Cleric Herald Caller build

Goodmorning everyone!!

I would like some opinions on how I'm building my character, I'm not intesested that he is the stronger but I would love it to be efficient.
My Class is a cleric Herlad caller with animal domain and with the racial traits it gets +2 dex / +2 wis / -2 int .
We start with 15 ability score plus 1d5(I do not know where the DM found it) so minumum is 16.

I was thinking of something like that:

16 point 17 point 18 point 19point 20 point

str 10
dex 14+2 15+2 16+2 16+2 16+2
cos 14
int 10-2
wis 18+2
cha 10 11 12

feat:
1° weapon finesse
3° Dervish Dance
4° bonus Augment Summoning
5° Boon Companion

We start at level one, but in short time we showld reach the fifth level then progression will be slower.
High wisdom to have more spell al lower levels and for DC, and weapon finesse + dervish dance for damage and guarantee if I finish spells also because in team there isn't a pure melee.

Thank you all and forgive if there are grammatical errors.

Dervish Dance means you worship Sarenrae. She doesn't provide the Animal domain though. If you're using homebrewed deities, never mind.

Otherwise this looks OK to me.

I forgot to specify it, I have no god,follow the concept of animal power and DM let me choose my favored weapon if it is justified by the background.

If you are wanting to go with the Animal Domain, and a high Dex Summoning Specialist, might I suggest looking at Erastil and going with your main melee weapon as a Longspear.

It's a Simple Weapon that has reach, which you can use to maximize your effectiveness.

Combat Reflexes is a must, and the general idea is that you will not be going out to attack. Instead, you move up towards the middle of the combat, hope to force enemies to come to or through you, and cast your spells. Your damage comes from enemies drawing AoOs from your Reach, or once you have moved in cast a spell or two, you can then more easily go in to help provide Flanking.

The added benefit of going with Erastil is that you also get a free Longbow Proficiency as well, which is likewise pretty ideal for you, because this means you can also stay back and provide buffing and healing, attack from safety, and send out your Summoned Pets to deal damage.

All in all, and this is just a suggestion, I'd consider looking at:
1.) Combat Reflexes
3.) Sacred Summons
4.) Augment Summoning (bonus)
5.) Boon Companion (if you want. It's not a HUGE boost but is nice) or Improved Initiative.

Sacred Summons is nice, but will not really come online until you get 3rd - 5th Level Summoning Spells. Also, don't confuse the wording. "Whose alignment subtype or subtypes exactly match your aura" means only those creatures that normally have an Alignment Subtype, not an alignment, and not the Spell's Alignment Subtype. Your Aura is the components of your Alignment that match your Deity's Alignment. Erastil is LG. If your character is also LG, than your Cleric has both a Lawful and a Good auras.

That means with Sacred Summons you can Summon all Archons as a Standard Action, and normally the first Archon on your list is the 3rd level Spell for Lantern Archons, which can be amazing.

Something else you may want to consider, especially when thinking about building a summoner, is making sure you don't annoy the rest of the party. By 4th Level, you are going to have your character, your Animal Companion, and also be Summoning. That's 3 actions you get to take every turn, and it can both start to slow down combats and also make other players AND DM's start loosing interest.

Thanks for the tips!!!!

I agree with DM Beckett that you have many things to control on your turn. Print statlines for your favourite summons for easy reference during sessions (This tool helps out)

If you focus on summons, high WIS isn't a necessity (since DC's won't matter). So perhaps you can lower that and invest more in physical stats. At low levels, your summons won't do much, so melee / archery is a good way to contribute.

I made a very similar character recently, see here if you're interested. Only that character was made straight to level 11 so I didn't bother with any melee capability.

Thanks for the tips!!!!

No problem.

My suggestion for a herald caller, the archetype makes you better at summoning and weaker in melee, you lose armor and weapon proficientcies. Concentrate on the summons and try to avoid melee. Perhaps eschew weapon finesse and use missile weapons if you don't have a spell to cast.

There is a thread called "All the Summon Monster / Nature's Ally Tricks" which may help.

Consider the feather sub-domain as I think the level 1 power is much better.

If you are allowed to retrain feats take superior summons at level 5 and retrain it at level 8 when you get it as a bonus.

Summon good/evil/ neutral monster will give you more options suitable for sacred summons.
