I have a feeling that a Chelish devil binder and his imp familiar will be appearing soon to take you to task, while making snide comments about the state of Andoran education if I do not do so myself. I'm a wizard with my nose in books most of the time, so excuse me blunt language.

It appears that you typed this entire post using your mobile phone, considering your lack of punctuation and capital letters throughout the entire post. Also "o by the way if your teaching me stuff..", should be more appropriately put as "Oh, by the way if you're teaching me stuff..".
Furthermore, your sentence "but i was a gunslinger a really good one at that i just started adventuring.." does not make much sense.

It is highly recommended that you sit at a computer and type the post so that it is easier on your readers, if you wish them to help you.

Next - what are you trying to accomplish by mixing gunslinger and sorcerer. They don't mix very well. The primary stats of a gunslinger are wis + dex, while a sorcerer uses mainly cha. The result is that you will be multiple ability dependent (MAD). There is an archtype - mysterious stranger which uses cha, but that archtype gives up gun training - which most people find the trade off not worth it - since gun training allows you to use your dex modifier(probably your highest stat) on your gun's damage rolls.

Each level you take as a gunslinger means one less caster level as a sorcerer which means you have less spells to play with, and may never access the higher level spells. As a general rule of the thumb, do not give up caster levels unless you have good reason to do so.

Gunslingers also have the option of going around in light armor - which will screw your sorcerer side up unless you take arcane armor training, or use still spell. Alternatively, you can walk around in mage armor.

At the end of the day, unless you know of some things that I don't know of - you'll realize that you have to make a choice between what you wish to play, or you'll never be a decent gunslinger or sorcerer.

sorry my comrade, i was writing fairly early in the morn,

( btw i know it doesnt seem it by my writing but he is a wisdom style and is a wild blood Empyreal and he is only 2 second level that why i was writing with out social graces and also his cha is an 8)

but i hear what your saying, mage armor i have acquired a wand of this thank you for your assistance

what i think i was asking for was for maybe to find someone inside our Andoran who could work with me perhaps?

thanks for your advice

Blunderbuss
