I am considering making this character for Pathfinder Society:

Human Ranger (Skrimisher)
Str 16(+2 racial), Dex 15, Con 14, Int 13, Wis 10, Cha 10

Two-Weapon Fighting Style

1 - Improved Shield Bash, Two-Weapon fighting
2 - Double Slice
3 - Combat Expertise, Endurance
4 -
5 - Improved Trip, Hunter's Trick: Upending Strike
6 - Improved Two Weapon Fighting
7 - Fury's Fall, Hunter's Trick: Hobbling Attack
8 -
9 - Shield Slam, Hunter's Trick: Tangling Attack
10 - Two-Weapon Rend
11 - Bashing Finish, Hunter's Trick: Deft Stand
12 -

His main focus is getting into melee and tying up anyone who comes near him. Looking for any advice on how to improve this build. I was considering pulling out double slice in lieu of combat reflexes in order to be able to control the area around me more. Thanks

I'd drop some Charisma for Wisdom. Say, to 8 and 12, respectively. Ranger spells are actually quite cool, and with a 12, you can get most of them. Get a basic +2 Wis boost headband and you can get all of them.

Would be nice but for the skirmisher archetype you give up spells, although I had considered this change already since it would increase the number of times I could use Hunter's Tricks. Skirmisher is the Warrior of the Holy Light for Rangers.

D'oh! Forgot to check the Archetype.

Mechanically, trading Chr for Wis is still good (for the Will Save and Hunter's Tricks), but obviously not as big a deal.

Doesn't Bashing Finish require Shield Master? Other than that I would definately drop Double Slice for Combat Reflexes and take Greater Trip (instead of Shield Slam... and in fact before Fury's Fall).
