The dm is very lenient as long as the mechanics have flavor
Tattoo sorcerer
Probably female
Open to race changes, but will probably do a custom race which is mechanically human minus the bonus feat. I'll have wings and a fly speed instead.
30pt buy
Currently 4 regular levels with one mythic level.
I'd like something that's both mechanically cool, but also has a cool factor.
Flavor wise the tattoos are techno magic. They look like circuitboards on my skin.
I'm not great at building blasters and could use some advice. Thank you.
sends in John... the bard.
Draconic is a good bloodline for Blasters, as you can get +1 to each die rolled for your preferred damage type (they also have cool wings, unless you were thinking more angel type). You can't do primal and Tattooed Sorcerer either, so that's out. As far as blasting goes, you want to stick with probably either Fire or Cold. Fire has more spells and Cold has Rime Spell, which is a really good option. Cold works better with the wild-blooded Rime-Blooded bloodline, but that isn't an option for the tattooed sorcerer either. When you take Elemental Spell, it will change your damage type, but not the type of the spell, so changing the type of damage won't hurt you as far as damage goes at higher levels.
The bonus feat at first level is really cool, but so is flight, so I can't really fault you for that. Spell Specialization can get you higher levels to begin with, but you won't get that until level 3, or 5.
The cold damage rime thing is kinda cool.
I have concerns about sorcerers using meta magic since it adds so much time to casting. Any advice on that?
Yeah, blasters tend to come in two flavors. Those who focus on absolute maximum damage, and those who focus on damage + debuffing/battlefield control. Dazing and Rime are the second choice.

Well usually that means taking a full round action rather than a standard action. It's not the one-turn wait that summoning spells are. You have to keep it in mind, and I wouldn't advise it if you know a monster is coming for your character, but it's certainly workable.
wait is this like some kind of thomas jane hung thing where your tattooed sorcerer is like out of work and needs the money or what
because I do not have a lot of experience in pimping
I have also heard that it aint easy
One of the best ways to do metamagic is to simply buy rods. It makes it a bit easier, and doesn't require as many feats. Sure, it's a move action to draw one, but if you are ready, it is a bit more efficient.

If your wanting to go cold spells theres the Boreal Bloodline thats decent, or White/Silver Draconic and take the Irrisen Ice Mage feat..
Pick a decent spell to stack magical lineage with and go spell perfection with it.. Rime Spell feat is obvious, as is spell focus/greater, spell pen/greater.. Now if u really wanted to get min/max take 1 level or crossblooded white or silver dragon/orc bloodlines, along with tattooed and the rest of ur level go admixture wizard for a truely scary amt of damage.. 20th level build with 30 points:
Variant Human Sorcerer 1 CrossBlooded(Silver Dragon/Orc), Tattooed/Wizard 19 Admixture Spec.

The feats could be switched ard if u wanted..
Your Cone of Cold base would be intensified and rimed meta and would hit for 20d6+49 damage, with a DC of 36
For 2 7th level slots you coould in 1 round do a Quickend, Empower, Intensified, Rimed Cone of Cold for 20d6+49x1.5 and then an Empowered, Intense, Rimed CoC for 20d6+49x1.5 lol.. You have to abilitiy to switch your spells to cold threw admixture talent to gain the bonuses as well.. Iceball for 15d6+39 for a 4th level slot for example.. You can also switch ur cold spells to somthing else should things can cold immuneity etc...
Werepox, that's kind of awesome and May just do that.
These kinds of builds are awesome at level 15, but...
1. I wouldn't want to wait that long
2. I'd have to LIVE that long
3. A lot of campaigns tend to end before or around this level (though WerePox47's group could be different).
Its deff on the extreme end and like u said the camp might not make it 20, but ur spell progression is as a sorc threwout ur career and with stay competitive till u get to cone of cold.. At 5th level burnig hands for 5d4+12.. at 6th switch spell spec to fireball for admixture iceball of 8d6+19.. At 8th Iceball for 10d6+25.. etc etc.. It might be better to wait on craft wonderous and get rime spell in earlier for cc.. Maybe swap it in at 5th and spell spec 6th.. Irrisen Ice Mage feat is another one that could be fit in to bump ur caster level early..
This is Tiny Coffee Golem.
This is the character in question. She's not optimal, but she is cool.
I like where u went with her and i think ull be surprised by her output in a few levels.. I would only add 1 thing, going crossblooded gets u an additional +1dam/dice at a loss of 2 will and a 1st level known sorc spell.. i think the trade off is worth it, esp at higher levels.. If your not into orc bllodline, than perhaps ur dm would allow wildblooded primal water elemental.. Some say it doesnt work with crossblooded, but i dont see a prob with it personally..
