[pcgen] Re: PRECLASSLEVEL:SPELLCASTER calculated incorrectly

 

Hi Andrew,


If the documentation is incorrect, then the implementation of Improved Familiar requirements (restricting available familiars) is incorrect.


As I said at the end of my first message, the Improved Familiar SHOULD be available based on class level, not on caster level, according to the 'Arcane Spellcaster level' requirement and this part from the Main 3.5 FAQ:


Does a 1st-level wizard/4th-level rogue with Practiced Spellcaster qualify for a prestige class that requires "Spellcaster level 5th"?


No. This prestige class requirement doesn't refer to your caster level (a value which can be modified by many feats, class features, and even temporary effects) but to your actual level in a spellcasting class. (If it helps, you can think of this requirement as "Spellcaster, 5th level.") The same applies for characters whose caster level is less than their class level. A 5th-level paladin meets the "Spellcaster level 5th) requirement, even though her actual caster level is only 2nd.


I would like to have this fixed for Improved Familiar.

However, given your reply I understand there is not really a PRExxx that would handle this correctly. In which case I would suggest removing the restriction from the companionlist addtions for Improved Familiar.


Unless you think my interpretation of the requirement is wrong?
