[QUOTE="harikus, post: 6155896, member: 6703882"] I know for a fact that I wanted my first Pathfinder to be a Sorcerer. I always enjoyed the idea of a Sorcerer since I first saw it in Baldur's Gate 2. I have narrowed my selection to some different ideas. Not necessarily in the order I mentioned them. 1. [COLOR=#800000]Ifrit Wishcrafter (Flame Elemental Bloodline)[/COLOR] I wanted to do this mostly because the flavor appealed to me. Frankly I don't know what sorta campaign we are doing or how far we will go. My question is this, since Concentration is basically a roll d20+caster level+primary state...does it make sense to go ahead and just max out at 20 CHA? And the extra CHA you get from taking Fire Elemental Bloodline, is it only considered for spells or can it also work in Concentration? 2. Drow Sorcerer (Arcane Bloodline) I have always loved the Drow since I first read the Dark Elf Trilogy. I doubt our GM will allow me to be a Drow Noble, unless of course we are doing a Drow specific campaign. One of the things I liked about the Drow is that I can take a. Ambitious Schemer so I can take Diplomacy as a class skill and gain the +2 bonus. Does this sound wise? The skill seems to good to be true on a Sorcerer as a class skill. b. If we are on the surface a lot, I could take Surface Infiltrator, this drops dark vision and light blindness and gains me low-light vision instead. c. The Favored Class Option Drow get for Sorcerer lets me add one spell known from Sorcerer spell list...but it must have evil curse and pain descriptor. My question on this is, are these spells any good or am I being limited really badly? I figure if its limiting I still have Arcane to make up for it with its pure power. 3. And the least favorable, but most likely choice if we are doing a high powered campaign...Human Sorcerer (Arcane Bloodline). Now the human favored class option, can I EVER pick level 9 spells with it? Or is it pretty much stuck at picking level 8 spells at its highest? 4. Also might as well ask this, Is the Sylvan bloodline very useful? I understand they get boost DC to enchantment or compulsion? Did these somehow become cooler in Pathfinder where they seemed less so in 3.5? [/QUOTE]
