Remind me when we actually have any Clerics
What would be your preferences for a 1st level and 2nd level PoSK for our Mystics to complement their builds?Sample Mystic build and progression:
Mystic 1 - HP 9
STR 8 - DEX 12 - CON 13 - INT 14 - WIS 15 - CHA 10. Feats: Healing Devotion, Magical Training (cast as sorcerer, Prestidigitation, Message, Launch Item), Precocious Apprentice (Zone of Truth).
Flaw: Noncombatant
Non-human: No Diplomacy. Gain Flaw: Inattentive.
Skills: Max Concentration, Diplomacy, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (Religion), Spellcraft.
Special: Sun Domain: gain ability to turn undead as a Cleric.
Spells known: Detect Magic, Guidance, Create Water, Read Magic, Divine Favor, Resurgence
Advancement:
2nd: Learn Mending.
3rd: Enter Church Inquisitor Prestige class. Use extra skill points for Sense Motive and if non-human Diplomacy, otherwise Bluff. Gain the Inquisition domain (learn Detect Chaos, get +4 to Dispel). Learn Protection from Evil.
4th: +1 Wis. Get Heat Metal from Sun domain and Zone of Truth from Inquisition domain. Learn Substitute Domain and Purify Food and Drink. Retrain Practised Spellcaster into Expanded Arcana (Zone of Truth - to be able to Substitute away the Inquisition domain if needed).
5th: Learn Remove Fear, Divine Insight.
6th: Take the Divine Defiance feat. Learn Dispel Magic and get Searing Light and Detect Thoughts from Domains). Retrain Expanded Arcana (Zone of Truth) into Expanded Arcana (Zone of Truth, Dark Way).
Combat gear: Reinforced Segmented Fullplate, Extreme Shield, Razor-Sharp Thinblade, two javelins, razorsharp dagger. Misc gear.
tl;dr: At level 1 they have decent healing through turn-fuelled Healing Devotion, and 1/day Zone of Truth. At level 4 they get excellent flexibility thanks to Substitute domain (which they can end whenever they want if they want their actual Domains back). At level 6 Divine Defiance makes them very useful in large land battles: they can spontaneously dispel enemy spells as a standard action!
They also have some social skills thank to Church Inquisitor and Divine Insight (so they could be decent as lawmen or Inquisition goons).
Sadly they have no save-or-die spells (that would require switching to the Dream domain to get sleep or something, which they can't do before level 4) but they can always just buff themselves and hit things in melee anyway.
Thanks to Healing Devotion which auto-activates when they fall to 0HP or less, they're our toughest magelings by far!
Depends how Cheesy @DragonParadox is going to let us be. Can we have Lya use Alternative Spell Source to craft PoSK of Divine versions of Arcane spells?What would be your preferences for a 1st level and 2nd level PoSK for our Mystics to complement their builds?

Oh and do you mind that I made this a 6-level build? They're basically divine Sorcerers, I think that they should also stop at level 6 and not 5
Get half ranks in two things rather than no ranks in it.
What? Why would someone with 8 Strenght and no combat feats have that?
Tremendously wasteful to have expanded arcana for a spell you already know.4th: +1 Wis. Get Heat Metal from Sun domain and Zone of Truth from Inquisition domain.

What do you think of it now?Get half ranks in two things rather than no ranks in it.

Substitute Domain is already fairly cheesy/OOC.
Should have more charisma.
@edit: Remove Fear is also a waste.
Instead of Divine Favor, they should have Conviction, then pick up Mass Ressurgence at sixth instead of Zone of Turth and Dark Way.
...define "biological children"I have a question are we going to have biological children at some point in the future
...define "biological children"
Because pod-made children with heavy magic manipulation is all but certain. Even if one Lya's body is such a pod.
We're not planning on it soon no.I want Lya to somehow turn her ovum into "metallic" dragon what-evers ever since DP noted that metallic/chromatic pairings can result in some exotic dragon-type offspring.
The Imperium could use a gaudy-ass prismatic dragon prince or princess, don't you agree?

We're going to be marrying Lya.
Also, the dice roll will result from any pairing of different species of dragon, not just metallic and chromatic. If Relath or Amrelath ever mated with that Shadow Dragon that tried to kill us back in Illyrio's manse, there would be a 25% chance of random species. I think it was a certain percentage of offspring will be the mother's kindred, another percentage the father, and then the last half is completely random.
We're going to be marrying Lya.
I think Chromatic/Metallic might be a path to Prismatic in particular, but I'm not exactly sure.Huh really? Thought chromtaic/metallic was somehow more special. Speaking of Relath... Djinn/Brine Dragon courting success?
oh god.
Eh, it's not going to bother us. The child will almost certainly be raised in Armun Kelisk by its mother (assuming that it exists).oh god.
Half-Chaotic Outsider/Half Asshole.
The salt. The salt.
