Does everything else look fine? I updated the character sheet with your corrections.

Oh wow I missed a lot of things. Thanks for the corrections.

Thanks a lot for your help. Finally got my character done. If you would like to look over it and maybe give some pointers and tips, that would be awesome. Character Sheet

If you want that prestige class you need skill focus diplomacy. If not you don't really need mounted archery as you will spend full rounds fiering from your horse mostly also you basically get that bonus from the normal samurai class. Not sure if adaptive is worth it. If you have a buddy who will give you bulls strength it could be.

Since skill focus is part of the bugyo class, do I still need to take it? I get a free sill focus feat at level 4 bugyo. So why should I take it before that?

I have a max of 30k

would getting an adaptive +2 composite longbow be worth it?

Also Mounted Archery vs Skill Focus (Dipolomacy)?

So all in all I should have something like Deadly Aim, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Cluster Shot and Leadership as feats?

Thanks for the catch there, I missed that. Wouldn't be a point in my samurai build if I can't use shin no ya.

What kind of dex belt should I get? Should I drop 8k on the +4 dex belt, even though I am wearing the armor that limits my dex to +4, and I already have +4 dex from my ability score?

Yeah, I am 100% going to stay in ranged fighting unless I am forced to go melee. I'm glad some of your suggestion are already in my build. Looks like I started of on the right path. I tried getting the oathbow, but he DM said max 10k on any one item.

Those are some good suggestions but I forgot to mention I am using the Yabusame archtype. So rapid shot isn't useful since it would negate shin no ya. I think.

This is from 3.5. I was playing a Goliath Barbarian with a huge battle axe and really god grappling skills. The only real minus to my glorious goliath of death was his low intelligence and constant seek of a challenge.
Anyway our party is just strolling through a forest, going towards a bridge guarded by some goblin. Our aim was to pass the bridge alive.
The bridge is a fortified one with tall battlements on both sides. Our party gets it's fighting buts on and starts taking out the first goblins guarding the battlements. My goliath, in his infinite wisdom decides he will just rush in and kill a few goblins. Boring combat ensues, where I chop 3 goblins in half in one swing, because of me being enlarged and having monkey grip + a huge battle axe and ridiculous strength from being a barbarian.
WE clear out the first company of goblins pretty fast and start crossing the bridge. Arrows start raining down on us from the other battlements but we make a run for the other side.Only to be met by another company of goblins, this time trained goblins marching in a phalanx formation. Our team's fighter and cleric go in to fight them while I stay back. My goliath senses tingling.

And I was right, they had what to be tingling for. Out from behind the battlements a dragon rises up. Our whole party collectively craps their pants because we are at lvl 10 only and this is not a small dragon. It's not a full blown grown-up dragon either, but still more than a lvl 10 party can take on. I have to distract the dragon from my party members, cause otherwise they will get screwed. I decide to throw my 2 throw-able axes at it. One skims over it's head and the other hits it in the chest but does no damage. It is enough to catch it's attention anyway.
I run to the begging of the bridge and wait for the dragon to come to me. It lands and roars a mighty roar, but I am not afraid, this is but one more creature to put into my "Gloriously Defeated Creatures" book

Again, in my infinite wisdom, I decide to do something very logical in this scenario. I grapple the dragon. This grappling goes on for 5 rounds, my dice keeping me in. I had some very lucky rolls. I start to notice that this isn't going to really work and I should figure out a better plan.
At this point my party has finished off all the remaining goblins and is telling me they are coming to help. I see them on the other side of the bridge. I know this dragon will be more than we can handle at this point so I decide I have to take it down myself. I leave the grapple, again thank you dice gods, with minimal damage taken and ask our cleric to give me strength and the blessing of Pelor (at this point I have saved him 2 so he feels he owes me, and rp how he would justify this move to the dm). Anyway, I get the extra buffs from the cleric. I am now an enormous goliath wielding a giant battle axe facing off with a big dragon.
I tell my party to not come help me, I will take care of this. I raise my axe over my head, let out a bellowing yell of rage and smash it down onto the bridge, destroying the bridge. Luckily I had hit it hard enough that a piece of the battlement had fallen of and o top of the dragon.

We are now both falling into the ravine. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. The bridge is over a "bottomless" ravine. I roll a few more good dice, and I push myself of one of the falling rock, towards the dragon. Then, of course, I grapple it again. We both fall to our deaths in a writhing, screaming, roaring and glorious ball of death.

Hello, I am a relatively new player in D&D (been part of 3 campaigns) and I decided to try out Pathfinder. I am in the middle of the character creation and I would like some help with picking the correct feats and weapons (and also some guidance on magical weapons).

My character so far looks like this:
Lvl 9 elf, 5 Samurai/4 Bogyu, Order of the warrior.
Str 12, Dex 19, Con 10, Int 16, Wis 11, Char 12.
I am planning on using an Oathbow if my DM allows it.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
