Please help with Wizard / Sorcerer Question

[Marediv]

Not sure if this has been addressed before could not find it if it has. Is there a Archetype of Prestige class that focuses on the arcane caster using his/her staff for spells and such. I am planing on making a character kinda like Skeletor form the old he-man (but as a hero.) Any help would be appreciated.

I think there is a Magus class that might help.
Staff Magus

There is no sorcerer or wizard class that I know of though.

What you can do is take a staff as your bonded item. That will allow you make it into a magical staff without having to take the item creation feat to do so.

Whether you should go Magus or Wiz/Sorc depends on how much you want to cast spells vs how much you want to be in melee.

Also note that if you go with a staff as your bonded item, and you do not have the staff in hand, you need to make a Concentration check to cast spells. So in a lot of ways, you are therefore using your staff to cast your spells.
