After creating the caster version of the bloodfire mage, I am now making an attempt at making a tank based Bloodfire Mage. The build at the moment is very feat tight and inflexible, and will not come out well if not very carefully built, and using good subraces helps this build out tremendously. The DCs are terrible, but you can tank and cast at appropriate times, something the other Bloodfire magi cannot do.
The Half-Handed Flamethrower.
Basics: By 20: 9/1/10 Sorc/Paladin/RDD
By 40: 19/1/20/ Sorc/Pal/RDD
Note: MUST be lawful good. (You can change alignment after lvl 2)
Fovored Race/Subrace: Dragonblooded/Shard/Hound Archon/1/2 Prissy (This build is very stat-tight)
Stats: Base, In order Str/Dex/Con/Int/Wis/Cha (Remember to adjust if not using the reccomended subrace, Dragonblooded is used for best outcome in this instance)
16/8/14/12/8/16
18/8/16/14/6/18
Skills: Want Concentration, Spellcraft, Discipline, and Tumble (CC). Remember to get 3 lore at first level, and youll want the excess from the RDD int boost into whatever you want.
Level Progression:
1: Src, Take SF Evocation
2: Pal
3: RDD, Take Weapon Focus (Note, if you are not using Dragonblooded, you will have to take sorc through 5th level.

AB:(40) 38
AB:(60): 61 :*(
AC: 21/23
Saves: (Fort/Ref/Will)
32/20/26 (40 calculation)
37/25/31 (60 Unequipped)
69/57/62 (60 Fully equipped)
HP: 530/920 (1160)
Spell Selection for sorc:
1s: Burning Hands*, Negray*, Mage armor, True Strike, resist elements.
2s: Combust*, Flame weapon*, Lesser Dispel, Death Armor, ?
3s: Fireball*, Gust, Displacement, Flame Arrow*,
4s: Stoneskin*, Wall of fire*, Elemental Shield*, Impr Invis
5s: Firebrand*, Energy Buffer*, Lesser Mantle, Mestil's Sheath
6s: Tensers Trans*,Forceful Hand, Greater Breach
7s: DB fireball*, Shadow Shield, Spell Mantle
8s: Incindiary Cloud*, Greater Sanctuary, Mind Blank
9s: Meteor Swarm*, Mordenkainen's Disjunction
As can be seen, the build is very feat tight and does not leave a lot of room for flexibility. There is probably something I have missed within the building, so feel free to comment if you have a suggestion.
