Current build:

Half Elf Rogue 2/Linnorm Tattooed Sorcerer 3

STR 12
DEX 16
CON 14
INT 14
WIS 12
CHA 13

AC 16 (10 + Dex + 1 Natural Armor + 2 Enchanted Silken Ceremonial Armor)

Feats:
Skill Focus (Bluff) (Elf racial feat)
Rapid Reload (Heavy Crossbow) (Level 1 feat)
Two-Weapon Fighting (Combat Trick rogue talent)
Point Blank Shot (Level 3 feat)
Varisian Tattoo (Illusion) (Tattooed Sorcerer bonus)
False Focus (Level 5 feat)

Started out going for a sniper rogue, changed my mind. Going to start by retraining the rogue levels into ranger for Aspect of the Beast. That'll give me claws, and use up pretty much all the Prestige I have. From there I intend to pick up levels in Tattooed Mystic until Blistering Bands turn out to be not as useful as I hope they are or a spectacularly bad idea like they probably are, interspersed with a few levels of Dragon Disciple.

Now, given that I'm the kind of person who will shoot himself in the foot for the sake of flavor (Bladebound Kapenia Dancer, anyone? Diminished Spellcasting AND late arcana!) and I also get unreasonably invested in things (250$ illustration of a character that's a mechanical mess just crossing into high tier play), I figured I'd look into proper gishing. Unfortunately all I can find falls into either "Take 10 levels of Eldritch Knight" or "Play a Magus".

I want to stick to the tattooed sorcerer thing and also the dragon thing. I figure I can deliver touch spells with the natural attacks as a kind of jury-rigged spellstrike.

Any tips, community? Feats I should take? Levels I should dip? Spells I should go for? Items I should buy?


Go go for something like Ranger 2 / Master of Many Styles Monk 1 / Sorcerer 9 / Dragon Disciple 8. The monk for Dragon Style and Feral Combat Training. A lot of lost caster lvls but great damage potential.

1 Ranger Power Attack
2 Ranger Aspect of the Beast (bonus)
3 Sorcerer Weapon Focus (Claws)
4 Sorcerer
5 Monk Improved Unarmed Strike (bonus), Stunning Fist (bonus), Dragon Style, Dragon Ferocity
6 Dragon Disciple
7 Dragon Disciple Feral Combat Training (Claws)
8 Dragon Disciple
9 Dragon Disciple Weapon Focus (Bite)
10 Dragon Disciple
11 Dragon Disciple Dodge
12 Dragon Disciple
13 Dragon Disciple Crane Style
14 Sorcerer
15 Sorcerer Crane Wing
16 Sorcerer
17 Sorcerer Crane Riposte
18 Sorcerer
19 Sorcerer Quicken Spell
20 Sorcerer


Alternatively you could retrain your first lvls with a Master of Many Styles Monk and follow like the way it is presented here by prototype00.
