As the title says. I know I want to make a chelish pathfinder who eventually takes the Diabolist PrC but due to having an abysmal Irl wisdom score do not want to enter with cleric. I considered wizard at first....but now have been also considering the Oracle. However....since there is no real summoning or infernal mystery I am not sure what mysetery an asmodeian chelish oracle headed to Diabolist should choose. If anybody has ideas I would be grateful if you shared them.
Well I think you can choose whatever you want, Diabolist doesn't change anything that much, and I don't see any mystery that really synergizes well or poorly with Diabolist.
Thematically I'd say Dark Tapestry and Outer Rifts.
Blasting: Flames may be a decent choice. Lots of good blasts that you can turn into hellfire. Or waves may give some nice contrast.
Actually, I think Oracle would, in theory, get it later than the Wizard, because you need a 6th level spell either way. However, I don't see any problem with going Oracle.
Now, as to appropriate mysteries, you're wide open. I'd recommend Lore or Occult (Rasputin Must Die) as possibilities, as well.
Best curse: Legalistic (Blood of Fiends).
If you go Legalistic and take a very careful look at the realm of finances, of overlapping contracts, and of the succession of cascading contracts on the true owner of a particular soul, then I would also recommend Time.
Actually, yes, that's my recommendation, a Legalistic Time Oracle.
My diabolist is a wizard, though I'm only dipping a single levevl. The oracle only gets it one level earlier than the wizard, so thats not a big issue.
