A bit of background:
My friends and I decided to create our own setting using Microscope (which is awesome). In our game world, Dragons have convinced a human emperor to kill the elves, and in return, the dragons will grace the emperor and his bloodline with a lifespan that rivals their own. A thousand years later, the dragons have all died off, the elven kingdoms are whittled down to one tenth their size, and the humans are left squabbling over who is the proper ruler of the throne. The game picks up after a hundred year war.
Fair Warning: Most of my choices were made based off of flavor and roleplay, not rollplay. This is my attempt at fixing some things with rollplay in mind.
I've decided to play a young Elven noble of whats left of their kingdom. I decided on the Vanguard Slayer class, mainly for the initiative boost, tactical flavor, and the general badassery that comes with Slayer. The character will have a deep hatred for humans, but will have to work with them.
Parameters:
1) Ability points gathered by using Standard method.
2) 3rd party allowed with approval (though I'd rather not)
3) Starting level is 7th
Here's where my build is at right now.
N Elf Vanguard Slayer 7
str: 17+1 (4th level ability bonus)
dex: 15+2 Racial
con: 14-2 Racial
int: 18+2 Racial
wis: 14
cha: 11
Traits:
Bruising Intellect: Intelligence to Intimidate
Armor Expert
Feats:
1 Power Attack
2 Bonus Teamwork Feat: Lookout
3 Intimidating Prowess
5 Seething Hatred (Humans) (Studied Target damaged doubled against favored enemy)
6 Slayer Talent: Combat Trick: Cornugon Smash
7 Killing Flourish (Bring enemy down to 0, demoralize those around him)
At 9th, thinking of taking Extreme Prejudice (Sneak attack vs favored enemy increased to d8)
How do I get the most out of the Slayer-specific feats Seething Hatred, Extreme Prejudice, and Killing Flourish? Are these feats viable? Any better ways of going about this, feat-wise?
You might also like the Sczarni Executioner Slayer Archetype. They are pretty good at slaughtering humanoids. You may also like the Hurtful feat v the Killing Flourish feat.
