Magic items. This is where it gets tricky for me i get very overwhelmed by all the options.

I'm going to steal from lughart, and go cloak of resist +3, headband +4 wisdom.

Other than that I would like a +1 dragonhide breastplate, if i can somehow add the foldin option
it's in the APG 284, instead of normal +1 fullplate, have it be +1 dragonhide for coolness factor
12k gold

And I would like opinions on whether to go greataxe, or scimitar + shield.

thanks everyone

Having never really played a vancian caster, I could definitely use some advice on the specifics for my character... >.>

Is what I have a decent base? Should I move attributes, etc...?

My vision would be a character who is 'decent' in melee combat but primarily focuses on casting to empower his 'vision' (his eidolon) and force that on his opponents, using him to lock down opponents while he can laugh at their inability to defend against him.

I'm no expert but here's my take. It looks pretty solid, and I realize a summoner has a limited list. I would look hard at what the save dc is going to be for your spells when picking slow, and baleful polymorph.
I can't remember the everyone's char, but haste is a solid choice at second, or heroism at third.

I understand if you don't want your char to be just a buff, those are kinda your only direct attack type spells, and they are just as decisive in a battle, there's just a chance they won't land though.

So, your choices from my read, seem solid, probably not the uber-optimized, but very strong and playable.

You'll notice my character concept is trying to be more buff spells then attack spells, but that fits my concept.

Well, how high does my DC have to BE? >.> I wanted something to muck up my enemies as opposed to just being a buff battery... lol.

 

[GlassEye]

If you want to muck up your enemies then I would suggest you exchange fire shield for black tentacles (which has no save & avoids SR, just a CMB check, great against spellcasters). And the monsters from Summon Monster 2 are not likely to be terribly useful at your level (10th is it?) unless you are going against mooks so I would probably exchange that one for haste. I know you don't want to be a buff battery but haste is really hard to beat.

Here is my spell list again to coordinat our efforts:

0 (9) - detect magic, read magic, message, prestidigitation, dancing light, acid splash, ghost sound, mage hand, detect poison
1 (5) - charm animals - magic missle, mage armor, mount, color spray, shield
2 (4) - summon swarm - resist energy, glitterdust, flaming sphere, invisibility
3 (3) - contagion - stinking cloud, slow, dispel magic
4 (2) - repel vermin - Black tentacles, dimension door
5 (1) - Overland Flight

As you can see, black tentacles and slow are already on my list. Fire shield is far from bad, but hase beats SM 2.

Class Skill: Heal

Bonus Spells: charm animal (3rd), summon swarm (5th), contagion (7th), repel vermin (9th), insect plague (11th), eyebite (13th), creeping doom (15th), horrid wilting (17th), power word kill (19th).

Bonus Feats: Brew Potion, Diehard, Endurance, Great Fortitude, Self Sufficient, Skill Focus (Knowledge [nature]), Silent Spell, Toughness

Bloodline Arcana: Vermin are susceptible to your mind-affecting spells. They are treated as animals for the purposes of determining which mind-affecting spells affect them.

Bloodline Powers

Plague’s Caress (Sp): At 1st level, you can make a melee touch attack as a standard action that causes a living creature’s flesh to break out into rancid-smelling pustules and sores for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your sorcerer level (minimum 1 round). These sores cause the victim to become sickened for the duration of the effect; this is a disease effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.

Accustomed to Awfulness (Ex): At 3rd level, you become immune to the sickened condition and gain a +4 bonus on all saving throws against effects that cause nausea or disease.
At 9th level, you become immune to the nauseated condition and to the debilitating effects of disease (but you can still be a carrier of diseases).

Shroud of Vermin (Su): At 9th level, swarms no longer see you as prey. You can walk among swarms without fear of being harmed by them at all, and by taking a standard action to mentally command a swarm in which you stand, you can direct that swarm’s attacks and movements as long as you have more Hit Dice than the swarm. Even when you aren’t standing amid a swarm, your body crawls with vermin, and their chitinous bodies increase your natural armor bonus by +1.
At 11th level, this bonus increases to +2, and at 17th level it increases to +3.
