OK I have an upcoming game using the pathfinder system. I also have an old concept I want to try and play. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or build ideas to help.
The concept is a "wizard" who is also good at wrecking people at close range. A combination of touch spells and feats to make him dangerous even when he finally gets closed with.
Mobility and magical ranged/AOE attacks by all means still acceptable, I just want him to be rather surprisingly good in close. Weither this can best be accomplished by his selection of spells, dipping classes or any prestige like classes is up to debate. I doubt I will be able to depend upon equipment from what I've heard of the game so far though.
In 3.5 this character might have been a monk/wizard/enlightened fist style of character, or even just a sorcerer or warlock with improved unarmed and some dirty tricks, but I'm not sure how well the pathfinder system can best make this concept happen.
Anybody have any ideas or class/build suggestions?
