I was just wanting someone to type all the stats, information and stuff that I need to make a battle sorceror. I don't have the book Unearthed Arcana. I know that is a bit time consuming, but if anyone feels like they would like to spend a few minutes doing their good turn daily. I'd be appreciative.

I believe they have either d6 or d8 HD.

BAB as cleric.

Profiency and no ASF in light armor and shields (not sure about the shields)

And spell casting of a sorceror of one level lower

Im not 100% on this information because I dont currently have the book at hand but I hope this helped

Actually, I think it's spellcasting one spell less per level (so instead of 6/4/2 it's 5/3/1, for instance).

Sorcerer Variant: Battle Sorcerer

The battle sorcerer is no weak arcanist, hiding behind the fighters. Instead, she is a capable physical combatant who mixes magical prowess with fighting skill.
Hit Die

d8.
Base Attack Bonus

The battle sorcerer uses the base attack bonus progression of the cleric.
Class Skills

Remove Bluff from the battle sorcerer's class skill list. Add Intimidate to the battle sorcerer's class skill list.
Class Features

The battle sorcerer has all the standard sorcerer class features, except as noted below.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency

At 1st level, a battle sorcerer gains proficiency with any light or one-handed martial weapon of the character's choice. She also gains proficiency with light armor.
Spellcasting

A battle sorcerer can cast sorcerer spells derived from her class levels of battle sorcerer while in light armor without the normal arcane spell failure chance.

A battle sorcerer has fewer daily spell slots than a standard sorcerer. Subtract one spell per day from each spell level on Table: The Sorcerer (to a minimum of zero spells per day). For example, a 1st-level battle sorcerer may cast four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells per day (plus bonus spells, if any).

A battle sorcerer knows fewer spells per spell level than a standard sorcerer. Subtract one spell known from each spell level on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known (to a minimum of one spell per spell level). For example, a 4th-level battle sorcerer knows five 0-level spells, two 1st-level spells, and one 2nd-level spell. When she reaches 5th level, the battle sorcerer learns one additional 1st-level spell, but doesn't learn an additional 2nd-level spell (since two minus one is one).

Since this thread is discussing a prestige class, I'll move it over to the Prestige Class board.

It is a variant CORE class. Not a prestige class.

Yep, for some reason, I thought it was prestige class. I'll move it back to the other board.
