Enchanter bloodline / archetype selection

[St Noble]

I'm really tempted to go crossblooded to take both fey and serpentine, but I'm also very partial to the Tatooed Sorcerer, so I'm at a bit of an impasse. Would like to hear some opinions on these three options:

Crossblooded Fey/serpentine
Tatooed fey
Tatooed serpentine

If it helps, I will be playing a kitsune Sorcerer enchanter. I will be heavily concentrating on mind affecting spells but may dabble a little in other spells for the versatility.

Oh, and PFS friendly.

Here are my thoughts:

I have to admit that I really love the tattooed familiar. Do you like either of the ninth-level powers of Fey or Serpentine? Are you willing to give those up to go tattooed? If so, pick the tattooed archetype of the bloodline that appeals most to you.

While I love the Serpentine arcana, the powers and spells did not do much for me -- but I know others feel differently. The fey arcana gives you a nice DC boost to enchantment, but does not provide the versatility of the serpentine. I like the spell list and bonus powers of fey, though. I say... go with where your fun is.

As for the whole cross-blooded thing, I'm going to argue that cross-blooded is too painful a choice. I know that other posters will immediately disagree with me and tell you this is an eminently viable build decision. Opinions vary.

Reasons why I think this is a painful option:

1) Only 1 first level spell at level one.
2) You don't get your first second level spell until level two.
3) You have to deal with a lower will save.

Reasons why others think that this is survivable:

There are ways to deal with fewer spells (using PP for wands) and later, pages of spell known. There are ways to build to improve that will save with traits. If you still want to do this, you can probably make it work. Just make the choice with your eyes open as to what this will mean for your character.

What level are you starting at? Do you have GM credit so that you can start at level 3, when cross-blooded starts being more viable?

Hmm
