(even unconscious, the orcs was a perfect example. Just need one person awake.) We need to keep two of the CLW wands in the party at all times.  I have had PFS modules where I have used an entire wand after combat to heal back up.Stone Call: Good spell.  You already had four good sorc spells, so I didn't pull any others for suggestions.  The Darkvision can be moved to a couple of scrolls at 150 gp each.  Actually before that, Rope Trick!  Being able to sleep without night watches and encounters is amazingly helpful.  And you are the only one who can cast the spell for us.Sleep is a trap.  Buy three scrolls.  I bet you won't use all three by fourth level.  With the exception of orcs, if they only have 4 HD in their party, we will walk through them in the first round.  Orcs are special with ferocity making them 3 HD each before they fall.  A lone bard in the woods could try to sneak and use sleep.  You have 3 melees in front of you. Feats: Lingering Song (1st), Combat Casting (3rd), Expanded Arcana (5th) (take two first level spells)Your spell list is all over the place school wise.  So, the Spell Focus is not as useful.  Expanded Arcana is a feat you probably want to take multiple times in your career, and always go for the two spells at lower option.Definitely Vanish.  Expeditious Retreat is a good scroll candidate.  As the summoner, an unfetter followed by exp retreat could make Toddy a 70' charging machine.  Without the unfetter, he could outrun his lifeline leash in less than a round and fall to 1/2 hit points.  In the time to cast both spells, much of the battle would already be finished though.  Vanish also means you are not taking Invisibility at second level, and open up the slot for other good spells.</blockquote>
