Divine hunter / Mysterious stranger build help.

I was told a DH/MS build was pretty good, also since Holy Gun is banned in Society play, I was hoping someone could give me a good build for DH/MS! Any help would be appreciated Thanks!

I have also been working on a Mysterious Stranger 1 / Divine Hunter 11 build.

* You need the Human bonus feat.
* I'd pump CHA all the way up because both classes use it.
* You don't need much attack bonus because you're usually attacking touch AC. I'd drop weapon focus.
* Rapid Reload is a must. Without it, rapid shot does nothing for you. In the short term, you'll use it avoid the misfire penalty for using paper cartridges.
* Mysterious Stranger does not get the quick clear deed, and that really hurts. Two misfires, and your gun doesn't work until you spend an hour repairing it. Before you get a magic pistol, you'll want to stop firing after the first misfire (a second misfire permanently destroys non-magical firearms). To fire more than once per round, you're going to need to use paper cartridges, and those increase misfire by 1. That means that even with a reliable weapon, rapid shot is risky.
* You're going to want a composite longbow as a back-up weapon, and when you do take rapid shot, you'll want a second pistol.
* I would take gunslinger at 1st level.
* Check out the "Called" faith trait. Let's you reroll a 1 on an attack roll once per day.
