A spell's power often depends on its caster level, which for most spellcasting characters is equal to your class level in the class you're using to cast the spell.
In the event that a class feature, domain granted power, or other special ability provides an adjustment to your caster level, that adjustment applies not only to effects based on caster level (such as range, duration, and damage dealt) but also to your caster level check to overcome your target's spell resistance and to the caster level used in dispel checks (both the dispel check and the DC of the check).
Notes:
- Level Drain effects and/or spells could cause your caster level to decrease.
- Different caster classes do not stack for the purposes of determining caster level. That is, if a character is 10 Sorcerer/5 Wizard and he casts a Fireball from a Wizard spell slot, the Fireball will be cast at a caster level of five (5d6 fire damage). Likewise, if cast from a Sorcerer slot, the Fireball will have a caster level of ten (10d6 fire damage).
