....and character sheet for Ariatos is ready. Traits picked.

I've played a couple sorcerers in a tabletop pathfinder game, they're a blast.

Well from what I see we have solid close range fighters, so I was thinking more of a support sorcerer who distracts/disables opponents to make it easier for the close-range fighters so I went with Dreamspun for that and I was thinking she was sort of a wandering fortune teller/dream reader.

So I'm looking at support with one or two small weapons/spells for self defense if anything gets too close.

[Khalil]

Well there is a lot of ways to support the front line fighters so you definitely have more options there. Now for going the fortune teller/dream reader, that definitely is the way to go. Destined would be the closest second with the wildblooded karmic archetype. Now all you need to do is go through the spells and decide which are best going to fit your character... At low level you have to remember, that you generally want something to defend yourself with or help bring up your defense.

Your orisons don't matter as much as you can cast them over and over again, and by a certain level you can have up to 9 memorized. Obviously the most useful ones are detect magic, read magic, and the rest are really up to what your flavor likes the most.

1st level spells... I always take magic missile, it mostly always hits and it gets stronger as you level up. Also as you level you can use meta magic feats to make it even stronger.

On that note. There is one meta magic feat you can't use (though there is an exception just can't remember which), which is quicken spell. Meta magic makes your spells stronger but makes them take longer to cast (none seriously long). So a quickened spell nulls itself out.

Posting will be delayed till Friday night sometime. I have work then laundry and then fine dining with Nicole

[Khalil]

oooo... Fine dinning... Drama and Nicole, sitting on a tree K. I. S..... no? Too childish? Bah!

JK. Have a hell of a time!

[Spazztick]

I'm going to try and be supportive defensive/healer, being able to touch my friends... in a non-ackward way and boost their prowess. xD

Didn't get a chance to finish my character last night. Basics was thinking of trying swashbuckler

[stobco]

I'll get mine done by the end of the day. Been really busy but I'll squeeze it in.

Got Ihsek's story up, trying to decide how to spend this last 1000 gold and I'm good to go, I think.

ETA: Do bracers of armor count towards spell penalty?

[Storm]

Sorry I didn't even see this till a couple days later. My apologies Rainbow.

[Khalil]

I believe that is a no on the bracers since they are magical. However I don't believe mage armor stacks with it.

The book isn't officially out yet. Still considered a playtest.

Hah nice! I was wondering. Looks pretty cool.
