Under the Wolfbrother PrC, upon reaching level one the character gains wolfspeech as a special ability. It says "A wolfbrother can converse telepathically with wolves, speaking mind to mind with them over a distance equal to his level x 10 miles." So, my problem is, I'm not sure which classes levels to use as the mod. Do I use the PrC's levels, the base levels, or both?

That's a good question. I think, based on looking at some of the other PrC, I would rule that it refers to class level (which is to say, levels in the class that grants the ability) not character level (which is to say, total level of all classes that character has). Someone might be able to make a case for it the other way, but that's my gut instinct.

That was the way that I interpreted it too. one of my players is about to MC into that class and I just want to be prepared. It does make sense that it would be the class level & not the character level.

To go off of what Lucius says, generally when going with prestige classes, any time it's mentioned "use levels" without saying character levels, then it means that class level. Vague lil tid-bit from 3e

And the way wolfspeech works, wolves sort of talk through each other, each sending the message to the next, relaying and relaying and relaying. Because they use emotions and thought and concept, not words you don't get the garble like when you play "telephone." So the wolves you communicate with can pass the message on further for you, I would guess. But then, x10 miles is a lot. But that's just my opinion and interpretation.

In the books the wolves have passed messages for Perrin before. I don't think it would really matter that much though. There should be few Wolf-Brothers in the world and there are areas that wolves just don't inhabit. Plus calling wolves from too far away would not really have much of a benefit since what you needed them for will probably be able to work out before they can get to you from the furthest reachs of you communication range.

although the issue seems to be settled, it also makes sense on the level that wolves themselves have wolfspeech that extends 100 miles. thus reaching lvl 10 in the PrC gives you the telepathic communication ability that's normal to wolves.
