Player Resource Consortium Doesn't the practiced spellcaster feats still cap you at your character level? Also are the true necromancer levels adding caster levels to cleric or wizard? I thought I read it will add to your characters highest casting class. Finally I am assuming that focused spellcaster: cleric was a mistype for practiced. Is that correct?

Yah, its Practised Spellcaster: Cleric.

Practised adds +4 up to your HD. Given that its 35/40 Arcane (TNecro adds exclusively to arcane spellcasting), it pushes you to 39/40, and for cleric it goes from 7/40 to 11/40.

The TN casting special is that it adds the caster level of your cleric, wizard/sorc, and true necro levels together when you cast a necromancy spell. The way this is setup, you should actually be casting as a level 48 for Necromancy spells.
