Greetings, all!

I noticed Mindbender (http://dndtools.eu/classes/mindbender/) has an interesting early entry potential. It requires "arcane caster level 5." Not five class levels, nor the ability to cast level X spells.

A Bard2 can easily qualify by picking charm person as one of his first level spells known and choosing the right skills. Use caster level boosters like Reserves of Strength, a Masterwork Holy Symbol, and Spellgifted to get the caster level of 5. A Bard2/Mindbender1 can pick Mindsight.

A Factotum3 also qualifies using the same tactics, but will probably need to wait longer to pick up Mindsight.

It's something that came to mind. I thought you'd like to know.

Unfortunately, those things all give you extra caster level only when casting the spell to which they apply, so you would have to level up mid-casting for a few levels and not be able to use the class's abilities until you got a permanent CL of 5.
