03-17-08, 11:27 PM so my DM is new to me only had 2 sessions but we get along and i am never one to debate his choices. However doing a mystic theurge against all advice because fits my character to a tee. That being said i've fiddled with getting concept down so far i have decided going to be a sorcerer styled class that is both divine and arcane classes cast like a sorcerer. So! i came accross feat on net, and seemed to fit a theurge well thematically but DM is worried that might be abit unbalancing so! thought i'd post here get other DM's and Players thoughts on feat so he could read this and feel Reassured.

Hybrid Mage [General]
You are able to cast arcane spells as divine spells and vice versa.

Prerequisite: Must be able to cast arcane spells without preparation. Must be able to cast divine spells without preparation.

Benefit: You are able to cast one of your arcane spellcasting class' spells known as a divine spell using your divine spellcasting class' spell slot. The inverse also applies, to where you can cast one of your divine spellcasting class' spells known as an arcane spell using your arcane spellcasting class' spell slot.

Now is another feat from a dragon magazine that does same thing but lets prepare a spell from one class into other classes spell slot at a -1 caster level for that spell, and i agree'd this should probably be in this feat since obviously a version of that same feat. So curious if people think ability to cast spells accross classes is overpowered or if this feat is balanced considering loss of levels and caster levesl a theurge faces.

03-19-08, 11:22 AM Nothing is overpowered. If you only use it here at TO. Anywhere else and it will likely be nerfed beyond your wildest dreams.

Remember boys and girls: Nothing is powerful when compared to Pun-Pun!

03-19-08, 02:38 PM I don't think Hybrid Mage would make a Sorcerer/Favored Soul/Mystic Theurge overpowered. No matter how many spells you can cast per day, or how versatile you are with your spell slots, you still have a limited list of spells known, and all your spells are going to be two whole spell levels lower than anything a full caster is using (because you're four caster levels behind in both classes).
