First off, the
prevalent information.
Long explanation short, a character that's got access to 2nd level spell-like abilities can access the
MT PrC much faster than most other races. A whole three levels in fact. That may not seem like a big deal, but in terms for PFS play, in which I'm designing a character for, it is.
I was thinking of going with a
tiefling for a race with possibly taking different racial subtypes to customize my stats towards the build's strength. I know it's not the best choice of race for a MT stat wise, but I do like the thought of a character dabbling in more things that he really should. If I can finagle it, I'm aiming to link both caster classes together under one casting stat. Oracle|Sorcerer comes straight to mind, running both caster stats of Charisma.
A couple issues with that, the first one being Charisma. It's not very useful as a stat save for social interactions, something I'm not particularly looking to focus in. Next up, Oracle curses. Running under the assumption that these won't improve because I'm not actually taking oracle levels (maybe?), it'll be a real drawback depending on choice. Personally, I'm favoring Legalistic in that regard. Lastly, I'm completely a spontaneous caster which does cost me in terms of flexibility. Of course, the spells I do take I'll have alot of casts for.
Another option for being SAD, Sorcerer|Cleric. I can go with
Empyreal and cast sorcerer spells off of Wisdom instead of Charisma, which is awesome. That being said, it strikes me as a little odd to be celestial focused if I'm a distant offspring from the pits of hell.
It'd work great with an aasimar though! Anyway, having cleric would give me a measure of flexibility and some channeling power (which I don't think will continue to progress) in addition to having solid will saves.
Unfortunately, I can't think of any other possible combinations off the top of my head that are SAD. More traditional combos, like the Wizard|Cleric run off of both Intelligence and Wisdom. That's a full preparation caster, however, so it offers grips of versatility, which kinda makes up for having to focus in two casting stats. Wizard|Oracle also fits here, but doesn't have the flexibility of the iconic paring.
So while my head is swimming with possible combinations between the four classes, as well as which bloodlines, mysteries, school specializations, domains, and archtypes, I throw it out to the web for some ideas. Which combinations would you take and why?
