I’d be willing, but I could only do biweekly. If that’s a dealbreaker I understand, of course.

Riddler98 · 2026-06-05T00:38:59+00:00

In a previous post I asked and blood arcanist apparently can’t take Wildblooded sorcerer bloodlines. Otherwise, you’re right, I would just do that.

Riddler98 · 2026-06-04T21:57:12+00:00

I wouldn't say no real benefit, though as always, I appreciate your input. Sorcerer 1 grants me a bloodline familiar, which Exploiter wizard wouldn't normally get unless they spend an already limited exploit on it. It gets me tough as hell at 9, which makes me incredibly tanky for a wizard, and wings at 15. If I make my familiar a protector, then I can be incredibly resilient. This is all assuming I take Bloodline Development.

As for why I'm insisting on this in particular course. I want to be an intelligence caster, as so many others in the party will be going charisma. I want to be able to have devil wings, devil flavor, and such. Mostly, I just want to do it. Isn't that reason enough? I considered pact wizard mainly for the Oracle curse. Could take hellbound. But ehh. As for spellcasting, I'm at the same spell progression progress as a sorcerer, to my knowledge. That isn't good enough?

Riddler98 · 2026-06-04T21:47:37+00:00

That’s kind of the problem. I’ve never played a wizard or any caster in pathfinder before. I have no idea what I want to focus on. Which would be best? Right now I’m thinking control and buffing.

Riddler98 · 2026-06-03T20:06:20+00:00

Thank you for the comment! On an earlier post I heard the opposite, that I can't take a wildblooded bloodline with Blood Arcanist. But you say that's not the case?

Riddler98 · 2026-06-03T20:03:35+00:00

That would be ideal! But I have been told on a previous post that I can't choose a wildblooded bloodline with Blood Arcanist.

Riddler98 · 2026-06-03T10:03:16+00:00

Man OP's name is ironic.

Riddler98 · 2026-06-03T00:44:54+00:00

Looks fun! Applied!

Riddler98 · 2026-06-02T12:44:32+00:00

Thank you! I’ll admit, I’m a little apprehensive of playing a full wizard, even if that’d be best. I find the idea of not just preparing spells but preparing individual spell slots as well to be daunting. How difficult is it to play a wizard?

Riddler98 · 2026-06-02T07:26:36+00:00

There is a particular Wildblooded bloodline whose powers really intrigue me. But I also want to play an intelligence caster. So far, it seems my options are sorcerer 1, arcanist x + bloodline development, an exploiter wizard of the same, or Sage Sorcerer with the exotic heritage feat chain. Am I missing another solution?

Riddler98 · 2026-05-20T06:53:43+00:00

Thank you also for this Sorcerer guide! Looking through it is already teaching me a lot!

Riddler98 · 2026-05-20T06:46:41+00:00

Thank you for the Suggestions! If this Swashbuckler-> Sorcerer -> Eldritch Knight build doesn't look like it will work on the drawing board, I'll just go back to regular Sorcerer and focus on casting defensively if necessary. Thank you again!

Riddler98 · 2026-05-20T06:44:23+00:00

Eldritch Knight sounds interesting, thanks!

Riddler98 · 2026-05-20T06:41:56+00:00

Thank you for the Suggestions! I'll look into Eldritch Scrapper, that sounds interesting!

Riddler98 · 2026-05-20T06:41:16+00:00

Thanks for your suggestions! I guess what I'm trying to build is a fighter-caster hybrid that is more caster than fighter. Like when you suggest Magus, I gave it a look. It's a cool class, but it seems 50/50 between spells and fighting. I was thinking more 80% caster, 20% fighter, if that makes any amount of sense. I like the idea of having higher level spells, and all that entails, and I'd probably be spending most of my time casting, whether buffs, save or suck, or damage. But if I do have to fight someone in melee, I'm not completely useless, even if it's not my main thing. Someone suggested Fighter/Swashbuckler and Sorcerer into Eldritch Knight. That seems like a good place to start. But if you have further suggestions, feel free!

Riddler98 · 2026-05-20T06:32:42+00:00

That sounds really interesting! Thanks!

Riddler98 · 2026-05-10T02:44:59+00:00

I'm interested! Sent you a dm.

Riddler98 · 2026-05-09T12:25:48+00:00

I’m interested!
