This thread is a combination of a brainstorm on my part and a request for advice and criticism.
I'm playing with rolled stats which can't be rearranged. They are as follows before racial adjustments:
18 Str
8 Dex
16 Int
15 Con
8 Wis
11 Cha
I'm thinking about making a sword and board Slayer with two-weapon fighting to improve defensively while maintaining good offense.
First off, is there anything that prevents a Slayer from taking and using Heavy Armor Proficiency? I didn't see anything in the build that stated that, and even the ranger style talents say you're just picking a feat from that style.
I'm probably going to go human for the extra feat. Not sure whether the +2 will be best in Dex or Wis.
I'm not sure whether a scimitar with a light shield or a kukri with a heavy shield is better. I'm leaning towards the heavy shield/kukri.
Stealth is a big part of the slayer, but between low dex and high ACPs, I'm not sure it's feasable. That said, if I take the armor expert trait and have both mithral fullplate and a mithral heavy shield I'll only be at -2 from ACP. Adding stealth and then greater stealth enchantments on my armor might actually make it usable.
Here's the rough sketch of the build. Many feats and Talents still open.
Traits: Armor Expert, Chance Encounter(Campaign)
Feats:
1: Heavy Armor Proficiency, Improved Shield Bash
2: Slayer Talent (Ranger Combat Style[Two-Weapon Fighting])
3: Power Attack
4: Slayer Talent
5: Iron Will?
6: Slayer Talent (Ranger Combat Style[Double Slice or Imp. Two-weapon fighting])
7: Shield Slam
8: Slayer Talent (Combat Trick[Improved Critical(Scimitar or Kukri)])
9: Shield Master
10: Slayer Talent (Ranger Combat Style[Two-Weapon Rend])
11: Bashing Finish
12: Slayer Talent (Opportunist)
13: feat
14: Slayer Talent
15: feat
16: Slayer Talent
17: feat
18: Slayer Talent
19: feat
20: Slayer Talent
I could use mythic path/tier/ability advice too.
I'm thinking trickster dual-pathed into Champion or Guardian. I'm not yet familiar enough with mythic abilities to determine this one yet.
