07-13-07, 01:12 PM According to the description, Driders cast spells as a level 6 wizard, sorceror or cleric. Let's say we choose sorceror. If I now add 5 levels of Sorceror, Do I cast as an 11th level sorceror, or as a 5th level sorceror and also as a 6th level sorceror. I know this seems a little odd, but I could see arguments for both sides.

07-13-07, 01:20 PM The way that I took it is that a character must have 6 levels in any of those classes to actually become a drider. So adding on more class levels in any of those would just increase their current levels. I don't know if this is fact or not, but that's how I've always ruled it.

Though it might be a better idea to take a PrC that has +1 previous spellcasting.

Good point. Thanks.

I'd recommend taking one level in Fighter or Ranger, then jumping right into the Eldritch Knight prestige class. You can also qualify for assassin right off the bat, if you're so inclined.
