My gut reaction is no, you have to use two slots from 1 class to gain a higher level from that same class. Is there any body who thinks that you should be able to combine classes and why?

Nothing in the feat indicates you can combine classes, so the default way would be that the spell slots need to come from the class you are casting the spell currently.

But to clarify on a related point, you don't pick a single class when you pick the feat, so at any given moment you could choose to bard spell slots to cast a higher level bard spell, or two sorcerer spell slots to cast a higher level sorcerer spell slot. You can always do either, just not both at the same time. :)

06-04-07, 01:20 PM The Ultimate Magus is a prestige class that can do things similar to what you want Versatile spellcaster to do.

I would therefore say no, Versatile Spellcaster can not do it.

06-04-07, 11:07 PM Thats what I thought. I'm just DMing and somebody may be taking that feat and I wanted to make sure we were on the same page before the campaign started. Everything stated was how I interpreted it, I just could see people interpreting the other way and wanted to see if there was actually anybody who did.
