Well fortunately it doesn't work that way.

1 Cleric / 11 Sorc can only cast level 1 cleric spells.

The game is combining total spell levels for arcane or divine levels, in fact NWN1&2 already did this - 'Your arcane / divine spellcasting raises every level / every other level / every level beyond first'.

Seems to be working as intended. If you think it isn't send a support email.

I was talking about how the 5E P&P rules work vs BG 3 rules work. For PnP it is correct that for spell slots you add up total caster classes - so a Wizard 10/Cleric 10 does have level 9 spell slots. He just can't prepare spells of that level, so they can only be used to upcast lower level. In BG 3 on the other hand, he can also learn and prepare them, which is an issue with the game.

I know how 3.5 worked.
