Hi, I'm new here and fairly new to Pathfinder RPG. I started out playing D&D 4th Ed (which, imo, isn't that bad gameplay wise, it's just too much like WoW), where my first character was a Dragon Sorcerer named Arcwell. Now, I play Pathfinder and have been for a while, which I find much more versatile and a lot more satisfying, especially with casters, who have a nearly infinite range of builds with the many spells, bloodlines, and schools.
I really love Sorcerers and Wizards, and one of the reasons they appeal to me is the Sorcerer draws his magic from his blood, his soul, his own inner force of will, while a Wizard learns how to manipulate magic using spell phrases to "tell" the magic what to do, complex hand gestures to "move" or "guide" the magic, and materials to give the magic "fuel". Sorcerers are creative artists, Wizards are logical architects. What I want is to blend these two together and make an awesome Sorcerer trained as a Wizard in order to hone (or control) his power, or a Wizard who's bloodline suddenly awakens after years of arcane study.
However, I have a question regarding multiclassing Wizards and Sorcerers together. I understand that bloodline abilities and school abilities stack in most cases regarding spells, but when you start combining spells known and spells per day, the line between Wizards and Sorcerers becomes blurred because they have the same spell lists and their methods of casting are different. Sorcerers cast spontaneously, but can you spontaneously cast spells that you know/learned as a Wizard? What about prepared spells? Can you prepare any Wiz/Sorc spell you know, or can you only prepare the spells you have in your spellbook? Wizards also use Int for their DC's when casting spells, and Sorcerers use Cha, so it would make sense that casting spells spontaneously uses Cha, and prepared spells use Int (since you need to memorize prepared spells, but to cast a spell spontaneously you use your force of will). But what about caster levels? Do the levels you get from a Wizard stack with the levels you get from the Sorcerer?
Any critique, advice, and/or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you! ^_^
