I'm tinkering around with a shield fighter [Ftr(Brawler)/Mnk(MoMS)] and I have three feat slots left. I have the shield feats I wanted and was looking for a neat combo. I was thinking Power Attack/Imp Bull Rush/Greater Bull Rush to provoke AoOs or Point Blank/Precise Shot/Deadly Aim for some switch hitting capability but both seem kind of meh to me. So I was wondering what crazy/unusual/fun combo you could do with three feats. Will probably have low Charisma so no Eldritch Heritage, most likely human but open to suggestions, main stats will be Str/Dex/Wis...
Whatcha got?
Bewildering Koan, for EPIC TROLLING.
Anyway, for your character... I assume you already have Shield Slam? How about Spiked Destroyer (swift action attack after a bull rush), Vicious Stomp (AoO against adjacent target falling prone).
Do you have the full description for Spiked Destroyer? If Shield Slam is a prerequisite, is that attack, free bull rush, swift attack?
Diehard Endurance Survivor. Only fun at first level really, but then its hella fun
i myself really enjoy the trip and drag trees, drag is particularly fun. bullrush would be a little cliche for a shield fighter impo, would be much more fun to drop your longsword to the end of its weapon cord and grab someone by the throat with a spiked gauntlet.
Yeah I'm fond of Eldritch Hertiage myself, I just don't see this guy having a 17 Cha. I like the drag feats mentioned earlier but it is similiar to my Ki Throw Manuever Master I've played before.
Nature Soul -- Animal Ally are my two favorite feats for classes that do not get animal companions.
Ki throw, Improved Ki Throw, and Spinning Throw. Because wrestlers.
depends on what you want to do...
- nature soul->animal ally->boon companion gets you a full progression animal companion (from a limited list)
- leadership is the single most potent feat in the game.
- racial heritage[whatever crazy thing you want]+2 crazy racial feats is fun (could go kobold for breath weapon/flight, or Grippli for tongue, lol)
- additional traits (make X a class skill with +1)->skill focus in X->feat that gives smaller bonus to X and another skill
just to name a few...

Boon Companion only works if you have the Animal Companion or Familiar class feature. If you're taking Animal Ally then you can't have the Animal Companion or Mount class features in the first place.
Sorry.
Quick Draw, Combat Reflexe, Power attack :
Start initiative / Draw a polearm / ready an attack (followed by a quickdraw combo) / get an attack of opportunity against the ennemy / attack the ennemy with your readied attack / drop the polearm / quickdraw a shield and sword.
Best level 1 fighter combo ever imo.

clearly this is an issue of table variance (and i don't know what the PFS ruling on it is) but RAI it should work (when boon companion was released there weren't options for getting a companion besides a class feature)... especially since RAW the only classes that could use this feat are the sylvan wildblooded sorcerer and (arguably) a witch- sylvan sorcs are the only class has the "animal companion" class feature (others have "nature bond" or "hunter's bond" or whatever), and no class has the "familiar" class feature, but i think you'd probably have to concede that "witch's familiar" should count (other classes have "arcane bond" and the like).
with table variance, it obviously won't work in every group but if animal ally is a direction you want to head its worth talking to your GM about.

Intimidating Prowess/Power Attack/Cornugon Smash
Going two-handed means you really only need Power Attack as a combat feat. I love Intimidating Prowess as a way to get mileage out of sky-high Strength in non-combat situations, and combined with Cornugon Smash your melee types can hand out debuffs like candy. Shaken is -2 on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks, and the DC to demoralize most enemies is pitifully low.

Hm, I never noticed that bit of wording. This is interesting. Thanks for that.
Sorry if I seemed like I was trying to spoil your fun or anything. At first glance it looked pretty obvious that it shouldn't be used that way, now the whole feat shouldn't really be used by anyone. :P

Yeah, when a feat says "animal companion class feature" they really mean "class feature that grants you an animal companion."
Jury's still out on whether a feat granting you a class feature counts as granting you a class feature or not - but I say it does.
