So as life goes, my current character, a swift hunter (Currently level 5 and about to his the swift hunter feat and become effective) is making a fair few enemy's around town and slowly running out of allies.
All the other players are onto their second or third characters, and its not due to bad GMing, we make some really stupid decisions. Currently my CG scout 3/ranger 2 Viridian Lord (We are playing Ptolus, and I have the plant growing on me feat) has insulted a high priest, is working for a pair of LN redeemed Blackguard and fallen Paladin, an epic level level Vampire, and has insulted another high lord.
So I'm expecting another maybe half dozen sessions before he ends up killed by someone, and thus onto creating my next character.
This is where you folks come in. I don't tend to play casters much, but our party is somewhat lacking in the fields of arcane (We have a blaster Psion... Not quite a match) and non-summoning divine (The party druid relys on summoning and his flesh raker companion to deal with stuff, occasionally prepares some healing).
Anyhow, my DM has allowed the Illumian Krau trick to get early into Mystic Theurge, and so I'm going Sorcerer 1/Shugenja 2/MT X where X currently equals 3. A pure charisma based character spontaneous caster (Less paper work I figure...), as our parties highest charisma is 10 and best social skill is intimidation with a +3... Need partial face character, and Shugenja look interesting, never seen one built or played before.
Rambling on again, I'm looking for recommendations on what spells to take. Am currently thinking Fire for the Shugenja with Order of Ineffable Mystery providing standard blaster caster, while Sorcerer gives a bit of the utility.
Edit: Oh, and are there any useful alternate class features I could grab by that point?, give me a martial character and would have no problem designing, casters... Not so much.
