Your favored class will be Sorcerer, and at any given level you will want to choose for your favored class bonus, either a bonus hit point or a new spell to add to your known spells (as found in the Advanced Players’ Guide). First-level feats will be Power Attack and Skill Focus (Knowledge (Planes)). Now, this means that until you raise that Charisma score, our sorcerer will only have access to up to 4th level spells, but that will be dealt with soon enough. His other stats will be as follows: Dex 10, Con 12, Int 10, Wis 7, Cha 14. However, by about level 10, you’ll see where I’m going with this.Īlright, so starting statistics! Our human sorcerer with the copper dragon bloodline will begin play with a Strength score of 20 (that’s 18 from point buy and +2 human racial bonus) which is already an impressive score for any character.
This also means that at low levels this Sorcerer will not be charging to the front lines like a Fighter or Paladin, since his HP and AC will both start out relatively low. Obviously, at low levels the best bonuses to ability scores are going to be through spells, since high-level magic items are just too expensive. And through his bloodlines and polymorph spells, a Sorcerer actually has access to a good number of Strength bonuses also. The reason this works so well, though, is that the Dragon Disciple prestige class grants several bonuses to Strength. Now, you may think that it’s a little funny that a Sorcerer, the spellcaster that usually stays in the back of the party throwing fireballs at enemies, will be specc’ed out for Strength. This is what you're going to become by the end of this build. This is the sorcerer as Paizo thinks of her. What I’ll be trying to do with this build is stack as many bonuses as possible to the Strength score. Since all of these are different types of bonuses, they stack to give a total of 23 AC (10 + 6 armor + 2 shield + 3 Dex + 1 deflection + 1 nat. To get a high AC, you want to make sure you have an armor bonus (say, +6 from chainmail), a shield bonus (a heavy steel shield gives a +2), a high Dexterity bonus (up to +3 in light armor), a deflection bonus (from a Ring of Protection +1), a natural armor bonus (either racially or from an Amulet of Natural Armor +1), and possibly even a size bonus (a small character gets a +1). The most obvious example of this is with your armor class. The first thing to consider for maximizing an ability score is “how do I get the most bonuses possible that can stack?” There are many different bonuses that you can find in Pathfinder and by default, as long as they are of different types, they stack. But instead of focusing on class abilities and feats that make him a better fighter, I’m going for the maximum Strength that is possible, to hopefully KO any enemy as quickly as possible from massive damage. This build will still be based on the Sorcerer and Dragon Disciple.

That led me to consider how to get the absolute maximum Strength bonus, and that is the build that you’ll see today. And it hit me that Strength was really the focus. I was thinking about what the most important thing to focus on for that character would be.
This month I’ll be showing you a build that I came up with after posting the “interlude” that is based on the Sorcerer/Paladin/Dragon Disciple build. I’ve been away for a couple months because of various engagements, but I’m getting back on track, starting with this post.
