Likewise, Healer Oblate background gives you Lore: Nature and Lore: Religion as class skills and has them work off of INT instead of WIS, which makes it a good one for a few arcane casters. The Oblate backgrounds group has some real good choices.

Starting with a class that gives you a choice in animal companion can be good if you want to play a main class that has limited choice for animal companion/mount. For example, if you want to play Arcane Rider but you don't want a horse mount, you start with Beast Rider to get a Wolf of Mastadon mount, and the Arcane Rider will let you keep that mount and level it. But keep in mind that most animal companions start as normal size and don't become large until level 7.

Is not a DIP, but going crossblooded picking only dragons and later getting levels in Draconic Disciple allow to advance all sorcerer draconic bloodlines at the same time.

Another funny thing about combining disciple with crossblooded sorc is - if you manage to get a level in disciple first - you get to flat out have 3 bloodlines + 1 mythic if you so fancy... Might just have some serial 2 (or even 3, if we're counting, like, trying Kamellia as a winter witch) blaster caster party implications.

Student of War's Mind Over Metal ability to replace dex with int can be nice for some builds, but you have to have dodge anyways to get the prestige class, which requires descent dex. One way around it is to take 1 level of Monk for the bonus feat that you don't have to meet the prerequisites for, one option being Dodge.

Divine Hunter (hunter) for three levels can be a huge benefit if the player or companion has an animal companion. I did this with Seelah so I could get a boar instead of a horse. Three levels gave my boar multiple things: divine or evil subtype, more resistances, smite, and a variable bonus that you can choose to give the animal that will increase as long as you continue to have levels that increase animal companion. Originally, I went with a constitution bonus until I got a belt of +6 con. Then I switched it over to str. Then I got an evil belt that gives +4 str and +8 con so I switched the bonus to give my boar evasion and improved evasion. There are a lot of potential bonuses to give your animal companion so you can change them as you need to.

Magis eldritch scion gives you all the magus bonuses and qualifies you for dragon disciple. It's a great dip.

Best bloodlines to pick should be at LEAST one of the elemental ones. Fire is usually pretty good since you get hit with that plenty throughout the game. Being immune to fire, critical hits and precision damage is a massive defensive boost for any class, when you pick the bloodline mythic feat.

Thanks for putting so much effort into this.

you can't pick the same secret with loremaster twice, however 3 levels of loremaster will give you an improved improved critical from fighter and critical mastery for rogue. a great option for an eldrich knight after finishing 10 levels.

Careful piling up too many dips - non-martial classes get +0 base attack on their first level so grabbing a bunch of non-martial classes is a great way to irreversibly shitcan your plus to hit.

9:17 this is inaccurate. You can pick only 1 secret from each category, unless it's bugged or something, but it says so in description. However you forgot the mention that Loremaster combat secret is a bonus combat feat that ignores prerequisites, which is gigantic... For example you can qualify for loremaster as level 6 crusader cleric and on level 7 dip loremaster to get Greater Vital Strike. This is huge, because this feat requires 16 BAB which cleric can never have even on level 20. So something impossible to pick even on level 20 becomes ours at level 7............... However currently the spell progression fusion of Loremaster works for divine casters, but doesn't work with arcane. I assume its bugged. Hopefully they will fix it :)
