I am looking for a prestige class for a sorcerer. And the sorcerer will have the acf metamagic specialist and have the feats metamagic school focus (Conjuration), spell focus (Conjuration), still spell, silent spell, and extend spell. What I need is maybe other good feats and a prestige class to go with this build. :smallbiggrin:

Sandshaper is great, Rainbow Servant not so much. A Sorcerer still has to spend spells known in order to learn the Cleric spells that class opens up.

You are Iron Will (aka a trip to the Otyugh Pit) short of Nar Demonbinder. Taking a single level in that would give you all sorts of goodies (some otherwise inaccessible spells, 5th levels, and Inimical Casting).

Edit: forgot those skill requirements. My bad!

Why Still and Silent, exactly? Are you planning on casting in armor, or expecting to spend a lot of time bound and gagged?

Did you pick Conjuration just because it's good, or for summoning stuff? More generally, what do you want to do with the character overall?

Well, Ruthgar (sp?) is always a good option, as it adds stuff and costs nothing. You become friends with elves, get a longer lifespan, and some weapon profs.

It goes into Abjurant Champion well. That add an option for swift spells without too much trouble, a hard find for a sorcerer. You get gishy, but you are here for the swift abjurations to throw around greater dispel magic each round.

Another option is incantrix, in all it's cheesy goodness.

With silent and still spells you could go into a sneaky class. Dip spellthief and then go unseen seer 10 / arcane trickster X. Master spellthief will get you casting in light armor.

your feat choice makes me ask, while sorcerer is stronger, why didnt you take beguiler? and along that line, if you're a gnome, Shadowcraft Mage (RoS) is an amazing option if you take Heighten Spell

Paragnostic Apostle (CC)
Incantatrix (PGtF, get Iron Will from the Otyugh Hole in CS to qualify)
Mindbender (CA, only take one level)
Divine Oracle (CD, get Skill Focus from the Frog God's Fane in CS to qualify)

If you're good aligned, use this trick (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=267805#4).

This. SO much this. A well built (hell, even an average) incantrix is a god among men. Take incantrix and never look back.

I'd say sorcerer6/incantrix10/archmage3/mindbender1.

EDIT: Take Mastery of Shaping, Master of Elements, and Spell-Like Ability as your High Arcanas.

Incantatrix.

We're sorcerers! Spelling is for the nerdy, int based wannabees.

A one-level dip into Binder and the Improved Binding feat makes Anima Mage a really appealing option. You'll end up with the ability to bind two 6th level vestiges (three if you take one more level in Binder), some of which are quite powerful (Balam is very useful for 1/5 round rerolls), and since you're a high Cha Sorcerer the DCs of your abilities will be high. Anima Mage grants full casting, an initiative boost, most notably 3/day you can use a metamagic feat for free (best for Persist shenanigans, as opposed to just Still/Silent stuff, although if you really need to use one of those without increasing the casting time then you can use it), and the capstone is that 1/day you can cast any spell you know as Still, Silent, and an Immediate Action. Good for stuff like Teleport to get out of a pinch, but better for stuff like Geas with its 10-minute casting time brought down to an immediate action.

Thanks for pointing that out though.

My main sorcerer template incorporates Argent Savant and Earth/Fire/Water/Air Dreamer.

However, if I were to play a spontaneous caster, I prefer Sha'ir or Generic Spellcaster, as their playstyles are much closer to what I prefer for casting.
