Thank you!

How do spellslots / total spells per day work with a mystic theurge? Reading the description it sounds like both classes advance ...

Cleric / Sorc Slots

LVL 0 : 4 / 9
LVL 1 : 4 / 4
LVL 2 : 3 / 2
LVL 3 : 2 / 1

... each class has a different number of available spells per day based on the level of the spell. How is this reconciled in the mystic theurge prestige class? Can I cast 1 (lvl 3) fireball from the sorc list and then 2 (lvl 3) dispell magic from the cleric list? or do they have to be merged into a single list in some way? I understand if I want to transfer one spell from a list to another it's at +1 level (fireball as a cleric would take up a level 4 slot) ...

Finally, I'm unclear on spontaneous conversion of spells. Does the mystic theurge give up the ability to spontaneously convert prepared divine spells into cures via the cleric spontaneous casting ability?

Thanks.

Ultimately ... my question is .. having never played an oracle can I get by as primary healer and _not_ taking the healing mysteries?

I'm in a small party that does not have an arcane caster (derp?). Rather than fit a square peg in a round hole I went for healer/controller role with _some_ evocation for when we're in a pinch.

I try to keep the feats the character has inline with the backstory/quest... so there is purpose in the selections and you can read the condensed version in the journal in the stat block.

Any input is welcome.

Thank you.

Made deal with a devil (legalistic curse) to provide souls to the underworld (via imp) in order to be saved from a fire (blackened curse). As long as the imp feeds souls the underworld provides (divine) protection.

Character's goal is to delve into the depths of hell and slay the devil to break the curse. While on the quest the character becomes that which he wishes to destroy (dark tapestry mystery).

Can rogues use sneak attack with whip via flank since it's technically a melee attack?

Working on a rogue whip build. I'd be remiss to say if I wasn't thinking about Indiana Jones when tinkering in Hero Lab.

1) Whip Mastery to threaten up to 10'
2) Improved Trip to leverage the trip feature of weapon + high AoO of rogue
3) Sneak attack (via flank) up to 10' (seems cheesy ..)

I had to dip into Magus to get the exotic weapon proficiency and weapon focus. The icing on the cake is access to arcane spells and arcane focus (+1 weapon enhancement 2x day).

I know it's late but I found this via a google search and plan to use

I've removed some links. Please don't redistribute Paizo's art unless its available under the Community Use Policy.

Argh.

.... can anyone provide a link to the work without the art? It seems strange the fun police would show up and take down a link that promotes use of the very thing it's trying to sell.

Thanks.

It doesn't do much for the domains you listed but take a look at the Luck domain ...

Good Fortune (Ex): At 6th level, as an immediate action, you can reroll any one d20 roll you have just made before the results of the roll are revealed. You must take the result of the reroll, even if it's worse than the original roll. You can use this ability once per day at 6th level, and one additional time per day for every six cleric levels beyond 6th.

... this is extremely nice when you, or anyone in your party, fail a really important save.
