Please help me build my Kitsune Mesmerist.

[Gun Dragon]

Can you guys help me finish my plan for my character? Do I need to switch anything around? What spells do I want? Is there a finished Mesmerist spell guide out there? What other feats do I want? Are you all going to ignore my Kitsune Mesmerist's posts again?

I am making a Party Face character that can talk most NPCs into doing anything I want. And to make my party enemies beg for mercy!

This is my Mesmerist build so far. I am starting out at level 9.

Kitsune

Str 8
Dex 14
Con 14

This is my plan for my feats and class picks.

Spell penetration might be useful later on. Also, there's a bunch of kitsune feats; fox shape, swift kitsune shapechanger, vulpine pounce which you might like.

Noble Scion seems like a waste to me, you are not benefiting as much from it as you'd from Improved Initiative.

I imagine your tool of trade will be the hand-crossbow, right? I'd probably recommend Rapid Reload at some point so you can kite while triggering Painful Stare.

I don't know if this is for PFS for not. If it isn't, go cram Deceitful and Cunning Caster in there. If it is...wait for Ultimate Intrigue :(

With Noble Scion house of war makes my character a noble and It gives a bonus to initiative as big as my charisma modifier. If I add a headband of charisma +2, I will have a bonus of 6 instead of the Improved Initiative bonus of 4. And I don't know if my game master will allow me to take both.

And You lose your dexterity bonus, which is good enough as it is. You are boosting something that doesn't matter as much for this character. Just get rapid reload so you are useful with a crossbow. You'll never have enough spells as to completely ignore combat.

I am planning on using a sword cane with keen, with a debonair character feel to it. I want the sword cane to be painted black and have a small silver fox head on the handle. Or do I want the crossbow or both?

Can you make a list of feats and stare's up to level 20 that is assembled better and after that can you help me pick my spells?
