First of all, i'm pretty new to PF, so sorry in advance if any of my questions will seem stupid or smth.
So, i'm building a str-based investigator (empiricist) and i want to take a 1-lvl dip to get some heavy armor proficiency. Delaying spell progression and studied combat might be painful, but I want heavy armor for some rp-reasons and burning 2 feats on it seems even worse.
I see 3 options currently, but can't decide which one is better. Or maybe there's smth more i don't see.
1. Basic Fighter. Pretty simple, +1 BAB and extra feat (and feats are great).
2. Battle Host Occultist (transmutation implement). +2 bonus to physical stat is great while i can't afford enough stat-bumping gear, legacy weapon is cool, 2 spells slots and a cantrip might be useful. But i loose 1 BAB for those goodies.
3. Steelblood Bloodrager. Bloodrage is cool (though 6 rounds a day is not to much), bloodline familiar is great and versatile (while it will not grow stronger, it still gives a nice bonus). And +1 BAB ofc.
So what do you think?
