Suggestion: Increase practiced-spellcaster to 5 lvs...

Would it be possible to increase practiced spellcaster by 1 lv? I and several others have builds this would help immensely even though the mechanical effect itself is minor.

I say you go the other way, make it 1 Level less! Casters need to be weaker.

There are already many legal abuses with this feat. For example, you are wizard 5 and on 6 th level you progress as Eldritch Knight and take PS feat. This gives your 6th level character 9th caster level without breaking any rules, and you are going to give this character 10th caster lvl?

If this is what is going on, then we need to get it fixed. When the CL bug was fixed, practiced spellcaster was fixed as well and didn't exceed character level.

This would fall in lock step with another RCR period to fix the CL.

Keeping PS where it is , will be likely.

I thought this was fixed a long time ago on BGTSCC. Your CL cannot exceed your effective HD with PSC. Said example would have a CL of 6, not 9.

Tsid is correct. This was fixed at the same time as the Dispel fix which was the March, 2016 'Big Update'. :ugeek:
