Vivisectionist Build


Advice


Ok really thinking about building a Vivsicetionist for an upcoming campaign and I need a little help. Here is what I have so far:

starting at 4th level

Half Orc: I intend to use a Great Axe because I love the thought of sneak attack with a great axe.

I rolled well:
Str 18 (+2 racial already added in)
Dex 14
Con 16
Wis 15
Int 16
Cha 12

Should I go ahead and add the point from leveling to Wis to shore up the weak will save, or go str all the way?

trading orc ferocity for sacred tatoo (+1 saves is great especially with bad will save)

Traits: Indomitable Faith (+1 wil saves) any suggestions for the second (maybe reactionary, +2 intitive)?

Feats:

1st Iron Will (or should I take Toughness)
3rd Power Attack

I'm not really sure what to take for my discoveries. Feral Mutegen seems like a no brainer, so that is going to be my first one, but what about my second. I kinda like Preserve Organs, Light Fortification is nothing to sneeze at.

Also any input on the Ragechemist from UC? Looks like it could be a good fit too.
Any help or comments is greatly appreciated.


For the second trait, you could take Dirty Fighter (+1 damage when flanking, multiplies in a critical hit).

Personally, I think Indomitable Faith + Iron Will + Sacred Tatto + +2 Wisdom bonus is a bit over-compensatory for the low will save, but that's certainly your call.

For discoveries, Spontaneous Healing could be pretty useful. I tend to try and take Infusion, otherwise I feel a bit selfish. Tentacle/Vestigial Arm can be a nice way to always have a potion/extract on hand whilst remaining armed.


I would not give up orc ferocity for that tattoo option, it's to valuable to have that standard action in my opinion. Rather invest in items, buffs or take the improved iron will feat if you are that much worried about it :-)
