommend treating all caster PrCs the same even if the exact wording suggests otherwise (I am not sure if any actual PF1 PrCs have that issue, but I know some 3.5 ones did).

Indeed glass. That particular FAQ made a lot of people angry. It is the only time I have seen a reaction like that from players.

May I get a link to said FAQ?

Thanks.
