I've got a player for my Rise of the Runelords campaign who wants to play an emberkin aasimar oracle of flames that ends up as a Divine Scion.
I took a look at the class, and didn't like what I saw, so I sent him this (please note that I am not allowing Evil or CN characters in this campaign):
I think you should reconsider Divine Scion. It was meant for a cleric, and works well for an inquisitor, but oracle has other problems. Your curse will only progress at half-speed, which is fine, but you won't get new revelations. You get spells per day increased and new spells known, but you don't get your bonus spells, including the cure spells. Plus, if you're taking the fire domain specialization, you've got a favored weapon problem. Your only real choice for diety is Sarenrae, who favors scimitars. You don't get proficiency in scimitars to start with, and will need to find a way to do that. Weapon Focus is kind of a waste for a blaster, too.
It's a nice prestige class; I just don't think it works for oracles, especially flames.
Can you tell me if I interpreted the rules correctly here?
