So, a while back someone got me interested in the idea of using a familiar in combat using beast-bonded witch 1/fighter X, and giving all the combat feats to the familiar. It's not a good idea sure, but it's something to pass the time.
This got me thinking about other ways to use familiars in combat, and that brought me to the following combo
1. Be a half-orc, for the weapon proficiency. (another possibility is half-elf, I suppose).
2. Be a beast-bonded witch, so you can transfer feats to your familiar.
3. Get a goat familiar. For a familiar, they have high Strength.
4. Take the Strength patron, for the spells.
5. Have the goat be a valet, to share teamwork feats.
Now, at 14th level, in combat, do the following
a) cast giant form I.
b) cast divine power.
c) cast transformation.
So, you can go to town as an axe-wielding giant witch. That's pretty neat.
5. Take Improved Share Spells and give a weapon proficiency feat to your goat.
Now you and your goat turn into axe-wielding maniac witch giants. woo-hoo!
Here's a feat load-out so far
1st ???
3rd ???
5th ???
7th ???
9th ???
11th Improved Share Spells
13th Martial Weapon Proficiency (greataxe) (given to goat familiar).
So, two questions
1. What are some good feats, teamwork feats, or goat-only feats that would make this combo even 'better'?
2. What are some good hexes to have while under the effects of transformation? The spell's limitation (no spellcasting) does not apply to hexes!
Please, do not mention scarred witch doctor. Yes, it's really good, and yes, you can take both scarred witch doctor and beast-bonded witch, and if you get a familiar from a separate source (say Eldritch Heritage (arcane)), then you can use that with all the beast-bonded witch goodies. It just seems cheesy, is all.
