Warlock and PM - warlock spells not at correct CL for spell penetration

Post by jomonog » Fri Jun 04, 2021 1:38 pm

Description of Bug Experienced:

I made a warlock/pm with 10 warlock levels and 16 pm levels in PGCC and tested casting warlock spells on various creatures. I had epic spell penetration so should be casting non-necro spells at CL 24 (10 + 8 + 6). Creatures with spell resistance were however resisting spells statistically more regularly than possible based on the spell resistance they had. In some cases spells were being resisted regularly by creatures with spell resistance less than 24 which should not be possible. It seems as though the casting CL for spell penetration for warlock/pm multiclass only counts warlock levels and not also PM levels.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Make warlock PM multiclass character and test spells on creatures with spell resistance.

Expected Result:
CL for non-necro spells should be warlock levels + 1/2 PM levels + spell penetration feats (if any).

Actual Result:
CL for non-necro spells is much less with suspicion based on test results that it only being set at warlock levels and is ignoring PM levels.
