The character continues his spell progression as if he were a bard of 2nd level or higher, but all level dependent abilities i.e. damage dice, caster level checks, range etc. aren't affected by his spell progression from taking the dragon disciple PrC. Hope this helped

Hope this helped No. Dragon Disciple does not advance spell progression. It simply gives seven extra spell slots over the course of its run. The Bard is still a CL 1, and has the spells known of such. He can just cast those spells a couple more times a day.
Elurindel 02-19-05, 07:10 AM	ok, thanks for helping me with that. But here's another one. My paladin is currently level 4, so he's got his first spell, but is his caster level 4 or 1?
