[louisvilleslugger]

"Lolth-Touched" (secret eXtremely Rare)
- FCs: Wizard, Cleric
- Female: WIS +8, INT +4, Spellcraft +40
- Female Free Feats: 2 Great Wis, Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, ESF: Concentration
- Female Other: +5 DC to Poison spell
- Male: WIS +4, INT +8, Spellcraft +40
- Male Free Feats: 2 Great Intelligence, Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration

I have a C26, W13, Rog1.
It has a 20% xp penalty.
According to documentation, it shouldn't.
Posting to see if this is bug or mis-documentation.

maybe female is fc cleric and male is fc wizard, not both for both as doc implies?

that's how drow noble is, anyway

Could be. It's either a bug or a documentation error. Hoping for bug of course Hate xp penalties.

What Bale says, working as intended. A build can have only 1 FC at a time, not both cleric and wizard (like in this case). It is the difference of C26-R1 (or W13-R1, whichever way you like to look at it) that makes problems. This only applies to FC; BC overrides everything, prestige classes never count towards penalties and special cases (Undying) are, well... special.

Edit: The description would indeed be more accurate if it said something like it does for general gnomes:

- Gnomes who have any Bard levels have Bard as their favored class rather than Wizard. (instead of plain "FC: Wizard, Bard")

But that would be too much typing.
