I'm new to Pathfinder (and casting classes in general, I've played 3.5), and would like some help with making an Ifrit sorcerer. The books I am limited to are the Core handbook, Advanced Players Guide, and Advanced Race Guide, although my DM said she would allow me to take the Efreeti Bloodline from Ultimate Magic.
I'm thinking about whether I should take the Elemental Fire bloodline or the Efreeti bloodline, and what racial features I should choose to augment my character effectively.
This character is going to be in a party with a Sylph Rogue, Undine Witch, Oread Monk, and a Drow Summoner, and I wanted him to fit in with the party's "theme" without losing any effectiveness.
The witnessed stats I rolled (4d6 drop lowest reroll ones) were 16/16/16/16/16/18 before racial mods. Also, we're starting out at level 1, but I'd like suggestions for a few levels past that.
I'd really appreciate help with this, because I'm not only readjusting to a new system with differences, but also to a new playstyle.
