Say I have a Paladin who has taken the Sword of the Arcane Order feat and levels of Knights of the Weave PrC
Now could said Paladin add Wizard spells to his Knights of the Weave Known spell list? (from the Sword of the Arcane Order Feat) |

I'm still trying to figure out the Selune paladins from this book |

{Essentially, the Knight of the Weave has a very limited spell list for balancing reasons. Expanding that list is very possibly overpowered.}
Hmm, it has been a long time since I read the book, and I don't remember if that's one of the prestige classes I wrote, but if it *was*, I should point out that I design spell lists for thematic reasons, not balancing reasons. Other aspects of the class may be balanced around that, but adding a spell or two to a class list shouldn't be too traumatic ... especially if you're spending a feat to do so. |

Nah, that's the conversion table for Perversity points in Paranoia...
I see you ended up with a triple post, just like me.
Damn post errors...fixed now. |

Both are very valid

That's why you do what I've done. I've photocopied and enlarged the 'golden rule' from the 3.5 DMG and had it posted behind my chair. If a rules lawyer starts to argue with me, I point at it. Problem (usually) solved. |

Very true, and that's part of the reason I usually DM. |

Having people who know the rules like the back of their hand around is rather helpful sometimes...

That is the suggested alternative, yes. |

Warning: It arguably is. See Other Spellcasting Classes, page 3 of the Spell Compendium. |

Personal house rule.
If you take Knight of the Weave levels, and the feats Sword of the Arcane Order and Practiced Spellcaster, you can do what you want eg add wizard spells to the Knight of the Weave list.
It might not be strictly according to the rules, but it doesn't seem unbalanced and it certainly seems like it fits the "flavour" of the organisation. |

Ill have to try something else then
What are you looking for?
Basicly Im fleshing out the Cult of the Ascended Lovers group that Eric Boyd mentions in his Age of Worms FR Conversion. There a group who worships both Kelemvor and Mystra
What I was thinking of was making the Cult of the Ascended lovers a group that spans elements of Kelemvors Knights of the Eternal order and Mystras Guardians of the Weave (Or Knights of the Mystic Fire)
The Knights of the Eternal order are all about putting down undead
The Guardians of the Weave are all about destroying evil arcane spell casters
Lichs and Vampires are Undead, ussually evil and frequently Arcane Spellcasters ie the natural enemy of both orders
At the moment Im creating a husband and wife team for the Cult of the Ascended lovers for the Daggerford article Im woring on for Candlekeep( A 3.5 update and timeline boost for the Daggerford). One will be a Guardian of the Weave/Knight of the Mystic Fire and the other other a member of the Knights of the Eternal order.
Both are Paladins but Im trying to give the Guardian of the Weave NPC a bit of an Arcane kick

No, but you do get a free class progression template from your local Powergamers'R'Us.
As for the ruling: No, as they're separate spellcasting class abilities and there's no note of equivalency.
