Caster level and Spells per day


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


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?


As with other abilities and feats the increase your caster level it does not change how many spells per day you get it only affects the potency of the spells you're casting.

For example, the seaborn bloodline does not give a caster extra spell slots if they happen to live underwater.

While Prestigious Spellcaster, which does actually increase your spells per day has to use a lot of text explaining that's what it does since it does more then just give you +1 to your caster level.

Besides, even if +CL did give spell slots you would lose them again as soon as MoC ended which, only lasts 1 round or 6 seconds per rage. It takes longer then 6 seconds to prepare a spell.
