Spherwalker and Sphere Singer

[Kushala]

Hey guys, Ive been looking through the prestige classes lately and these two caught my eye. Was just hoping to get some advice or suggested builds for going into either of these classes.

The campaign I'll be playing in will be starting at around level 4-5 I believe so shouldn't be too far off being able to get into them for the campaign.

Spherewalker would be best based off a cleric of Desna IMO. You'd probably go as far as cleric 8 before entering the PrC in order to get your level 8 domain powers. It wouldn't be hugely different from a normal cleric but you'd have some interesting abilities and less channeling.

Sphere singer wants you to have bardic performance, but it doesn't advance the bonus of any performances you have. You probably don't want to enter as a normal bard and lose that advancement; a full spellcaster who's willing to spend feats on prestigious spellcaster might like the PrC better. An evangelist cleric or an ocean's echo oracle are full casters who have bardic performance. Alternately there are some bards who have odd performances which don't advance much. A first world minstrel, dwarven scholar or maybe a flamesinger bard could be useful entries to this PrC.

Archaeologist bard loves the sphere singer. You do lose progression, but you get WAY more time with your luck up.

Also a VMC bard can really enjoy sphere singer as well as progression in their song is by character level not class level.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, currently deciding between cleric, ocean echo or flamesinger. I want to make use of Desna's DFT so probably gonna be oracle or flamesinnger, though that does mean one more feat I need to take.
