[PoW] Improving CL: Bladecaster build

[Snowbluff]

So I have this Plumekith Aasimar Warlord4/Sorc1/Bladecaster build in the works. It will have some additional action blasts and some melee debuffs.

How do I improve my CL? It's a bit low and I want to hit 11 (scorching ray) asap, and improve it past that at higher levels.

My Bloodline s for Crossblooded with be Draconic and Primal. I'll use arcane steel and maneuvers (Kill the Wounded in particular) to set up a swift action scorching ray for (4d6 (+1d6 per spell level subsumed, some based on what buff maneuver I used) + 4 (+1 per die)) x3 damage.

Are you playing with Traits (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits)? If so, you can take the Magical Knack (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits/magic-traits/magical-knack) trait for a +2 on caster level.
Even if you do not use traits in general, you could talk with your DM to take the feat Additional Traits (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/additional-traits) to gain two traits.

[Snowbluff]

Yep. Already have it. I forgot of what the trait was called, so it wasn't there. :smalltongue:

How are you qualifying for Bladecaster with only one Sorcerer level? Racial spell-likes? In this case you'd probably be actually better off with a 3.5ish entry of Warder1/Sorc4/Warder+1

Magical Knack and Magical Lineage traits should pretty much do the heavy lifting for you.

Plumekith Aasimar.

I want the additional gambit and Cha to will.

I'm taking Warlord. Gambits are awesome. My secondary role is melee debuffer, and the gambits allow me to accomplish than

I'm also using Sacred Geometry over Wayang Spellhunter. The traits are nice, but I won't be exclusively using Scorching Ray, and I will have spells like Bestow Curse and Snowball as alternates.

And the 3e way of doing this still would avoid the 4th level or sorc. :smalltongue:
