Oct 09, 2011 10:57:18 What prestige classes are there that grant close-to full casting (preferred arcane), and at least 6 or more skill points per level?

I can only think of Unseen Seer and Virtuoso (which loses the first level casting), Prestige Bard (which loses several levels), and Prestige Ranger (which only advances divine AND loses levels).

This is really for advancing sublime chord after 12th level, so as long as I can take any spellcasting hits before 10th level (as with virtuoso) it really doesn't matter if they lose spellcasting. I don't want to lose spellcasting after that though. But I'm interested in the options anyway, so ones that advance divine casting would also be useful. Thanks!

It does, however, have increasing requirements (at 4th, 7th, and 10th level) to progress through the class.

Are there any ways to increase skill points/level (beyond Int and Nymph's Kiss)? Or change it away from Int as the relevant stat?

There's being human, or one of a couple of other races (mostly ones with human ancestors, like sea kin).
