help choose bloodline


Advice


I'm building a concept sorcerer at level 11.

The main focus for him is offensive touchspells, but I can't decide on what bloodline to choose...


Must it be a Sorcerer at all? A "bad touch" Oracle would have better defences.

Oracle would be better with defense, but if you like sorcerers more, may I suggest Dragon Disciple? The Natural Armor bonus helps for when you actually go into melee with touch spells, and the claws help you with threatening spaces so you can make AoOs, plus you get wings, breath weapon, blindsense and most importantly for a d6 caster, d12 HD. BAB is helped some too, so you can hit more often.


For save or suck Arcane is the way to go,

For elemental damage crossblooded Orc/Dragon of your choice

For enchantment/compulsion specialist either Fey or Infernal.

The rest are barely worth ever considering.


For touch spells, Aberration is great, but it is probably better to just grab it with Eldritch Heritage, since it's only the 9th level power that matters.

If you want to go with touch attacks from a distance, learn spectral hand and take celestial bloodline so you can heal a bit from it if the hand gets destroyed or just so you can be an arcane healer, but make sure you are good-aligned before to take this option. This is a tad better if you take it from eldritch heritage though, like aberration.
