<p>Basically his early actions are going to amount to Daze when he can to prevent the goblins from attacking. His arcane bolt and acid splash will provide actual damage when it looks likely to end an enemy (which with goblins should be often since the arcane bolt is going to do 1d4+2 with point blank shot). Movement will be to get away from melee as much as possible (generally a five foot step) or to get just into range for his spells.</p>
<p>Vanish will be used to get clear of bad situations and to protect allies/ NPCs that he can reach.</p>
<p>This pattern will probably repeat for the first three encounters. I'm honestly not expecting too much from him at this point unfortunately — he's got just enough damage to contribute and just enough tricks to help out in a pinch, hopefully without needing too much back up on his own. Quite frankly this isn't going to be his strongest point of contribution.</p>Alright I'm back -- sorry con was long and had PT today, feats will be point blank and precise shot, traits are going to be Focused Mind and Lessons of Chaldira (spent a lot of time living with halflings as a youth).

<p>what will your sorcerers role be in combat at 1/3/5/7/9, i'm sure with that ammount of skill points and the class skills you get from seeker you can be an effective rogue for the purposes of detecting and disabling traps but what are you planning on bringing to the table for fights?</p>

<p>i would consider crossblooded anyway as that 9th level power is really very good, but once again is it better than an extra spell known per spell level? the specific spells known that you want are entirely cancelled out by just not being crossblooded so it basicly comes down to the ability in my opinion.</p>
<p>either way excellent concept, but these are all questions i would ask if we were sat at my house around a table while writing characters before we started an ap.</p>Abraham spalding wrote:Honestly I understand where you are coming from Egoish -- however I'm specifically wanting the 9th level shadow power, the capstone, and some of the specific spells known.
