Shadow elf with levels of 4 Fighter / 4 Wizard / 12 Cleric will cast wizard spells with effective caster level of 9 and cleric spells with a effective caster level of 17.
Weapon changes:
In almost all cases, if you equip a weapon that is the same size as your character (i.e., medium weapons on medium races, small weapons on small races), and your off-hand is empty, your character will wield the weapon with two hands, with the appropriate animations and 1.5x strength damage bonus. Note that in some cases the character sheet may fail to update/show the correct value, but it is being applied correctly in combat.
The following weapons are excepted from the above, and will always be used one-handed: Rapier, Katar, Sap, Maug Doublesword, Sai, Wind Fire Wheel.
The server includes most weapon types in the base game and CEP. Exceptions are: CEP Shortspear, Lance. All feats are available for CEP weapons as with normal weapons. All CEP weapons are Finessable if you are at least one size category larger than the weapon. Note that the variety of weapons found/available in shops may be a bit lower for CEP weapons than standard weapon types.

Other PrC Changes:
Dwarven Defender and Arcane Archer are now selectable by any race that meets the other requirements (normal base game alignment/feat etc. requirements and a successful PrC application or PrC legacy).
From a lore standpoint, we still consider these classes linked to Dwarves and Elves respectively as the origins of these fighting styles, but other characters with appropriate backgrounds are able to learn them as well.
