I'm at 5th right now, and I'm contemplating my next feat.

I've got: Toughness, Point Blank Shot, and Empower Spell (5th level bonus feat).

I'm considering either Improved Initiative or Precise Shot (I cast a lot of Ray spells). I've got a personal aversion to Item Creation Feats, though I am considering Craft Wondrous Item. Also, my character's extremely selfish, so he wouldn't take a feat that primarily benefits the other party members rather than himself (like Craft Arms & Armor or Brew Potion).

Anyone else have an idea?

Craft Wondrous item is a great money saver, I highly recommend it.

Since you don't have Spell Penetration, I recommend you consider picking that up.

do wizards have +2 fortitude by that level? If they do, take Improved Toughness. Seriously man, +1 HP per HD and it work retro and post actively (so by level 20, 20 extra HP!)

I like Arcane Mastery a lot.

Extend Spell : hide all night for just one 3rd level spell slot.

Point Blank Shot : if you are a ray user.

Craft Wondrous Items : get that +6 headband more quickly.

Improved Initiative : spend less time vulnerable to rogues.

Have you decided on a prestige class yet? If not you might want to think about what you can get into and the requirements. Archmage, for example, would need you to get two Spell Focus feats and Skill Focus (Spellcraft). The payoff is good, but it requires a lot of investment.

I played a ray-user too and I made it like this:

Split Ray ( Twin but only for Rays)

Arcane Thesis ( Nice if you use some higher level Orb or etc.)

Improved Initiative

Sudden Maximize

He was level 10

My Arcane Thesis was Orb of Acid and once per day I fired out a splitted maximized orb of acid for 144 Damage :P
