If i am an ecclesitheurge（ACG） and get the ability of Bonded Holy Symbol,

can i get a familiar by feat Eldritch Heritage(to achieve the Arcane Bond from Arcane Bloodline)?

Lets complicate things still further like I did making oh so many mistakes beyond belief. I have a (Half-human/Half-elf)Arcanist4/Ecclesitheurge3/Mystic Theurge5. This is Homebrewed, but, claims strict adherence to PFS books acquired. CORE,ACG and only a couple of others Inner Sea, Occult, Campaign off top of my head.

I know I possibly necro'd this however....

I get a divine bond at Ecclesitheurge 3rd Level,
The Arcanist:
Familiar (Ex): An arcanist with this exploit can acquire a familiar as the arcane bond wizard class feature, using her arcanist level as her wizard level to determine any of the statistics and abilities of the familiar. If the arcanist receives a familiar from another class, her levels of arcanist stack with the levels from that class when determining the familiar's statistics and abilities (this ability does not stack with a familiar gained through the bloodline development exploit; she must choose one or the other).

I assume a character may not have a (divine) bonded object and a_(n arcane bonded) familiar. Or 2 familiars named Florence and Erlynmeyer or 2 bonded objects attached to one another around one's neck/ring or whatever.

Just for more interest and possibilities Home Brew Pantheon Neutral god of Magic (Magic, Time, Nobility domains) Picked Magic primary and Time secondary. What may I do and what may I not do quick quid pro quo RAW, and then some RAI thoughts. I have not thought this through very well-NOTED.

or worse.

Ok looks like I said something boring.

You could take a dip in Devout Pilgrim and see if that adds to your flavor or not.

There is some funkyness, I have been researching. Each of these animals have slots, it is merely which ones I have to work with depending on the creature. At 3rd level I can have craft wondrous item feat, however, permanency is a 5th level spell acquired at character's arcane class level 9th if working from the sorc/wiz list.
I have to get the animal (Int 1 or 2 past 3 and up to something that would make it able to have a skill point possibly, subject it to successful training animal skill check to get past yes and no questions and not have a "Lassie come home" dialogue. I am still limited as intelligent as the animal has become it still may not have an apparatus to mimic the common language.

The Faerie Dragon is what I am looking at as a possibility at 7th with improved familiar feat, and it doesn't have a similar voice box making it kind of difficult, however, at a Level 3 sorcerer class and a head band or other slot/slot-less item made to gain the correct SLA or spell might seem like the way to go. Not sure if it is allowed to have a familiar if it is already acting as a familiar, but it is a Sorcerer, not sure If I can get it a bonded object yet.

I am looking at all of the animal extensions to a PC, Familiar, Companion, and Mount; I think I am missing and forgetting one here; kinda tired from running all day, I will stop here, probably not having helped. I just figured looking at these other things might give you an answer that wasn't just spending gold to buy stuff.

I have lost the Pirate, Neutral Amoral Greedy. I am in mid-creation and running into queries; to the list, arcane caster slot, mid 11th almost 12th. 50K buying power any published PFS, No 3rd party materials and recently returning after a 12+ month hiatus away from PFS.
This is an arcane slot, my preference is for a real Wizard D&D-2.0 (make a scroll, a potion, whatever was needed ). Get creative and make the magic DO for you, just 3.5 instead.
Battlefield Control first, I have a hankering for doing something different: IDTA (I did that already), Wizard exploiter, most sorcerous bloodlines there are more than a few yet to go.
An Arcanist/Magus seems interesting, I have gotten clearance for some different things: I may have the leadership feat, I may design a cohort, whatever familiar and or bonded object I get will be a target, and will not be ignored even when hiding it. Of course out of sight out of mind.
It is a water world of Islands, GM used Inland sea to make a new race. I am going to be brother to another character, 12th level priest, looking at crafting to make what I want if an arcanist appeals, my stats are rolled and Extraordinary.
Stats analysis, I can build an army at this level with leadership and Charisma, have done some suggested reading about how to not bog down, not OP, and wind up not sharing time with the others over this feat. Mostly I want to have fun since the new guy doesn't get words of power. So crafting interesting things was next on the list after battlefield control. Which also translates as short term buffs sometimes longer term.
If I want to use something from the old times in beginning PFS she will consider it since I am catching up, I have a little preference for just moving forward in good faith at having good fun. Having said that there are lots of things I have never done with lots of prestige classes and such. I also will either be human 1/2 human, 1/2 elf or elf whatever variety including aquan, sun, moon or other, just not drow/ebonwarrior.

I had a blink dog (actually played as a golden retriever lab mix that would fetch things and play chase the dog)
I had a moon cat named Schroedinger, and it thought outside the box.
After those I had a psuedodragon ((Erlynmeyer) that came out of a thin blue staple bound book with a dragon on the cover. He did do some rather interesting things, like steal the opposing casters wand out of their hand. Use said wand on opposing caster's imp familiar.
Another psuedodragon ((Florence) to sit on the disk of treasure that followed me. Shared MY treasure with a baby red dragon ((Kalkrix) on yet another disk that followed so as the joke goes "I had a towed dragon array"
And the last one, "Absolutely no dragons allowed in my world" , ok Mr. GM, how do you feel about lizards. Lizards are fine. Can they have wings? okay they can have wings, but, no breath weapons. [I get in trouble a lot.] How do you feel about a blinking ghecko shocker lizard with wings? Lemme think about it. Ok you can have it. So Ghoti pronounced fish got to be a 3rd level Arcanist Brown Fur Transmuter wordcaster, and convinced the dragons to come back.
I am choosing a new familiar for yet another caster, we shall see....

There is something to be said for HASTE, and a few others like LIGHT that just don't move over to word casting easily, Illusion and Enchantment schools don't play well for wordcasting without a lot of help from the GM. Sound damage seemed to have limited ability.

I like the Int based Sorcerers, more skills.

Is anyone else doing Shenanigans (excuse me::getting creative with the 0-Level words of power as well?
Acid Burn Acid UM
Bleeding Wounds Wounding UM
Cold Snap Cold UM
Cramp Pain UM
Decipher Language UM
Echo Illusion UM
Flame Jet Fire UM
Force Block Armor UM
Lift Gravity UM
Sense Magic Detection UM
Spark Electricity UM

Cramp is all around good, drop the weapon, a chance to become prone, this just doesn't get old
Lift was kinda slow but got the job done
Flame Jet for incinerating everything in sight =diversion
I have been using Echo for a fart made the scent based creature nuts.
I guess Sense Magic might detect there is an invisible person there, but, it is a process that might not have successful rolls to get there.

I am replacing a 3rd Level wizard with a 3rd level arcanist right now. I have a 30 point buy, and trying to calculate how far I want to push up my Charisma. I have been running manual math on this all week long in the evening. It appears that I don't want less than a 12 and probably want the outcome of a 14. While I still have flexability it is not necessary depending on your plans for exploits and other things to put points into it. I am looking for all the effects that a higher Charisma is actually going to do for an arcanist. I am very deliberately plowing through all the material I can find.

So I thought a *nix poster might actually find the pearl in word casting. What do you think? I am responding to a dead in the ground for more than a year very ripe necro post. I am looking for a very much superior word casting link.
The goal is I have been gifted with 30 points on the point manipulator-- http://webpages.charter.net/tedsarah/Pathfinder/utilities/pointBuyCalc.htm
and am desirous to build an old-school style magic-user. One of those that has "Legend" written all over it.
So looking at the choices in PF of various classes, I found it desirous to have an arcanist to play and explore, and am putting away the just turned 3rd level wizard for a 3rd level arcanist of as yet undecided race and gender with the rest undecided but the world was opened up for us since we may now look farther a field than just the CRB; the PRD in its entirety is at my disposal, and possibly he may even allow a trait, and even the SRD for Paizo's supplemental works. This is like getting some really old HW and accessories that still kicks butt
So the first question about an arcanist is why tinker with spell casting.
Well always running preprogrammed spells lets you focus on Role Playing, sometimes it is good to make a GM wonder what you might dream up on a daily basis. So known spells is (∞)unlimited; the prepped spells don't go away; the spell slots are interchangeable with a flexable variable-power magic-pool that has some limits. Most everything about it can be broken rearranged in many different combinations.
So where to spend the points, why would I continue to leave Charisma behind Constitution and Dexterity and possibly make it a dump stat.
How high is a waste on Charisma for an Arcanista as opposed to a Sorcerer for the Arcanista's exploits.

Your character is illegal on several levels.

Daylight is level 3, not level 2 and thus does not fulfill the mystic theurge requirement. Peri-blooded also do not get daylight, they get pyrotechnics which means they cannot take heavenly radiance. Peri blooded also get +2 int, +2 cha, not +2 int, +2 wis.

Yes, sacred summons and summon good creature apply to arcane spells.

I'm not sure on spell specialization, they seem to indicate a class of spells, and thus rather they are arcane or divine.

So I have a similar question but a little different. I expected from the first reading of this that Emberkin or Peri-blooded Aasimar would +2 Int and +2 Cha, now where to find this in the prd is rotting my brain. I am looking to build an Arcanist that is Aasimar(Peri-blooded) and am trying to follow the rules. The GM has opened up the entire prd and any Paizo print materials. And if I can show the reference, it is reasonable.
