Oracle Arcane Trickster build help request


Advice


Alright, so I have an Aasimar Oracle at level 1. I just completed a Module that levels him to 2. This is a PFS character and my Aasimar is Grandfathered in, just for reference.

I'm running a Musetouched Aasimar Oracle/Ninja.

Glitterdust qualifies as a 2nd level spell, Haunted Curse gives me Mage Hand as a bonus spell, and 3 levels of Ninja give me 2 Sneak Attack dice, allowing me to qualify for Arcane Trickster at level 5.

Flame Mystery gives me Gaze of Flames - Lets me see through Fog, Smoke and fire (60 foot dark vision to top it off)

One of my traits is Magical Knack - +2 Caster Level on spells, up to current hit dice.

Other trait is either going to be Armor Expert (-1 on armor check penalties for when I get Mithral Breastplate later) or Magical Lineage - Obscuring Mist.

My two first level spells are Obscuring Mist (since I can see through it which allows me to take AOOs and steath for sneak attacks) and Summon Monster I, so I can get a flank from my summoned creature.

I have a few options that I'm considering at the moment. I am considering taking Magical Lineage with Widen Spell so I can keep Obscuring Mist as a 1st level spell and have it cover a 40 foot spread.

I'm also considering using Spring Attack with this build so I can run through the mist dealing sneak attack damage and regaining my stealth afterwards.

Currently using a Masterwork Cold Iron Wakizashi.

So, if anyone has suggestions on how to pimp this character out more, I'm all ears!

I don't see any reason to go into Arcane Trickster. You don't have an arcane spellcasting class to advance and the oracle barely has any spells to use with Surprise Spells. Just stick with ninja and increase your SA.


"When a new arcane trickster level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class. She does not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known (if she is a spontaneous spellcaster), and an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming an arcane trickster, she must decide to which class she adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day."

Doesn't have to be Arcane, that's why I'm having fun with it. You can raise divine casting levels with it.

Well that's certainly unusual that it's called arcane trickster but can advance a divine class.


Yeah, without going Haunted Oracle or taking the Two-world Magic trait for Mage Hand it's really hard to qualify for it as a Divine Caster.
