Sorcerer/Wizard PrC's?

[Oni]

Anyone know of any PrC's to help along a even split multiclass Sorcerer Wizard?

Oh man, you are so screwed.


Hong "I guess that means no" Ooi

Go houserules. They can help you there.



I only know of a real bad necromancer class... requirements: 5lvl cleric, 5lvl wizard... and the prestigeclass raises BOTH spellcasting levels.

You end up as a double lvl15 spellcaster.

There is an interesting prestige class in Monte's Book of Hallowed Might that tries to fix this problem with multiclassed spellcasters. The hallowed mage's prereqs include the ability to cast 3rd level arcane and 3rd level divine spells. Its spell progression starts at 4th level, not 1st, and the spells match (eg it gets ice storm, dimension door etc as starting 4th level spells). The character's caster levels in previous classes also add to the PrC's caster level. It seems to fix the problem quite handily, although I haven't seen it in play as yet.

Nope.

Check the Book of Ultimate Prestige Classes

I know of one.

The Arcanist from The Book of Ultimate Prestige Classes volume 1 allows as its class' only benefit +1 Casting level to two previous classes.

It's designed for a Divine/Arcane combination but if I remember correctly the prerequisites require the ability to 4th level and 3rd level spells from two differenct classes. This wouldn't preclude wizard/sorcerer or cleric/druid combinations.

In exchange for this awesome power you get 1/2 BAB progression, no good save, and a 1D4 hit die.

It originally comes from the Netbook of Classes Volume 2

These are the requirements:

Concentration: 7 ranks
Knowledge (Arcana): 5 ranks
Knowledge (Nature or Religion): 5 ranks
Spellcraft: 7 ranks
Spellcasting: Ability to cast first level divine spells and first level arcane spells.

And there are special limitations:

Limited Magic Item Creation Feats: An arcanist may not count his arcanist levels against the level requirements of item creation feats. As an example, a wiz 3/clr3/arcanist 5 cannot learn any item creation feats requiring a caster level over three to learn, despite the fact that his caster level as either a cleric or wizard is eight.

Prohibited Metamagic: An arcanist cannot use or learn any metamagic feats with spellcasting classes improved by his arcanist class. Any metamagic feats he knows become useless to him unless he has a third spellcasting class not affected by his arcanist spellcasting abilities.

Prohibited Spell Research: Arcanists cannot research new spells for spellcasting classes improved by his arcanist class. Arcanists fill their minds by rote learning to prepare the maximum possible number of spells. This rigid training inhibits the creativity required to research new spells. This does not prohibit an arcanist with a spellbook from scribing or copying spells, and such a character still gets the two free spells with each level of advancement.

So, it doesn't help Oni, but if all you want is maximum flexibility and maximum number of spells, this is it.

Thanks andargor.

I was working from hazy memory--only read the class description once.

Your information is much apreciated.

Although as a balance issue would it an Arcanist that works with dual arcane classes or dual divine classes be broken?

Perhaps... I could imagine someone taking sorc/wiz with different specializations to cover for prohibited schools, and getting 2 extra spell slots per level per day.

Actually, there's a sneaky way of getting around the divine restriction...

clr 1/wiz 1/sor 2

Choose wiz and sor as the 2 classes to advance...
