(General)
The transition into a spellcasting prestige class is less difficult for you, and because of this, you gain 1 additional effective spellcaster level from your prestige class levels.
Prerequisites
Favored Prestige Class with selected prestige class.
Benefit
The first time you gain a level in your
Favored Prestige Class and the spells per day class feature does not grant an increase in effective level for the purpose of casting spells, you gain new spells per day as if the prestige class did grant +1 level of spellcasting for that level. This effect is retroactive if you gain this feat at a level beyond the point where your
Favored Prestige Class would normally have not advanced your spellcasting. The
Prestigious Spellcaster feat does not have any effect if your
Favored Prestige Class does not have the spells per day class feature, or if it does have the spells per day class feature but already grants a level increase for every level of the prestige class (as do the arcane trickster and loremaster prestige classes).
Special
You can select the
Prestigious Spellcaster feat multiple times. Each time you select the
Prestigious Spellcaster feat, your effective caster level increases by 1. However, regardless of the number of times you choose this feat, the total increase to your effective caster level cannot exceed your actual prestige class level. This feat also applies to prestige classes that grant extracts per day instead of spells per day.
