Prew potion & Caster Level 3

[Zeeky]

So quick question. I'm in a campaign where we're starting at level 3. I wanted a crafter character who's formally a traveling merchant of magic goods, that could make basic healing potions and scrolls.

Now I'm a level 1 Bard and a Level 2 Sorcerer. Brew Potions requires Caster Level 3. Can I pick this up for my level 3 feat or do I have to wait till I get my next feat at level 5 for this?

If so, what would you suggest I get meanwhile in support of this? I want him to be a full on crafter char, and don't mind him being mainyl support in combat.

A Bard 1/Sorcerer 2 does not have a caster level of 3. He has a caster level of 1 (for bard) and 2 (for sorcerer).

Caster levels don't add up, with the exception of some prestige classes. The bard/sorcerer has caster level 2. Them's the breaks for multiclassing.

This said, you certainly have loads of 1st level spells!

IF you take the trait which allows you to add 2 to your caster level for one class not to exceed yoru level you could take the feat.

Assuming you took Sorceror as the class it effected you would have a sorceror caster level of 3 and qualify (even though the spells slots you have and spells known are based on second level sorceror).
