URGENT help needed! What Feats should a Gnome Master Summoner take?

[Secane]

Hi, I need some help fast. My game starts in 3 hrs and I need to confirm my character, specifically what Feats to take (as he levels up.)

Lv 2 Gnome Master Summoner
20 point buy

Current stats with Racial:

Str 8
Dex 14
Con 16
Int 14
Wis 10
Cha 16

Stats are not min/maxed and are as they are for character/setting reasons.

What FEATS should I get? PLEASE advice!
Thank you!

not to sure, improved initiative?

also your 20 point buy is actually 17 points

Str 8 (10-2)
Dex 12 2pts
Con 16 (14+2)5pts
Int 14 5pts
Wis 10
Cha 16 (14+2)5pts

so if you boost your dex up to 14 you'd be at 20 points

Oops! Ya it should be 14 not 12. Thanks for pointing that out.

I am thinking of Improved Initiative, getting the first strike on monsters with my summons is one of the ideals I am going for.

I do notice that people are also recommending taking Spell Focus Conjuration. But with only 16 in cha, should/do I even need a high DC in my summoner spells?

Most of the summoner spells that I am eyeing seems to be buff spells and those can care less if you have a high DC or not... should even bother with Spell Focus?

Extend spell, improved initiative, combat casting. Toughness or extra summons perhaps.

Start with improved initiative, I think. Initiative is big.

edit: Oh, you get augment summons for free. Derp. Skip spell focus.

[Cheapy]

You don't need Spell Focus Conj. You get Augment Summons for free.

Grab improved init, or Go Unnoticed.

I have to agree with the above posters with Improved Init. It's a solid choice.

[Thalin]

I'd just go with Iron Will, boring as it is. Getting knocked unconscious is bad for a master summoner.

3rd Superior Summons is the no-brainer choice; Summon Moster 2 is best as d3 riding dogs, may as well make it d3+1. Plus, not having it implies you're an inferior summoner, and who wants that?

Intimidating Prowess. : P

Ok fine, Improved Initiative. Though Iron Will or Toughness is always good. I also agree with Superior Summoning.

Skill Focus: Profession (cobbler)

Or... Improved Initiative.
