05-01-07, 12:34 PM If you're referring to fochlucan lyrist, mystic theurge, ultimate magus, cerebremancer, etc., yes, you gain both progressions. It is fair because when single-classed PCs are casting ice storm, you are casting melf's acid arrow.

05-02-07, 01:35 PM Usually it is one +1 and 1/2 level, not the two you implied.

And if comparing a wizard/cleric/mystic theurge to a sorceror it is a straight 1 level behind.

However, not only do you generally cast spells of one full level lower than other people, you also lose out on other, non-spell casting abilities.

That is your familiar does not grow in power, if you are a Wizard, you lose the bonus feats at 5th and 10th level, if you are a Druid, you lose the wildshape stuff, etc.
