Caster Level Variant

This houserule is derived from the Unearthed Arcana: Magic Rating Variant and functions the same except for one difference. A class level's magic rating are fractionated and stack with one another (rounding down for any fractions). To have a caster level, a character must first have at least 1 level in a class that casts spells.
  • Artificer, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard = 1 Caster Level
  • Paladin, Ranger = 1/2 Caster Level
  • Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, Rogue = 1/4 Caster Level
This caster level variant replaces the need for the Practiced Spellcaster feat and makes multiclassed spellcasters a more viable play option.
