[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5709284, member: 82679"] Ballistic - PF is not created by WOTC and this for me, is homebrew. I don't say they did a bad, or worse job. I have no great experience with it, apart from knowing that they tried to balance the casters by removing/rewriting some spells and failed horribly. If it lacks balance, and the lore is made up by people like you and me (but who also charge for the use of their stuff) then I'll say no. I have access to all the 3.5 material and as broken as it is, at least I've learned it since coming here and I know where I can expect things to go sour. All in all it's a personal thing - I just don't see any benefits to PF in order to research and learn it in favor of 3.5 4th edition I've condemned completely, and the only reason I might try it some day, when the moon turns pink and I have a lot of free time again, is because WOTC supports that, issues out erratas and provides a comprehensive character builder, which is really neat and helpful. Right now building a level 20 caster for 3.5 might take the better part of a week if spread out. Strahd_Von_Zarovich: Dwarves are generally poor sorcerers. I'd recommend Lesser Aasimar instead, or a Star Elf (if i remember correctly) since they get + cha. If you are dead set on a Dwarf, make use of the Gold Dwarves from Faerun as they at least don't have a -2 Cha (they get a penalty to Dex instead). A Cleric is a much better choice than a Sorc in this scenario. For healing all you need are the Vigor line of spells from SC, and some wands of Lesser Vigor. All the OOC healing you need. In-combat healing is generally sub-par use of spells, though it depends. A Dwarven cleric can become a fearsome melee fighter. (not Fighter as in the Fighter class - 10 times better!) It depends on whether the DM will allow DMM (divine metamagic) and DMM: Persist in particular. If not (and he should definitely ban nightsticks from LM) then you can somewhat forego Cha for other stats. If he does allow it, definitely go for a Gold Dwarf (though Human will be better) Out of the box, clerics are pretty strong. You can also consider a Druid, as the animal companion can scout ahead (as well as summoned animals) and he can wildshape into something with a burrowing speed or something that can break trough walls etc. which could save your party from nasty situations.
