Hail!
Greetings citizens, it is your humble all-powerful ruler!
Good news! I shall be joining Pathfinder Society. Please, wipe those tears of joy aside for I have need of your collective powers of thought, reasoning and awesome.

What?

Fine, ok, here is your free beer:
Background
I am new to PFS but with the help of some fine citizens (SirG, Mr B, Peebo, Mr Seeker, AllDms, Ithuriel - thank you!) I have been slowly getting my all-powerful head around.. things.
The Problem
I wish to play a bloatmage character based on this happy chappy.
(Bloatmage Prc Apparently it's been legal to play for nearly 2 weeks now.)
For those that haven't read Dune or seen the movie (Please leave your Citizen Identification Numbers with Reception on your way out...) the image is of Baron Vladamir Harkonnen.
So yes, a corpulent caster. Ideally flying.
State of Play
So fat.. far.. I have figured out:
-- 5th level Wizard or 5th level Witch would allow earliest entry into the Bloatmage PrC. This would allow for 7 levels of Bloatmage.
-- A Bloatmage Witch could take Spell Focus, Improved Spell Focus, Bloatmage Initiate and then use Cackle and Evil Eye to really make spells stick/increase the chance the target fails their save.
-- Witches can also get flight at 5th level. This would allow Baron V Bloatmage to fly 5 times for 1 minute/time.
-- A Bloatmage Dwarf would have a movement value of 10 for most his career before finally having movement rate 5 at 12th level.
-- A Bloatmage Human would have the extra feat, skill points and a bigger belly. They'd also have a move of 20 for most of their career, dropping to 10 at 12th.
-- A conjuration specialist/Teleportation sub-school wizard could, at 5th level, use their Shift ability to teleport 10ft 7-8 times a day. This could be intersting.
-- A sorcerer bloatmage would be interesting but could only reach 6th level of the Bloatmage PrC. This might be enough depending on what you can think of regarding their role. Also, by stopping at 6th the Bloatmage retains some movement.
-- The character will have high con, low dex - possibly 8 dex - purefly for flavour.
::
So far I'm leaning towards a witch Bloatmage - the idea of a cackling floating bloater is very appealing.
Any ideas? Thoughts?
I'm looking for interesting combinations that revolve around the Bloatmage PrC in general and your thoughts and ideas regarding possible builds in specific.
Thank you for your time.
