Suggestions for buffs:

Higher Intelligence? I do have a degree in a scientific field.
I’d say higher strength - I’m 6ft 3 and can throw a bed when annoyed - but with the Giant template it’s already obscene.
Exotic Weapon proficiency with a Dadao. I guess the closest in Pathfinder would be a Bastard Sword, since it’s a two handed weapon that can be used one handed.
More wisdom would be nice. It might be debatable…
More charisma would be good too. I'm actually a pretty solid public speaker, and manage to handle drunk people at 2am.
