Quick caster question


Advice


Im building a multiclass toon that will be built around the Vampiric Touch Spell. Since i am multiclassing the caster level will not be as high. I know I can take a trait to increase caster level by 2. Is there anything else i could do to increase the caster level on that spell or make that spell do more damage/more heal back. Thanks


The Sanguine Sorcerer Bloodline gets +1 caster level on necromancy spells. If this is a homegame I would say that your best bet would be to see if your DM will let you use the Practiced Spellcaster from 3.5.


Spell Specialization. Intensify Spell.


Ok
Trait +2
Bloodline +1
Feat +2

anything else, i need to be on an even number :)


There's an Ioun stone that increases your caster level. Orange spindle maybe?


Orange Prism Ioun Stone. +1 caster level. 30k gp.


ouch! lol This is PFS I'm making this for, would take a while to get that but may be an option.
the spell specialization good idea but i need spell focus as prereq and unfortunately i don't care about the DC of any of my spells. i'm using touch attacks for everything with weapon finesse and extremely high dex. dont know if its worth 2 feats for the extra 1d6 damage and temp hit point

and no trait would stack would it? there a few traits that make work but cant tell which will stack and what wont


Would heighten spell help me any?


Heighten doesn't increase your caster level.

Focusing a character on Vampiric touch is a bad idea, I think. The damage is very low compared to even level 1 spells like shocking grasp and the temporary HP are nice but since they are lost after some time, not all that useful. You might get hurt before you have a chance to vampiric touch someone or you might kill a foe with the touch and not get into another fight for an hour. If anything, I'd put it into a spell storing weapon to get a quick health boose when I need it.

Well hes not full Vamp Touch. He really is a touch attacker but i'd like the Vamp Touch to be buffed up a bit. I will only use it if i'm Low on health etc. Mostly I will use high touch attacks along with sneak attack die. Thanks for help Everyone!


Are there guilds in PFS? If there are then join a spell casters guild to get +1 caster level easily, and +3 caster levels with some work. See Magic of the Inner Seas sourcebook.


I don't believe so Melvin
