If you were going to build a Sorcerer (Blaster) and you wanted to grab as many class features as you could without giving up a single level of casting How Would You Do It?

If its Pathfinder, stay pure Soc, and pick the right bloodline. Then also be human or a race with "Pass for human" feature...the FCB of an extra known spell per level is the most important feature you coul;d ever hope to get. If it's 3.5, then prestige out ASP.

Sorry to be thick, but what do FCB and ASP mean?

FCB Favored class bonus, ASP..As soon as possible.
In Pathfinder,you pick your favored class, and pick either a +1 hit point/level or a + 1 skill point per level bonus. However, most races also have an alternate bonus...Humans can pick an extra known spell for Sorcerers( one level lower then your max).....Also, 1/2 elfs, 1/2 orcs, asimier, teiflings and many other races can chose the human bonus, if their human blood is strong.

Question: Pure class features, or optimized build? Class features looks like a bunch of dips, optimization probably involves Abjurant Champion mixed in somewhere.

Don't want to derail the thread, but could you explain the difference between pure class features and optimized build?

As many features/abilities as possible due to just having levels in those classes (familiar, weapon proficiency, bonus feats, unique abilities...)
VS.
getting the most you can out of the abilities you have

Quantity vs. Quality.

What's a full list of game parameters, such as source material allowed, point buy/stat generation, available wealth, party composition, expected threats, etc.?

No build, no party, no campaign. Just a generic question, I guess I should just drop it since itseems so hard to understand

Sorcerer 6/Incantatrix 10 will get you a lot of class features, and they'll be of very high quality. Highly recommended.
