I started off wanting to make a character going a ranged direction but ended up going completely opposite of that. I completely wasted away the day with the computer being on the dump trying to pass the time.
What I'm trying to do here is have a decent melee striker who can do his damage with or without his animal companion, and be able to do stuff besides just attack with a weapon.
What I came up with, it seems to me anyway, that I could have done something far better perhaps. So far this is what I have in really no order of preference.
Human with bonus feat. Traits... haven't decided yet besides Reactionary. STR 22, DEX 14, CON 14, INT 7, WIS 14, CHA 7
FORT 14, REF 12, WILL 7
Again in no order for level 13:
2 levels in Cavalier Beastrider/Gendarme w/Order of Cockatrice
3 levels in Inquisitor Sacred Huntmaster
3 levels in Hunter vanilla
1 level in Brawler Snakebite Striker
4 levels in Rogue Scout/Thug
What this nets me is +10 BAB, 8 feats from levels w/human bonus, 2 teamwork feats, Outflank bonus feat, Dazzling Display bonus feat, Power Attack bonus feat from Gendarme, 2 feats through Rogue Talents, +3d6 Sneak Attack.
Cavalier Beast Rider/Gendarme of Order of Cockatrice gives me Power Attack, Dazzling Display and +2 Morale bonus to attacks on Demoralized targets and 2 effective Druid animal companion levels.
Sacred Huntsmaster gives me 3 effective Druid AC levels, Wisdom to Initiative, Spells, 1/2 level to Initmidate/Sense Motive, Wisdom to monster Knowledge checks, Solo Tactics/Teamwork feat, Domain, Detect Alignments and Track.
Hunter gives me 3 effective Druid AC levels, Spells, Nature training, Outflank feat, Animal Focus, Hunter tactics/Teamwork feat, Track and Wild Empathy.
Snakebite Striker gives me +1d6 Sneak Attack, Brawler Cunning which allows me to dump INT and still get INT based feats, Unarmed Strike and Close Weapon group proficiency.
Scout/Thug Rogue gives me +2d6 Sneak Attack, Evasion, sneak attack on charges, +1 round of Shaken, ability to turn Shaken to Frightened, ability to make Sickened and 2 feats from talents.
Teamwork feats including Outflank are Paired Opportunists & Pack Flanking.
Power Attack, Hurtful, Weapon Focus Nodachi, Dazzling Display, Shatter Defenses, Improved Initiative, Intimidating Prowess, Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Boon Companion, Cornugon Smash and Improved Critical.
What I need to get is a big boost to my Intimidate skill. Class skills are all over the place.
Proficiency in light/medium armor and shields, simple/martial/close weapon group weapons/unarmed strike/hand & repeating crossbows.
12th level animal companion that can be ridden.
Spells from Inquisitor/Druid/Ranger lists.
Sneak attacking on a charge, on flanking and upon any shaken/frightened/panicked foe. Also +4 hit on flanking/AoO's too.
Hurtful will allow me to combine with Cornugon Smash to get a free intimidate check when I damage someone w/power attack, which will give me a swift action attack if successful and Shatter Defenses will allow that to be a sneak attack.
Things I need to get are a boost to Intimidate, Initiative, Will saves, and static damage. Not sure on what pet but leaning towards a Cat of some kind. Also need a trait and a cool Domain/Inquisition.
I think this build is a mess and wonder what can be done to salvage it.
