12-26-06, 11:18 PM Be a halfling, strongheart if possible, and take the Mark of Healing (lesser restoration) and Precocious Apprentice. (Lesser Dragonmark can wait 'til L3.) Go Wiz1/Cle or Dru1 then pick any class for the next 2 levels. (You could go Wiz2/Cle or Dru2.) You'll have no experience penalty, though you'd be behind two caster levels in each class. Because of Precocious Apprentice's wording, even if you disqualified for PA from getting L2 spells from any source, you'd still qualify for MT.

12-26-06, 11:23 PM I guess you could do that. It makes for a more balanced Theurge. If you want to specialize in one way you can get into it with -1/-3, which is what I think is better. But if pure balance is really what you want you can do this.

12-27-06, 12:12 AM An easier way with only 1 feat is to take Illumian from Races of Destiny.

Cleric1/Wizard1/Whatever1 and at 3rd level take the feat Improved Krau Power Sigil. Lets you take 2 spells and whenever you cast them they are cast at 1 spell level higher.
4th -13th level you take Mystic Theurge.

To expand upon that the whatever class could be Warlock and you then use your mystic theurge levels to up the Warlock levels. Fill out Mystic for 10 levels and then use the remaining 7 levels to fill out Eldritch Disciple. Gives you a Warlock of 18 and Cleric of 17.

Expanding further with Illumian and that Improved Power Sigil feat and the Militia feat you could gain entry into Eldritch Knight by character level 4. Wizard 3/ Eldritch Knight10/Abjurant Champion 5/Raumathari Battlemage 2 Now you have a BAB of +18 and Wizard 19 casting.

12-27-06, 04:29 AM Complete arcane says that a spell-like ability can be used to qualify for a PrC only if it requires you to be able to cast the spell in question, not spells in general. That's why a character with a lesser mark of passage can qualify for Knight phantom but not Eldritch knight.

12-28-06, 12:14 AM I cannot help but shudder whenever I hear Precocious Apprentice and Mystic Theurge used in the same sentence...
