Thread topic. Assume you have to be a Human, with no alternate racial traits, and on 20 point buy, with 2 traits. Wayang Spellhunter and Magical Lineage are banned.
PS: Expect more thread like this from me on the upcoming weeks <3
C'mon, fellas! Put 'em up!

Max INT, learn every spell you can. Is there really that much to "build" for a class with access to the wizard spell-list? The nice thing about full-casters is that you don't need to put in to much work too build an effective character. As long as you're not trying to swing a sword with 1/2 BAB, that is.
The "build" for me at least is picking a spell with those 2 traits he banned. At least then you have your cool thing you do and don't turn into a generic blob.
What's wrong with a Brown-Fur Transmuter ooze shaper build??

Some of my personal builds:
Alleunti Dilesi, 6th-level elf demonologist
Bumiahma Britoris Orpheus, 12th-level human master enchanter
Sandalphon, 14th-level human arcane fiend slayer
She'er Falen, 15th-level ifrit fire mage
More characters can be found in my Crazy Character Gallery.
As for basics: You should ALWAYS take dimensional slide, potent magic, and quick study as your first class ability selections. These three together along with your other spells and abilities are what puts you above even a wizard in terms of potency, survivability, and versatility.
That summoning thingy archetype/talent. Can't remember which it was but it's good.
Wayang Spellhunter+Magical Lineage: Summon Monster III.
SF: Conjuration, Augment Summoning, Superior Summoning, Empower Spell.
Use SMIII to summon (1d3+1)*1.5, E.g. 3, 4 or 6 elementals/other things you want from the SMII list. Obviously optimized for level 5-7, but functional at other levels too.
If you cut empower spell and the metamagic reducers, it's a little less good, but still very good.

I really like the She'er Falen build. Very well done.

I disagree that you should always take them.
The Potent Magic and Dimensional Slide are very useful. I'm less enamoured with Quick Study, just pick your spells correctly and you could get a different exploit.
I will say that if you think the game will allow you to get to 10th level, you should always take MetaMagic Knowledge. That will qualify you for Greater MetaMagic Knowledge.

Only fools pass on Quick Study.
The ability to cast like a sorcerer, but always be prepared for everything like a wizard? And not just any wizard, but Schodinger's wizard!
That's so broken it's priceless.

20 pt buy PFS build
Aasimar if you can, dual talent Human also works, I like Wayang as well, but you take a Charisma hit
S 7 D 12 C 14 I 18 W 12 Ch 16
Occultist Archetype
Feats Sp Focus Conj, Augment Summoning, Extra Reservoir, Improved Familiar
Grab Familiar, Quick Study, and your choice
Use Consume spells plus Extra Reservoir to funnel arcane point to fuel summon monster. Get a Int belt and Charisma Ioun Stone. By level 7, your reserve should be 9 base plus the ability to funnel your 3rd level spells to get extra summons as desired. You can funnel all your thirds at level 7 to get an extra 12 arcane pool points, summoning up to 5 Summon Monster IV per day.
Not as good as the previous Occultist but still viable.
Wayang take a Wisdom hit btw.
