→That Progression
::::::::To quantify my unease: when leveling to 8, getting 1st level spells is nothing: a level 7 character is an encounter level of 7 with or without a level 1 Wizard companion, and buying items for the 1st level spells you want doesn't put a very significant drain on your monetary resources. Getting 9th level spells at level 17 is so great a level 17 Wizard has nothing other than spells; seven levels in other classes is probably better than none, even if they're only the first 7 levels.
::::::::If I was going for a delayed good casting progression, I'd probably start at 3rd if you enter at level 8 or 9, then get 4th at the next level, then one spell level every two class levels thereafter. --[[User:Foxwarrior|Foxwarrior]] ([[User talk:Foxwarrior|talk]]) 06:43, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Not sure what you mean Fox, though I admit I haven't really looked in depth in Luigi's class. I postly commented to answer what kind of progression it was (fast) and offer my solution to the problem fast progression has. The cheese with Ur-Priest isn't (just) fast progression but that people go Something/Ur-Priest 1/Cool PrC 10, avoiding the underwhelming Ur-Priest class features while reaping the benefits of fast progression in the PrC of your choice.
:::::::::I agree with your analysis that getting 1st level spells late game is not important. The trick with making fast progressions like this is to provide other features at early levels, making the low level spells extra, and then ease up on high levels when you've caught up your spell progression with other casters. -- [[User:Eiji-kun|Eiji-kun]] ([[User talk:Eiji-kun|talk]]) 07:23, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
