Class advice: Holy Tactician / Musket Master


Advice


Hello my friends, I have allllll the questions this month it seems.

This time I come looking for some advice on a particular build that I'm thinking of. Currently I have a 4th level musket master that is going to be primarily a support/debuff/control character and have to make some decisions on level progression.

Thus far I've been very conflicted on how to maintain a semblance of support/control on this character but I think that what I've come up with will be of some use to me and the party in the long run.

The idea is to take Musket Master to 5th and then take 3 levels of Holy Tactician (capping out at 8th level until the next milestone). I want to know if there would be any real repercussions to doing this? My understanding/opinion is that gunslingers are not usually to amazing past 11th level and that dipping into fighter at that point is usually going to be more beneficial, however, given my desire for battlefield control (or a degree of it) and some debuff/buff capabilities I thought that Holy Tactician would be somewhat useful.

This is what I have worked out in regards to a build:

LvL8 (Human Musket Master 5, Holy Tactician 3)
HP65

STR: 8
DEX: 24
CON: 10
INT: 10
WIS: 16
CHA: 17

AC: 30

FORT: 11
REFL: 18
WILL: 10

ATTACK: +15/+15/10 +1 Merciful Musket (1D12+1D6+7[+6+1])

FEATS:
Point-Blank Shot
Precise Shot
Rapid Reload: Musket
Rapid Shot
Deadly Aim
Toughness
Teamwork: Escape Route
Teamwork: Outflank

As you can see the focus is on making it so that I can give EVERYONE teamwork feats and change them on the fly as I see fit (giving a better to hit bonus and making them not provoke attacks of opportunity).

After all of this the next cap stone will be 12th level (or at least where our next big encounter will be) and the idea for that is to go Musket Master 9, Holy Tactician 3 which will get me more access to a few extra gunslinger deeds and abilities. Finally the 16th level milestone will look like this Musket Master 11, Holy Tactician 3, Fighter (archetype maybe) 1 [with dueling gloves for +3/+3).

Can anyone see anything about this that would cause me any real setbacks? I can't see losing out on anything stopping at 5th for now then following my gunslinger levels through to 8th and then to 11th with one level of Holy Tactician.

Thoughts and opinions?
