Another thread asking Wizard build advice

[Bunnysmack]

Thinking of making a Tiefling wizard. Starting stats invested into having Int 20, Dex 16, and Con16. Starting feat will be Spellcasting Prodigy.

Where it gets tricky is in selecting the prestige classes I want...so far Blood Magus, Archmage, and Arcane Scholar all look great, but I obviously can't take ten levels in all three prestige classes; furthermore, meeting the feat requirements for all of them sounds downright impossible for a Tiefling that is starting with Spellcasting Prodigy (especially because IDEALLY, I'd like to take the craft feats for Magic Arms and Armor as well as Wondrous Items so I can make swag for lower level future characters I make). Which classes would you recommend I keep and/or drop? If I don't go the scholar route, which metamagic feats are indispensable to acquire for a Wizard? Lastly, does the Master Alchemist ability to increase the max spell level of brewed potions stack with the blood mage ability to brew potions inside your own body?

And yes, I know that blood mages are murdered on sight, but the act of hiding his dark powers and/or trying to convince others not to find it inherently evil all sounds like fun roleplay.

P.S. If anyone wants to RP taking my character on as an apprentice, that would a fun way to get introduced to the game.

Crafting is disabled, thus the crafting feats and skills don't do anything.

Oh really? Thanks for the heads up. Does that include Brew Potion and Scribe Scroll? Seeing as Master Alchemist and Blood Mage both have abilities that revolve around those feats, I may want to avoid that combo entirely.

Those two work.

As for the main inquiry, which would be the best Prestige class to drop in terms of the ones I've listed? Archmage, Arcane Scholar, or Blood Magus? Also, if arcane scholar gets dropped, what meta magic feats should I invest in as must have feats?

Tiefling Wizards allow you to go the Wizard/Palemaster/Shadow Dancer/ Blood Magus route.
All you need is 19 dex, Pale Master opens up hide, move silently, and listen as class skills for easier acess to Shadowdancer.
