Help me finish my Dragonwrought Kobold Wizard Sorcerer Ultimate Magus

[Herzog]

I'm building a Kobold Ultimate Magus as a backup character, but I'm a bit stuck on choosing feats and spells.

The basic theme is a Dragonwrought Kobold raised away from his clan, trained as a wizard, his sorcerer side surfacing anyway, only to eventually be turned away by his clan because of his wizzardly ways.

I want to select 'dragon' type feats, but I'm not yet sure which ones (except for dragonwrought and dragon wings)
This is what I have so far:

Kobold
rolls: -> racial -> 4th -> 8th -> 12th
STR 12 -> 8 -> 8 -> 8 -> 8
DEX 12 -> 14 -> 14 -> 14 -> 14
CON 13 -> 11 -> 11 -> 11 -> 11
INT 16 -> 16 -> 16 -> 17 -> 18
WIS 9 -> 9 -> 9 -> 9 -> 9
CHA 15 -> 15 -> 16 -> 16 -> 16

Classes:
1. Wizard 1
2. Wizard 2
3. Wizard 3
4. Wizard 4
5. Wizard 5
6. Sorcerer 1 (GDRP:Sorcerer 2)
7: Ultimate Magus 1: (Sorcerer 3)(SorCL:4,WizCL:6)
8: Ultimate Magus 2: (Sorcerer 4,CL5, Wizard 6,CL7)
9: Ultimate Magus 3: (Sorcerer 5,CL6, Wizard 7,CL8)
10: Ultimate Magus 4: (Sor 6,CL8) WizCL9
11: Ultimate Magus 5: (Sor 7,CL9, Wiz 8,CL10)
12: Ultimate Magus 6: (Sor 8,CL10, Wiz 9,CL11)
13: Ultimate Magus 7: (Sor 9,CL12) WizCL12
14: Ultimate Magus 8: (Sor 10,CL13, Wiz 10,CL13)
15: Ultimate Magus 9: (Sor 11,CL14, Wiz 11,CL14)
16: Ultimate Magus 10: (Sor 12,CL16, Wiz 12,CL16)

Alternate Class Features/Racial Substitution levels:
1. Wizard 1: ACF: -Familiar, -Scribe Scroll, +Eidetic Spellcaster
(Dragon Magazine #357 p.89)
6. Sorcerer 1: Subst: -Familiar, +Draconic Heritage (Races of the Dragon)

Rituals:
5: Draconic Rite of Passage (Races of the Dragon p.43)
6: Greater Draconic Rite of Passage
(Web Enhancement: Races of the Dragon -- Kobolds: Playing to Their Strengths)

Feats:
1. Dragonwrought (Races of the Dragon)
3. Dragon Wings (Races of the Dragon)
5: Wizard Bonus Feat: Extend Spell
6: Draconic Reservoir
(Web Enhancement: Races of the Dragon -- Kobolds: Playing to Their Strengths)
9. Draconic Breath(?) (Races of the Dragon)
11: Ultimate Magus Bonus Feat:Maximize Spell.(?)
12. Improved Dragon Wings(?) (Races of the Dragon)
15: Ultimate Magus Bonus Feat: Persist Spell(?)
Draconic Skin (?) (Races of the Dragon)

Any ideas which additional feats to take? (every feat with a questionmark is open, all the other ones are kind of definite for me)

Also, I have no idea which spells to select.
I will probably be starting at 8th lvl, so please keep that in mind in regard to the spell selection.

While I'll be the first to admit I'm not a CharOp expert, my Ultimate Magus does quite well. Went the specialist wizard route (divination, prohibited: evocation) and used my sorcerer spells to pick up the evocations and a few conjurations I would want to cast repeatedly.

Also took the Energy Substituion feat (great at getting around resistances, especially at +0 spell level) and the Sudden metamagic feats from Complete Arcane. Made me more versatile than a standard sorcerer or wizard. As far as metamgic useable with the class's ability, I prefer Twin/Repeat Spell (for use on your highest level spells) and Extend Spell (find myself hating not having prepped spells with this too often).

My primary character has died, and I really need to start building this guy.

I'll probably start somewhere around lvl 6.

It's going to be a really low-hp guy, so I need some advice on spells to take that make it harder for him to get damaged.

I'm thinking spells like Protection from Arrows, Resist Energy, Protection from Energy, Stoneskin.

Also, to avoid being hit, spells that increase AC and/or Saves.

If possible, spells (or items?) that give improved evasion, improved mettle, etc.

Any suggestions? (mainly on low-level spells, but higher alternatives are very welcome as well)

Draconic Power feat seems to be no-brainer as you already have Draconic Heritage as a bonus feat. Caster level is always important for a mage.

 

[Herzog]

good one!

I'm now thinking: Draconic Power, Energy Substitution, Energy Admixture for metamagic feats.

Still mostly looking for good spells....
