I'm building my first PFS character and I tried a Skald for one session and didn't really enjoy it. I noticed the Starry Grace feat and fell in love with the concept of a Varisian Swashbuckler that used to work on a pirate ship until he found out the ship was transporting humans (yeah kind of Jack Sparrow-ish) and he lead a mutiny and got rescued from being adrift at sea and now works with Liberty's Edge to free slaves and potentially get back at his former captain. I mainly have a lot of questions about feat interactions. I guess we start off with stats.
Alezandaru (Al) Human (Varisian) CG worships Desna
Lvl 1 Swashbuckler (Flying Blade)
STR 10
DEX 19
CON 12
INT 10
WIS 10
CHA 14
Feats as planned:
Lvl 1: Swashbuckler's Finesse, Weapon Focus (Starknife), Starry Grace
Lvl 3: Point Blank Shot
Lvl 4: Precise Shot
Lvl 5: Startoss Style
Lvl 7: Startoss Comet
Attacks:
Level 1
Melee Starknife +6 1d4+4
Ranged 20ft Starknife +6 1d4+4
Level 7
Melee Starknife +14 1d4+17
Ranged 30ft Starknife +15 1d4+18
Questions:
1. Can I use a buckler with Starry Grace?
I think so because Slashing Grace but just want to make sure.
2. Startoss Style just says you have to use a weapons from the thrown weapon group. Do you get the +2 bonus to dmg with Starknives on a melee attack? It seems to work on RAW but I'm not sure it's RAI.
3. You can't stack same type damage but there is a lot of untyped bonus damage you can get does it all stack? At level 7 with 20 Dex you're looking at attacks like ranged 30ft Starknife +15 (BAB 7 + Dex 5 + 1 Weapon Focus + 1 Point Blank Shot +1 Flying Blade Training) (1d4 + 18(5 Starry Grace, 4 Startoss Style/Comet, +7 Precise Throw + 1 Point Blank Shot + 1 Flying Blade Training))
4. Do Precise Strike and Point Blank Shot's damage bonuses only add to the first attack during Startoss Comet? I'd assume you only get the Starry Grace, Flying Blade Training and Startoss damage bonuses on the second attack.
5. Startoss Comet says you make a second attack within one range increment of the first target. It doesn't say with the same weapon, I understand that's what is intended but I don't know if some GM's will tell me I have to throw 2 Starknives.
6. If I were to take Startoss Shower at level 8 it says "You can make a maximum number of attacks equal to 1 + 1 per 5 points of base attack bonus you possess" is that total or you can make that many additional attack after the first bounce?
Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to show up to a session as a new player and be a headache for a GM, also if the build doesn't really work this way I don't want to take it past level 1.
