Sacred Fist Warpriests and Crusader's Flurry

[Arutema]

I just realized that the Sacred Fist archetype for the Warpriest is the only way to qualify for Crusader's Flurry as a single-classed character. The archetype doesn't give you proficiency with your deity's favored weapon, but that can be made up with by being a half-elf with Ancestral Arms.

What are some good deities to use this trick with? Of the core 20 I was looking closest at Shelyn to get a reach weapon. Sarenrae could be nice for dervish dance shenanigans if sacred fists weren't so feat-starved to begin with.

What are good deities to look at for this? Am I overlooking anything massively good?

Lamashtu, Sobek, Reymenda, Uruskreil, Kro'akoth, and Rull all have favored weapon of falchion, which a half-orc warpriest could get without spending a feat on. The number of extra attacks being made with a two-handed weapon makes crits that much more likely, so going with a high crit range weapon would be a solid bet.

Out of the core ones, Shelyn, Sarenrae, and Gorum are also decent choices for similar reasons, but are a bit worse for the 'feat tax' of proficiency.

Throw Pummeling Strike* onto a flurrying sacred pick or scythe and watch the blood fly.

I was looking at a level of inspired blade plus fencing grace and combat reflexes than going sacred fist and crusader's flurry. Still not single classed but you only need high dex and wis with a 12 in CHA and INT to get unarmored rapier fighter with some parrying going on.

[Imbicatus]

Torag would be worthwhile. The warhammer isn't that great on its own, but with the feat from inner sea gods you can spell strike with it.

Shizuru with a katana is the gold standard for some. Especially if you multiclass monk for a hungry ghost.

Do you know what they also get as a single class? Ki channel

Don't forget Tetsubo and Naginata. More x4 crit fun.

I'd think Erastil (Longbow) would be a neat one.

Pick up the trait Hunter's Eye for proficiency.

Eventually grab Rapid Shot and Manyshot.

Only downside is that Warpriests do not get access to Cat's Grace, so you'd have to invest in a Belt of Incredible Dexterity asap.

Darn, missed the editing window.

Just realized Crusader's Flurry only works with melee weapons.

Well, there is Geon, and Eligos for the Lance.
