I'm building a character for a Pathfinder campaign, with all Paizo books allowed (cheese subject to DM approval). The party is currently level 4 and needing a healer, so we agreed that the next character to die would be replaced by one. My wizard died last session, leaving me with the duty of building one.
The DM suggested that I create a Mystic Theurge, but from reading various forums, levels 4-7 seem to be the worst time to play such a build. I'd like to play as a Mystic Theurge because they can heal, which is a major issue for the party, and because I typically play prepared arcane casters (mostly wizards).
I'd like to be a different kind of caster than I was last time, so preferably not a gnome illusionist. Also, for RP reasons, I'd like to worship Pharasma if possible.
With the following stat array, how best can I go about this?
15
15
14
13
12
11
The rest of the party has:
Dwarf Drunken Monk
Human Ranger (2 weapon)
Human(not sure?) Rogue
So far I'm considering Cleric 3/Wizard 3/Mystic Theurge 10/X 4
I'm thinking of taking these feats:
Addtional Traits for Reactionary and Magical Knack (Wizard)
Arcane Armor Training
I've got 6000 gold to work with, and may spend no more than 50% of it on a single item.
