Dragon Disciple / Sorcerer Multiclass


Advice

Silver Crusade

Hey PF people, i am wondering if multiclassing is worth doing as sorcerer, and if it's worth doing with dragon disciple which basically stacks on top of all the draconic sorcerer bloodline abilities. My concern is if I multiclass, I wont reach a high level with sorcerer. Since spellcasting classes get big 'bonuses'/high level spells and abilities later on(lvl 15-20), multiclassing will keep me from that. Is it worth doing this? Also, this is a Pathfinder Society character so I have restrictions on some things.

Thanks

I play a Bbn4,Src3, DD3 right mow and it is one of my best characters ever. With the hps and fighting ability gained with the BBn and spellcasting from the Src, I can mow down most anything that comes our way.

Haha thats quite the multiclass. I just think the lvl 20 Sorcerer bloodline bonus is such a big thing, although i guess thats the only thing I miss. I saw the Dragon Disciple gets some awesome ability score mods, and it says +1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class. Does that mean sorcerer levels up along with Disciple? Although i think it might be spells per day, as it says above.

Use it if you want to beat things with a side of spellcasting. Its not that great of a spellcaster on its own.

You can also use the new blood rager and be dragony right out of the gate.


The "+1 level of existing arcane spellcasting class" is indeed only spells per day, spells known, and caster level.

If you're talking about a PFS character, don't let thoughts about level 20 sorcerer powers influence your decision about multiclassing. Currently, there is no way to bring a PFS character to level 20, anyway. ;)


If you want to multiclass just a little and you need that 20th level bloodline capstone, you could always grab yourself a Robe of Arcane Heritage.

Furthermore, I'm not sure how PFS legal it is, but it might be useful to grab a Crossblooded sorcerer and pick up the Dragon and Aberrant/Warped bloodlines. The ability score increases from DD and the polymorph buffs from Aberrant/Warped should make for plenty of fun.


Actually a Dragon Disciple does advance his bloodline powers. Normally this is not the case, but the DD gets Blood of Dragons as a class ability and it explicitly says you add your level to determine you bloodline powers. You also have to choose the draconic bloodline, although a crosblood bloodline may also work.

All you lose for going DD is three caster levels over ten levels. In society play you will lose a maximum of two caster levels over seven levels.

Sounds good. Where is crossblood? And So it means I can get to CL 17 but what spells will i have that high if im not actually leveling up? At least im pretty sure im not leveling up just cause caster level gets higher.


Also: Will you really be playing all the way to Level 20?

I was under the impression that Pathfinder Society stopped at level 12.

Was I wrong?

That is incorrect. I know someone with a level 14 Paladin. You can currently get to level 19 i believe.

Well i'd like to get there.. Someone mentioned the robes of arcane heritage which is a fantastic item so i could multiclass with D Disciple.. I think it'll be 2-4 levels of D Disc and the rest would be sorcerer.

Yes and no.

Regular play stops at 12. Then there are VERY limited opportunities to advance. there's the retirement arc at 12 , then you can do sanctioned modules and the yearly specials.

I used to want to try PFS play. Now... ugh.

Why is it so hard to find a good higher level game these days?

Yeah.. agh man that sucks.. well whatever, i enjoy PFS but i really dont like leveling method.. I like leveling up for what you do, not for surviving.

so i think, if i ever get there, I'll be sorcerer 16 Dragon Disciple 4, and use the Robes Of Arcane Heritage cause theyre awesome..


I'd like to reiterate. Dragon Disciple levels stack with your draconic bloodline sorceror levels for the purpose of your bloodline.
If you stayed sorceror 16 dragon disciple 4, you'd be gettinh nothing out of the robes.

Now, if you went Dragon Disciple 10/Sorceror 6/Something else 4 with the robes would still get your bloodline cap ability.
