eh? unless im missing something in question and answers??

rangers and paladins maximum casting level is 9.

for paladins your caster level is your level - 8 maxing at caster level 9 at level 17

for rangers your caster level is your level - 7 maxing at caster level 9 at level 16

although you ofcourse can continue to level your ranger past level 16 their caster level will never improve beyond 9. so as was posted below you cannot reach caster level 20 at level 27. a level 27 ranger would still have a caster level of 9 for spell effects, a level 40000000 ranger would also still cast spells as a level 9 caster. a level 12 ranger as per your example has a caster level of 5 (all spells that say whatever/level you will be counted as having 5 levels)

all this info is in the TOB manual (page 33 for rangers, 34 for paladins), and the SOA manual (page 119 for paladins and 120 for rangers)
