Hi everyone,
I've build a rage prophet and we are now lvl 10 in game (2 lvl Barb/4 lvl Ora/4 lvl RP), resulting in CL 7 (so spells per day as a 7th lvl Ora).
However, with the 4th lvl RP class feature "Ragecaster: a rage prophet's spell grow more potent when he rages. When using moment of clarity, he adds his barbarian level to his cater level", it states that, when raging and using MoC, I can add my Barb lvl to my CL, resulting in CL 9. Does this also mean that I can cast spells per day as a 9th lvl oracle (i.e. lvl 4 spells as highest spell instead of lvl 3 as highest spell?
It would make RP awesome if, with ragecaster, I can add my barbarian lvl to my caterlvl resulting in more spells per day (I've read all the "Rage Prophet is a trap, don't do it!!one!!11!" treads, but I begged to differ when I read "Ragecaster". However, if it does not provide the increased spells per day and spell lvl, than it might actually be a trap (i.e. losing 5 caster lvl in total).
Otherwise I would like to make a tread in explaining why and how a RP is an absolute beast.
Could you all provide some insight in the "Ragecaster" matter?

No.
Spells known and spells per day are based on your Class Level, not your Caster Level.
Caster level affects the damage/healing (3d8 + caster level for cure serious wounds), duration (10 min/level), and range (100’ + 10’/level). There are many ways to increase your caster level via traits, feats, class abilities, and items, but they don’t add to your effective Class Level.

The lower spell levels and spells per day is a balancing factor for the Rage Prophet, since you also get barbarian-type abilities.
If you are really concerned about the lowered spells (and your GM is OK with it), check out the Prestigious Spellcaster feat.
Caster level is simply a measure of how potent your spells are. It has nothing to do with how many spells you can cast. That is strictly by class level. A clear example of this would be paladins and rangers. They do not get spells until 4th level and their caster level is the class level -3. If caster level determined the number of spells then they would not get spells until 7th level.
