I'm working on a Forest Gnome Cloistered Cleric that will be entering Shadowcraft Mage. Our DM is allowing feats at every odd level instead of every 3 levels a la Pathfinder, so I will be able to qualify for Shadowcraft Mage after 5th level via DMM: Heighten shenanigans that have already been approved by the DM. The character is Chaotic Good but has his powers granted to him by The Mockery due to unfortunate events in his backstory. The character is starting with the Trickery domain (for class skills and Time Stop) and Illusion domain with the Spontaneous Domain ACF for access to the required illusion spells. Stats were rolled, and middle-aged bonuses and penalties are applied:
Str 8
Dex 11
Con 16
Int 14
Wis 19
Cha 16
In addition to increasing a stat at every 4th level, we get to increase a stat at 6, 10, 14, and 18 as long as it's a different stat than the previous increase. Essentially, I can boost Wisdom as normal but also boost a different stat at the indicated levels.
I want to find ways to increase the caster level on my spells, and I want to get the DCs fairly high. I'm thinking of adding in a few levels of Divine Prankster for the ability to use a turn attempt to boost Illusion DCs. I'm not certain what to do about caster level except for getting prayer beads and whichever ioun stone increases caster level.
