Optimized Pathfinder Wizard Blaster (Spellslinger)

This Optimized Pathfinder Wizard Blaster is an Asian Elf named Score Ch’ing Raymond (aka “Scorching Ray Man”). Through spellslinger he fires powerful rays, lines, cones infused with sorcerer orc and draconic bloodline powers. If the pistol malfunctions he cast the old fashion way until the pistol is mended. Now time for a song from Ohio Players to play respect to Score Ch’ing Raymond.

When you shoot those rays you got me so amazed and I kind like child. Yes I do. When you ignite a burst someone’s going to get hurt Best believe it child… cause it true.

FIRE, Da Da Da. Your setting creatures on FIRE. Woo Woo Woo Woo Woo.

FIRE, Da Da Da. Your setting creatures on FIRE. Da Da Da Da.

Note on Build Modifications – This pathfinder optimized wizard build is highly viable even without the campaign traits or Spellslinger archetype. I mention these because some GMs don’t like guns or traits. The heart of the build is the Sorcerer Crossblooded archetype, as well as, the Orc and Draconic Bloodlines.

Build Summary – Sorcerer1 (Crossblooded Archetype) / Wizard14 (Spellslinger Archetype) (School: School of the Gun) Sorcerer Bloodline are Orc and Draconic (Red Dragon for both). Opposition Schools are Abjuration, Divination, Enchantment and Necromancy. Standard Elf Traits.

Spells: The order in which the spells appear each level is the suggested order in which they should be learned. The wizard spells listed below assume that you only gain the spells per level that a wizard gets automatically. You will obviously get more than that. Choose additional spells learned wisely to match your campaign and party needs.

• Sorcerer – 0) Ray of Frost, Disrupt Undead, Spark, Mending; 1) Enlarge Person
• Wizard – Underlined spells are those that are usually prepared.  The other spells are spells you would have most likely learned advancing (though there could be many more you have learned).
