Do you have any suggestion about my first ever sorcerer.
It started level 15,
Should i take advance familiar,
The feat / meta-magic selected are they good,
What is the better spell for spell perfection.
I plan to use lot of Illusion as you can see.
(Necromancy, conjuration and Divination spells will works wrongly in the rules setting)
I did not select the 180 000 GP equipment yet.

Arcane When a spell level is increased by a metamagic feat, it gains +1 DC.
Arcane Familiar Nearby You gain the Alertness feat while your familiar is within arm's reach.
Combat Casting +4 to Concentration checks to cast while on the defensive.
Deliver Touch Spells Through Familiar (Su) Your familiar can deliver touch spells for you.
Empathic Link with Familiar (Su) You have an empathic link with your Arcane Familiar.
Empower metamagic rod (lesser) (3/day) Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user to apply metamagic effects to spells (but not spell like abilities) as they are cast. This does not change the spell slot of the altered spell. All the rods described here are use-activated (but casting spells in a threatened area still draws an attack of opportunity). A caster may only use one metamagic rod on any given spell, but it is permissible to combine a rod with metamagic feats possessed by the rod's wielder. In this case, only the feats possessed by the wielder adjust the spell slot of the spell being cast.
Possession of a metamagic rod does not confer the associated feat on the owner, only the ability to use the given feat a specified number of times per day. A sorcerer still must take a full-round action when using a metamagic rod, just as if using a metamagic feat he possesses (except for quicken metamagic rods, which can be used as a swift action).
The wielder can cast up to three spells per day that are empowered as though using the Empower Spell feat. Lesser metamagic rods can be used with spells of 3rd level or lower.

Selective metamagic rod (3/day) The wielder can cast up to three spells per day as though using the Selective Spell feat. For each spell, he can select up to four creatures of his choice within the area that are unaffected.
Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user to apply metamagic effects to spells as they are cast. This does not change the spell slot of the altered spell.

I am playing pathfinder since 4 or 5 years. (D&D since more than 25 years) I am DM for an IRL group and I have 3 online games as a DM.
The Fireball is a mistake, I have to change it but i still don't know for what.
I read the listed guide actually and I build my character with "A Quick Guide to Pathfinder Sorcerers" in mind.
I plan to use Shadow evocation (for blast damage) and Shadow conjuration to summon monster. We play in the Ravenloft universe, and real conjuration won't answer to us some of the time.
For the same reason, necromancy spell won't work well at all.
Ok, now I haven't gotten a sorcerer up to level 15, however I believe I could give you some insight on things to assist.
Firstly, with metamagic feats, typically you will want to take lower level metamagic feats unless you have a VERY specific goal in mind, like a giant dps fireball of sorts by using Empowered Maximized Fireball or something like that. Most of the higher things you can easily take care of with the proper metamagic rod.
This said, a very common combo that people love to do is Dazing Ball Lightning, so it may be good to pick up Dazing metamagic to be used in conjunction with Spell Perfection, although purely optional depending on if you are going more for flavor or more for being optimal in combat.
As for additional items you may want to get, with sorcerers a huge aspect is simply having the handy dandy tools when you need them on the spot. I'm a big fan of the following items.
Armored Kilt: Extremely cheap to buy, and one of the very few armors that do not increase spell failure chance.
Masterwork Mithral Buckler: Once again, one of the very few armors that do not increase spell failure chance.
Boots of Escape: You can't escape grapples for the life of you by normal means. Well this isn't normal means.
Ring of Sustenance: Being able to rest alot less time compared to other casters is ALWAYS a good thing, especially when the GM likes to have ambushes during resting times.
Robe of Arcane Heritage: Adding +4 levels to aquire future bloodline features early, or after hitting level 16, being able to multiclass since you already have your capstone as a result of this item? Yes please! This said, you may still want to go a bit more in sorcerer to aquire level 9 spells, depending on character outline plans.
Glove of Storing: "Why yes, I do in fact have a spare hand to grab whatever potion/scroll/ect. I'm going for, and then summon my favorite metamagic rod as a free action whenever I need it."
Cape of the Mountebank: Because every caster needs an escape plan, and this plan is with a stylish red cape.
Quick Runner's Shirt: May not be the most fabulous, but being able to distance yourself more from an opponent ALWAYS helps.
Decoy Ring: When you are out of true escape plans, but ensure that it diverts attention elsewhere to help ensure that you have another opportunity for an escape plan.
Spellguard Bracers: There will be the times where you need to cast defensively. This makes sure those moments are put to good use.

I intend to use shadow evocation with dazing spell and spell perfection. I remove Heighten Spell for that.
Ravenloft?
|
|
With shadow evocation, you get the following advantage.
1) Spell level higher for DC (Fireball give me a DC21 and shadow conjuration a DC26)
2) choice of the element
3) my partner are not affected (that need validation)
4) Give me much more flexibility in spell all the level 1 to 3 conjuration
For ray of exhaustion, it's already on my to remove list. It's from necromancy school, so it is to be bane. Or it would affect me.
A ring of wizardry (IV) is too expensive for the moment, but it would fit also with shadow evocation.
What do you think?

Not at all, I don't know him. It will be a on line game.
The shadow conjuration will overcome the elemental resistance, I have spell precision and piercing spell to overcome magic resistance.
My main problem will be Immunity to mind affecting spell. If it's the case, It won't work at all.. Undead are immune to mind affecting spell, but nothing about illusion - shadow. So far so good.
|
|
Most of the high level demons, some of very devils and daemoin have constant true seeing. So those will be a problem. But as long as illusion - shadow is not a mind affecting spell, the build should be fine.
Pattern: Like a figment, a pattern spell creates an image that others can see, but a pattern also affects the minds of those who see it or are caught in it. All patterns are mind-affecting spells.
Phantasm: a phantasm spell creates a mental image that usually only the caster and the subject (or subjects) of the spell can perceive. This impression is totally in the minds of the subjects. It is a personalized mental impression, all in their heads and not a fake picture or something that they actually see. Third parties viewing or studying the scene don't notice the phantasm. All phantasms are mind-affecting spells.
Shadow: A shadow spell creates something that is partially real from extradimensional energy. Such illusions can have real effects. Damage dealt by a shadow illusion is real.[\quote]

You all are very great.
AS the GM just give me the special rule for Ravenloft every summoning or banding is to be bane. They can leave the Ravenlof plan so they will turn on me. For shadow spell. This is the rules
Illusion (Shadow)
If you use shadow material to create illusions of creatures, objects, or forces, those conjurations are 20% stronger than the spell indicates. If you use them to create an illusory spell, damaging spells deal 20% more damage than listed, non-damaging effects have an extra 20% chance of working.At the end of the duration you must make a Will save against your own spells DC. If you fail, any shadow creations that have not been dispelled spontaneously transform into true shadows with total HD equal to the effective spell level. These shadows are free willed
So I will built a more classical sorcerer with int as prime characteristic. We already have a paly in the group. He will do the social things.
Thanks. I will show you the next version later.

You can drop fly you have enough ways to get around and your party should all have ways of their own by level 15.
You have glitter dust, blindness deafness and sleet storm so you don't need pyrotechnics as well. I would drop it over the other's simply because of the required fire source. You could drop blindness to if you don't have heighten the chances of something failing it's save are slim.
|
|
Blindness is great, even at level 15, especially against casters. With Persistent Spell you can also give it a decent chance of working or just force another save or suck with a quickened version.
It is great, with spell focus and the metamagics to enhance it but he has none of those metamagics. He has Dazing and Empower, neither of which apply to blindness and he has 3 other ways to blind someone.
Resist Energy for instance would be a nice choice.
|
|
1) I pick Still, persistent and quicken spell instead of improved initiative and combat casting. One feat to remove...
2) I replace Simulacrum by limited wish. I keep Grasping Hand but remove Forceful Hand.
3) I had chain of fire and chain of lighting with Dazing rod,
4) I keep form of the dragon, I really don't enough AC to allow myself to be hit anyways. I like the idea to have all rod accessing in that form.
5) I add Fickle winds and remove SM IV
6) What do you mean by Emergency force sphere at level 4.
X) I remove Monster summoning every level because of that rules
Conjuration (Invocation)
In the round a creature appears it can attempt a Will save with a -2 penalty against the spells DC. Success indicates that it escapes your control and can act freely. Generally, it will seek to return to its home dimension.
Calling: All calling spells contain an implicit pact between you and the creature that it is normally free to return once it completes its task. The Dark Powers however restrict exit from Ravenloft until it can find another way, when the called creature tries to leave and can’t, your pact with it is broken. You lose all control over it and it is likely to feel betrayed.
The creatures behavior after depends on its alignment. Evil ones may try to destroy you in retaliation.
If you attempt to call an elemental it has a 20% chance of producing a dread elemental instead.
Using a Calling spell to conjure an evil creature requires a powers check.
Summoning: Rather than pulling creatures from outside planes you summon existing ones from within the domain, thus if the creature is not found in the domain it cannot be summoned. Summoned creatures do not use the outsider template, thus summon monster I would summon a dire rat, not a fiendish dire rat. Attempts to summon an outsider like a succubus automatically fails unless there happens to be one in the domain. Elementals are automatically dread elementals.
Summoned creatures return from whence they came at the end and because they don’t cross planar borders, no pact is broken, and the creatures do not turn against the caster.
If you summon creatures under the influence of a darklord the creature still appears but the influence modifiers apply (see Enchantment).
Mists: Elementals or outsiders with the Mists descriptor are conjured from the Mists themselves and can be summoned in any domain.
Feel free to check out my Crazy Character Emporium. We have quite a few well built 15th-level sorcerers that might serve to inspire you.
If you're dealing with undead, maybe picking up Undeath to Death. To help with the demons, Banishment would help. When you hit level 16, though, I highly recommend Sunburst.
|
|
Necromancy spell are too dangerous to use in Raveloft. Very particular set of rules. Sunburst will be on my list for sure.
Necromancy
The only necromantic spells that don’t require powers checks are the strictly defensive ones, that do not create or enhance undead, and do not require the manipulation of your life force or that of another (such as deathwatch).
