Edit: Updated

Hi guys. I'm fairly new here; been around the moment I got my hands on Rise of the Rune Lords; mostly to check on FAQs and add-on content. I've decided to contribute some ideas to the community because I largely love brainstorming stuff.

In any case, I'd like to lay out my design philosophy on this character. After playing through Adventures 1 to 4, I've largely noticed that you can get through the whole/most of the adventure path by just adding skill feats to your primary combat feat. Secondary feats and constitution went largely ignored and the reason to branch out in building your character was somewhat of an illusion. I chose to give more meaning to secondary feats through synergy with power feats; akin to Sajan Drunken Master Fortitude check to recharge a boon with the Liquid trait.

NOTE: I have yet to actually play test the character. I will eventually. The largest concern I foresee with integrating skill checks on power feat is how much it would interrupt the flow of the game. I would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Without further ado:
