I posted this on the Rise of the Runelords board but only got responses on how Nualia should be a AntiPaladin, I was hoping I could get some opinions on this build.
After all that effort of sacrificing her father for that Demon Talon it seems such a waste for her to not use it, so here is my rebuild, I would appreciate any input;
*In my games any character that meets the prerequisites gets Power Attack, Deadly Aim and Combat Expertise for free.
I'm going with Cleric of Lamashtu 3 / Weapon Master 3 as the fourth level of Cleric doesn't add enough, and Weapon Master can be used to remove the need for Weapon Focus, since she doesn't really benifit from a higher max Dex for her Breastplate.
The build uses a Demon Talon to deliver vicious touch effects. Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Bastard Sword is ditched as the Sword will only be used two handed, to do damage (as she can not Power Attack with her Talon) or Cleave. Her Bastard Sword is also given the Mighty Cleaving Enchantment.
Here is the basic progression outline:
Lv1 Cleric 1 - Skill Focus: Heal, Domains: Nightmare (for the Yeth Hound howl) and Ferocity
Lv2 Cleric 2 -
Lv3 Cleric 3 - Eldritch Heritage: Pestilence
Lv4 Weapon Master 1 - Cleave
Lv5 Weapon Master 2 - Selective Channel and Stance of the Xorn (punishes her less for Cleaving)
Lv6 Weapon Master 3 - Weapon Training: ClawThoughts? Any suggestions for variant channeling would also be great.

The will save and especially the reflex save of the character are not amazing - don't you think it's likely she'll be stunned or blinded or at the bottom of a pit by the end of round 1? The multiple melee options seem to be kind of a waste.
The obvious variant channeling option is
Madness: Harm—Creatures are confused until the end of your next turn.

I apologised, and you got your point in the first post, no reason to repeate it after I have admitted fault, it also says "don't be a jerk" there too, just saying.
This seemed more like a "bruce wayne is batman" sorta spoiler to me but I learnt my lession.
Build. Opinions.
Teapot. Kettle. Black.
Moving on...
What about a Warpriest?

The point is 3 different melee options are a waste on a character who will be rapidly debuffed to the point where they can't effectively use them.
If you drop the skill focus/EH you could get a couple of save boosting feats (Iron will & improved iron will if your players favor targeting will saves, etc.) which might let her survive long enough to use 2 melee options. If that seems too metagamey to you, just get iron will & lightning reflexes.
