I'm playing in a currently low level campaign as a Wizard + Cleric Mystic Theurge with early entry. I have full caster level for both classes and the DM has generously allowed me to use the same casting stat for both classes (he says, as a cleric of Nethys, it would make enough sense to use intelligence instead of wisdom).

My question is, what school of magic should I specialize in and get spell focus and greater spell focus to increase spell DC's? I was considering evocation for dazing spell and general metamagic control, but I don't know if it will be useful on the cleric side of casting too. We have a witch and someone who can intimidate to lower saving throws.

What school of magic would be useful having really high spell DC's on both the Wizard and Cleric list? Enchantment? Evocation? I'm really at a loss here. What would you pick?

I have an amusing idea for a character I'd like to flesh out a bit, and would love to hear anyone's thoughts. Tick, the amazing(ly small and annoying) kobold has a short attention span, a giant ego, and dreams of becoming a real dragon.

His quest, no matter what campaign he is in, is to eventually gain enough wealth and status to convince a powerful wizard or sorcerer to cast Polymorph any object on him, to permanently turn him into the dragon he longs to be. (Clearly, as thanks, he will eat the wizard last) I would like to play the character as a comical idiot of sorts, lacking either Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. (more likely the former two?)

(As far as the spell, the DM agrees, the spell would likely be permanent)
+5 from the same kingdom
+2 from the same class
Possible +2 from same size, if enlarge person is cast first and its only a medium sized dragon
+2 Kobolds have a history of being related to dragons
+2 Same intelligence (wouldn't change)

My question is what sort of class would work well for this? I plan on the actual quest to become a dragon to be 99% of my time spent with this character, and I don't plan on playing a campaign actually as a dragon. But, I'd like it to make sense that Tick has planned his life around becoming all powerful as a dragon, and has likely honed his skills to become the most powerfully awesome dragon possible!

So yeah, what class or build would you think works well as a kobold and plays to the strengths of a dragon after becoming one? Also, are there any particular kinds of dragons that you might recommend as rather neat for this idea? (I'm only just now reading up on dragons in pathfinder, but there seem to be a lot of different kinds)

Everything I've read on the internet has pretty much said Mystic Theurge is an underpowered class that struggles at lower levels. Recently I rolled a character with really interesting stats (18 Intelligence, 18 Wisdom, and 18 Dexterity, but low stats for everything else). The group will have a witch and possibly a bard, but the rest of the group are melee. I'd really like to fill in a lot of the utility spellcasting since we have no divine caster or full arcane caster-- plus I'd really like to take advantage of playing a unique character that most stat rolls wouldn't be able to do well.

So how can I make this work well? The DM has said I can take Practiced Spellcaster feat to makeup for spellcaster level, but I'm still going to only have level 2 spells up until after I'm into Mystic Theurge.

So here are my main questions:
Should I go Cleric-Wizard or Druid-Wizard? Which has a better spell list, and which would have decent features when I only have 3 levels in the class?

Also, what archtypes or alternate class features would help this sort of character? I have 11 charisma, so cleric channeling wouldn't do much for me. What about wizard spell schools, or cleric domains?

Okay, so here's what has happened. Its my first time playing pathfinder, and last week we met with the DM and rolled for stats for the upcoming campaign, and then hung out and played board games. Except I rolled a ridiculous 18 in Dexterity, Intelligence, and Wisdom. My other stats are 14 Strength, 10 Constitution, and 11 Charisma. I can't switch what I rolled for one stat to another, but I still have to pick a race and class.

The group has a ninja, psychic warrior, witch, bard, monk, and an NPC fighter (played by the DM). Also, its an evil or at least morally dubious campaign.

I'd like to help round out the group and fill a role the group needs, but I'm not sure what class might benefit with very high Dex, Int, and Wis. What would you guys play as with this roll?
