Kitsune sorcerer build advice.

Current working thoughts:

Sorcerer class, Crossblooded archetype.
Bloodlines: Psychic, Draconic(fire)

Level 7, Take the Fox Shape feat, since psychic casters can still cast while polymorphed, and there are several advantages to being smaller when a caster.

Focus mostly on fire spells, though keep tools to punch through things that are resistant to fire, just in case.

His name shall be "mozilla".

Aside from the obvious joke, i really do want some kind of psychic kitsune, and especially interested in having that kitsune be in fox shape 90% of the time. What other ideas can you guys think of? I really like the idea of playing firefox, but there might be more out there.


Update: I want to work some way to make Mozilla have high skill ranks in all knowledge skills. I'm unsure how to hash that in with a sorcerer.

After all, what good is a browser without a good search engine?

Sorry, late advice, mostly don't offer advice as I'm fresh myself. Not too confident on what's good in practice, so this is just theory-crafting, but it's something.

At some point you need to take realistic likeness. For a it's really strong for a feat that doesn't require any prerequisites. You can take the [url]http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/magic-traits/possessedpossessed[/url] trait to invoke the inner "search engine" within you to find knowledge you didn't know you had.

@ first bonus feat you can grab quicken magic to quickly hit an opponent twice as a blaster. Pick your spells carefully because you lose one spell to your known spell list at every level. Sorcerers already lack a bit of utility, so make sure you're giving it up appropriately.

I would pick Elemental (fire) over draconic (fire) personally. The ability to transform any energy-dealing spell into fire damage is EXTREMELY powerful, and would allow you to pick up some evocations as standard spells known and still deal fire damage with them. (Snowball as fire damage is particularly hilarious).

You're going to want a good Cha, decent Dex and Con, and it sounds like a good Int in order to have your "browser" utility. With that said, it might be easier to take divination spells instead of Knowledge skills, as casting an spell that answers questions for you makes a bit more sense then actually knowing stuff yourself. (Plus if you're in Fox Shape often, you can't speak to convey said information with your allies anyway.)

Also, be sure to pick up a good number of the psychic bloodline's undercastable spells. The psychic bloodline arcane let's you upgrade them to the highest-possible spell level for free as you level up, which is REALLY handy. (Especially for mindthrust.)
