Shieldmarshall for PFS, needs some help esp. with pre-req.


Advice


I am considering playing a gunslinger for PFS, and then came across the Shieldmarshal, which sounds really nice.
My thoughts were going like this:

Human Gunslinger (Musket Master) 5 / Urban Barbarian 1 / Shieldmarshal
Ability Scores: Str 10, Dex 18, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 8

Traits: Dangerously curious
Called

Feats
1 Point Blank Shot, Rapid Reload (bonus), Precise Shot
3 Rapid Shot
4 Deadly aim
5 Quickdraw
7th Weapon focus
9th : Snap shot
11th: Improved snap shot

One prereq is: proficiency with at least two firearms
as he is proficient with blunderbuss and musket is this suffiecient, or does he need to be proficient with one-handed fire-arms?
You could get it via a Opalescent White ioun stone - but do I need the normal one, or is the cracked sufficient?

If it says two firearms, it seems like the blunderbuss and musket cover it. If not, see if you can mix some archetypes to get the proficiencies you need.

You should be good on the proficiency requirement.

However, Snap Shot isn't going to be terribly useful without Combat Reflexes. You might need a 1-level dip in fighter to pick up the extra bonus feat.


Just looked at it, maybe a 2-lvl dip into lorewarden, and take the urban barbarian away. And I can leave INT at 12, or maybe drop it to even 10, as I don't need the pre-req for combat expertise anymore? STR at 10 is quite low when carrying a gun, and using mithril shirt.
This would mean:
Str 12, Dex 18, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 14, Cha 8
Musket master 5 / Lore warden 2 / Shieldmarshal 4

Feats
1 Point Blank Shot, Rapid Reload (bonus), Precise Shot
3 Rapid Shot
4 Deadly aim
5 Weapon focus
6 Snap shot
7 Combat Expertise & Quickdraw
9th : Improved snap shot
11th: Combat reflexes

How is Combat Expertise helping this build? It's Combat Reflexes you need to get more AoOs.


Sigh mixed them up, is there any other class which would be the best archetype then? Lorewarden is still nice for the skill points, any other good archetype?

Feats
1 Point Blank Shot, Rapid Reload (bonus), Precise Shot
3 Rapid Shot
4 Deadly aim
5 Weapon focus
6 Snap shot
7 Combat Expertise & Quickdraw & Combat reflexes
9th : Improved snap shot
11th: Improved precise shot
