Dream Dwarven Sorc5**/Sandshaper2/Earthdreamer5/Sandshaper10 CL18 Earth Sense(1), Touchstone(city of the dead)(3), Heighten spell(6), Earth spell(9), mobile spellcasting(12), flashfrost spell(15), Quicken spell(18) Basic Sorc until the fifth level of earthdreamer then the character is permanantly burrowing underneath the party. If attacked the character uses moblile spellcasting to move and hit people with a spell and then moves back underground. Alternatively since the character can see through the earth he may cast summoning spells to aid allies instead. *I have thought about using a conjurer with the variant from the PHBII but the I think the dwarven sorc sub levels are better(see below) **Alternate Sorc from PHBII is taken, Dwarven sub level is taken at level 5. Kobold Sorc5/Kobold Paragon2/Earthdreamer5/Kobold Paragon3/Sandshaper 7 CL 19 Earth Sense(1), Heighten spell(3), Earth spell(6), Draconic Reservoir(9), Mobile spellcasting(12), Practical Metamagic(15), Quicken spell(18) This build is similar to the one above except practical metamagic is used for heighten spell making it so a 3rd level spell heightened to fifth level only takes a 4th level spell slot, and is treated as a 6th level spell with a +2 to caster level. The character has also taken the greater and normal draconic rite of passage, for a spell like ability usable 3/day and a +1 to Sorc spellcasting

Sure a couple of extra spells per day for every level are good for a wizard, but are they really that good for a sorc, especially when you have to take three useless levels of sorc in there instead of a good prestige class? I have never ben a fan of MotAO because of a wasted feat even if you do gain it back. I really like Earthdreamer, so I want to say it is required. I looked at runesmith but I wasn't all impressed, I'd rather not play a gish type with pally or it's variants. Sandshaper is there for all the extra spells known plus it's free metamagic stuff x/day. Oops the kobold version doesn't have touchstone, replacing either with feat 15 or 18
