Help With Pathfinder Sorceror

[CaptRory]

My group is switching from D&D 3.5 to Pathfinder for this game. And while a lot of the stuff I already know carries over, a lot has changed as well. This makes it hard because I'm one of the guys that helps everyone else make their characters.

The Cleric is handling his own guy I just had to help with one of the rules. I'm having a pretty easy time with my bard since I found a nice handbook that confirmed a lot of the stuff I'd originally thought.

I've come up with almost zip for Sorcerors and I'm having a hard time helping the sorceror with his character.

Now we're still making characters so there's time to change things. But he's pretty keen on using the Draconic Bloodline. We're also using 4d6 drop the lowest for attribute generation. And he just went to bed so I can't ask him what they are til morning XD

Any recommendations for feats or skills or spells? Let's assume we're restricted to core material, but if there's anything Must Have I'll be happy to talk to the DM about it.

Arcane bloodline is better.

[CaptRory]

Undoubtedly. But he's really excited about the whole dragon thing.

[Solo]

Hit him.

Try to get the APG human favored class variant allowed, it REALLY helps him with spells known.  Even better, get it allowed for any race, so human isn't the only valid option....

[CaptRory]

Wow, that is ridiculously useful Stream. Thanks for the head's up.

If hes insistent on draconic, then some energy damage focus along those lines can be useful. CLd6+CL is a fairly sizable chunk of damage for a fireball, against mobs you might actually fry something for a change.

Also in the light of the bloodline consider Tattooed Sorceror, trading away Eschew Materials(nice but really just fluff), Claws, a bonus feat(mostly meh) and Breath(which you won't be using as a sorc anyway) for a familiar, +1CL to a school(not bad even if he picks evocation, since he gets more out of them per CL to begin with), and an accelerated variant of craft scroll.

Oh and you can slap said tattoo for Personal spells like Form of the Dwagon onto your party members. If they can UMD that, they can turn into a melee focused monster.
