My Zen Archer Monk 4 / Menhir Savant Druid (Eagle Domain) 3 just gained his third level of druid (CL 7) and now I need to pick a feat.
There are a bunch of feats I would like to take in the future for him - Shaping Focus, Natural Spell, Wild Speech perhaps Eschew Materials but as I understand things he can't take feats that have the Wild Shape prerequisite until his character level in a class that grants Wild Shape (i.e. Druid) is high enough - so in my case that won't be until he is CL 9 (likely Monk 4/ Duid 5) at which point taking Shaping Focus seems like the way to go - boosting his Wild Shape from limited utility once a day to extreme utility, melee power and flexibility many times a day.
Sure w/o Natural Spell he won't be casting spells and as a Zen Archer he can't even flurry with his unarmed strike to take full advantage of any STR boosts from shapes he assumes - but this should give him even more flexibility and functionality in combat - combined with the new Ultimate Equipment "adaptable" bow enhancement option (allows a composite bow to adjust magically to your STR level w/o penalties and with the option for applying lower damage should you choose to do that).
He already has a TON of combat feats for his archery thanks to being a Zen Archer - weapon focus (longbow), Perfect Strike (w/bow), Deadly Aim, Point Blank Mastery, Point-blank shot, Precise Shot plus Improved Unarmed Strike from being a monk, Skill Focus (Perception) from being a half-elf. Improved Initiative and Dodge (his 1st & 3rd regular feats).
So I don't think there are any more archery feats he can take at this level (his BAB will just be 5) - if he takes two more Monk levels I'll take Improved Precise Shot then.
At Level 9 (assuming Druid 5 then) I'll take Shaping Focus
At Level 11 (possibly Monk 6 but likely Druid 7) I'll probably take Natural Spell (though Wild Speech might also be useful) - if I take 2 levels of Monk I'll get Improved Precise Shot as a Monk bonus feat) and will get Weapon Specialization (Longbow) as a Zen Archer bonus - plus the nice goodies of a 6th level monk. Which will be quite a boost to the damage of his flurries w/bows so probably I'd invest the level 11 feat into improving his Wild Shaping still further.
As a multiclassed character he is a utility caster - not a primary caster and the Menhir Savant "place magic" ability helps him slight (9x a day free action +1 to Caster Level for a round). Shaping Focus seems like it will equalize his Wild Shape ability to a pure Druid of his character level which is a pretty potent boost for a single feat - though w/o Natural Spell etc he won't be doing much in his wild shape forms but movement - though notably at Druid level 6 his Eagle Domain 2nd power kicks in - granting him Evasion while flying - making maintaining a flying wild shape form fairly useful.
So at the moment i was thinking about taking Toughness as his 7th level feat - if I also buy a Belt of Might Constitution this would mean in gaining character level 7 his HP goes from 40 to 60 in one single level bump - and that each later level his HP will go up by 9 - that seems useful since he increasingly takes on a front line melee role and while his saves are high he doesn't have evasion like a regular monk.
But is there some other feat(s) I should consider? That would help him at level 7 but also prepare him further for the future?
This is for PFS play so feats like Leadership aren't available.
