Psychic with Sorcerer Dip...Worth it?


Advice


What say you good people of the advice forums,

I love the Psychic and have been wanting to play an enchantment/compulsion based caster for a while. I was debating if I should strengthen up my mind effecting spells by taking a dip in Sorcerer for some blood line arcana (or two with cross blooded).

Serpentine Arcane gives me the ability to use my charm person spells on Animals, Monstrous Humonoids, and Magical Beasts and assume we share spells.

Fey would give me +2 to my DC's.

other: Impossible would give me the ability to use it on Constructs (my DM would hate me for that), Verdant (We never play against plants), and Undead (I can do this with the Phrenic Class ability).

DO you think the dip in sorcerer is worth it? It pushes my spell casting back an extra level behind Sorcerer progression. I was comfortable with this as a Wizard with a Sorcerer Dip, but I am debating if the dip is just a bit too much of a draw back to my progression.


What about Crossblooded with the Psychic bloodline? You get most of the psychic spells and because of the arcana you count as a psychic caster. At a certain level you'll even get Undercasting

Its an idea/alternative to this. Allowing me to wear armor.I hadn't really looked at the bloodline till now so thank you...further complicating my decision =[.

Anyone have any history/experience playing enchanter characters? I know by focusing on the save or die(suck) spells I am making myself weaker then a conjurer/battlefield control caster. This is on purpose...My group tends to be more straight forward and doesn't think outside of the box so they view me as being TOO powerful with whatever character I do...so I figure more straight forward with some subtley aspects outside of combat would be nice.


Playing enchanters is fine, just have some backup option when some enemy immune appears, like undeads.

Yeah, obviously Summon Monster and some battlefield control can cover that. Though Threnodic Spell feat will let me effect undead...
