Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Draculus Nocturnus.

Spellcasting: At each level except 1st and 6th you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Draculus Nocturnus, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

Alternatively if the Draculus Nocturnus is not a spellcaster she may elect to gain a [fighter] bonus feat she meet the prerequisite of at 2nd and 6th.
