New player here, I'm considering where my level 3 Wizard is going, which leads me to Eldritch Knight.
Anyway, Looking way into the future, I take 5 levels of Wizard, 1 level of Fighter, and from 7 to 16 I take Eldritch Knight levels.
What happens once I hit level 17? Do I just stop leveling before the pure classes, like an OSR Demi-Human?
If I keep leveling, how does that work? If I were to go back to, say, Wizard; would I be starting at level 6? That doesn't seem possible, since my Arcane spell level from EK will be at that point high enough to cast 9th Level Spells.
Or am I reading the EK's "+1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class" too strictly? Would I continue as an 18th level Wizard? I just don't see a path forward beyond 18, yet I saw Zolthux's Guide to the EK it reads "and after hitting level 10 will go back to your casting class of choice."
An ancillary question to this would be do I qualify for Wizard Bonus Feats from those "+1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class" the same way I qualify for Combat Feats using the Diverse Training Class Feature?
I would think no, but since there are a lot of high BAB Combat Feats I can see adding the EK and Fighter levels together, however in the Core book I can't find anything really with a high enough Caster Level Prerequisite that would need me to add my EK level to my Wizard level other than Item Creation Feats, which only a Wizard can take as Bonus Feats. So this has me confused.

Crap. So sorry, I clicked the wrong link.
Should I move this myself or wait for mods?
