Advice on wishcrafter builds

[williamoak]

I recently noticed the wishcrafter archetype, and I found it was an interesting (if bizarre) archetype. I'm looking for some tips since I'm not familiar with sorcerers, and the wishcrafter is a particularly bizarre one.

Since the wish crafter depends on other's requesting wishes, I'm thinking a support role could do well in this context, but I'm not sure which spells would be best. The obvious ones:

-Haste (everyone likes haste)
-Wish/Limited wish

What else? I imagine it can depend on the party; parties with lots of dex-users can use cat's grace, strength ones enlarge person/bull's strength. But beyond that, I'm really unsure.

I'm also looking for an alternative to leadership, since not all DMs allow it. I dont like using it cheesily (IE item crafters), but I want an alternative just in case.

Buff spells that everyone likes to have:
0th - Mending (have them wish to mend one of your items if you also need it)
1st - Protection from Evil
2nd - Blur (it also grants immunity to sneak attacks)
3rd - Haste
4th - Greater Invisibility
5th - Polymorph
6th - Greater Heroism
7th - Greater Polymorph (Limited Wish has an expensive component, I wouldn't take it)
8th - Polymorph Any Object (also very nasty to use on enemies with heart's desire and twisted wish)

[williamoak]

Ok, wish is considerably less interestng than I originally thought. I thought there where some effects (like casting lower-level spells) that didnt have that horrible material cost.

Edit: That's miracle damnit. This is really dissapointing.

[Pupsocket]

"Burn that guy!" is also a wish.

[williamoak]

Oh, I know that very well, I was just hoping the wish spells would give me more flexibility. Which is not the case. Might be worth taking the efreeti bloodline, if only to get the ability to use limited wish as a spell-like 1/day (would that still have a material cost?).

[Ipslore the Red]

I suggest using the various shadow conjuration spells for wishbound arcana. And SLAs have no material cost.

[Sideshow3D]

Wish as a SLA has no material cost, but the Efreeti Bloodline does have a disclaimed line. "If you use this ability to duplicate a spell with a costly material component, you must provide that component."

[Nosdarb]

I second shadow conjuration. Also, you may find creating illusions to be useful. Check with your GM to see if he'll allow you to cast an illusion to attempt to grant a wished for effect.

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

Ifrits get a bonus to charisma, and treat their charisma as 2 higher when using the elemental (fire) bloodline. (It would make sense for this to apply to the Efreeti bloodline as well, and if you can get your GM to houserule that it does, clearly you should use that one.)
