beccaelizabethToday's distraction: weird prestige class builds for if you can only go forwards never retrain and you start out being a witch in Sarkoris.
Entire point of build: acquire spells that are not on the Witch list.
Easy mode: it is Worldwound time or after and being a witch is just, like, unfashionable verging on dubious.
Varisian tattoo: Transmutation (avaria): Mage Hand.
Nice everyday spell that isn't a Witch cantrip. Only three castings a day but it lasts as long as you Concentrate.
Varisian tattoo is a prerequisite for Tattooed Mystic. First level of Tattooed Mystic gets you Familiar Tattoo. Now you can carry your familiar as ink and be all 'a witch? do you see a familiar around here?'
... you could also be a Mirror Witch as seen in the Villain Codex, but. This way you have a handy tattoo instead of your irreplaceable thing and or friend. And it cannot be erased or dispelled, it says in the rules.
... I was imagining my phone as my mirror familiar, and a tattooed on Security Belt to keep it in an invisible pocket, but this works without using up a tattoo slot so you can still get that belt you wanted.
With these tattoos you look like a Tattooed Sorceror, an improvement on witch in certain social circumstances.
But maybe it is Old Sarkoris and you very much need to look like a divine caster if you want to cast at all.
... yes you can get a different non prestige class but prestige classes keep your number going up for caster level etc.
If using paper rules you want Pathfinder Savant, and if using xbox Wrath of the Righteous it looks like Loremaster will do: a one spell at a time dip into other spell lists, including cleric and druid. Nice respectable lists for a nice respectable not a witch.
... in most rule sets you could just retrain, but that really takes the stress out of having made a Deal with Powers you Know Not, you know?
You wouldn't take two Prestige Classes in the normal way of things, it's hard enough finding one that actually helps more than getting 20 in what you started with.
But in Wrath of the Righteous on the computers you can go Legend and have to fill 40 levels, which was an unexpected surprise the only time I've done it, so the new levels above 20 weren't exactly carefully thought out.
But I read you can get your caster level to 28 if you start a prestige class before you go Legend, so... nifty.
Usually I want to try Mystic Theurge, which needs more than 20 levels in some combos to get 9th level spells at all. But today I got distracted on a whole other rabbit, so.
... still not useful maths, but I do get annoyed at all the build guides that would have you take a tour of alignments just to dip a few extra points of damage. Figure out who you are and stick with it, that's the storyteller way.
anyway...
