Hallo, I wanted to make a tank build with high AC and options to stall the enemy, like a trip build, or help others, Aid Another. What came out is this.

Oread

Phalanx Soldier 3 / Yojimbo 8(Order of the Shield)

Str 18
Dex 14
Con 16
Int 10
Wis 12
Cha 6

Both points to Dex

Lucerne Hammer
Full Plate
Tower Shield

Racial traits
Crystalline Form
Granite Skin
Treacherous Earth

Traits
Defender of the Society
+1 Will

Feats
1:Dwarfen Blooded
Shield Focus (Fighter Bonus Feat)
2:Mobile Bulwark Style (Fighter Bonus Feat)
3:Weapon Focus
5:Mobile Fortress
7:Vital Strike
9:Combat Reflexes
Power Attack (Samurai Bonus Feat)
11Improved Vital Strike

Without enchantments and items. So the basic idea is to first charge into the enemys and after that use my Tower shield and the Yojimbo skill to provide AC while use Vital Strike.
How can this build be improved, I find the attack rolls and damage lacking.

Hallo, I seek clarification for this feat

Channeling Force (Combat)

You distill your channeled energy into a sheen of force that surrounds your weapon for a limited time.

Prerequisite(s): Ability to cast at least one force spell, channel energy class feature.

Benefit: A swift action, you can expend one use of channel energy to grant your weapon attacks a bonus on damage rolls equal to the number of dice of your channel energy. This extra damage is force damage. This lasts for your next three weapon attacks or until the end of combat, whichever comes first.

My question: Must the PC prepare a force spell or needs he only to know a spell?

Does an Amulet of Mighty Fist +5 and the Bane Bladric give me an enchantment bonus of +7 for these 5 rounds?

As Oread I try for a tank concept with tower shield and reach weapon.
Oread for +Str/Wis and racial traits +NA and +2 against rays. One trait will be Defender of the society the other don't know. With the feat dwarfen blooded I also get the normal movement speed.
3 level Phalanx Soldier for the shield and polearm option and the rest Samurai archtyp Yojimbo. The weapon of choice is a naginata and a tower shield, armor full plate.
For the tower shield to be useful the style feat Mobile Bulwark Style and Mobile Fortress. Till level 5 my plan is
1: Shield Focus, Dwarfen Blooded
2: Mobile Bulwark
3: Weapon Focus
4: -
5: Mobile Fortress

And now my problem is damage. With Full Plate, Tower Shield, feats and traits gone in AC, the enemy go around me to attack those that done high damage.

So please advices for stats, feat progression and samurai order.

I am brand new to PFS and reading to the great beginner´s guides, i come up with this idea. A torch attach with flint, a string or some glue, you need only hit some armor/metal or attach the steel on the other arm. It would probably not allowed or it needs a DEX check against xxDC, but thats its GM decision. Hope for some improvements.
