Just a Cowboy - Weird Mounted Net / Lance Build Idea (PFS)

[LibraryRPGamer]

Hi Everyone,

I have a PFS character idea that is a “take them alive”-type mounted Blackjacket of Druma – a net/lance wielding debt collector that rides a camel.

The idea here is to:
1st round – Camel spits, foe is sickened (-2 everything, 1d4 rounds); Dragoon does net attack (-4 Dex, -2 AC)
2nd round – attack/charge with a lance (w/ enemy at -6 AC/CMB)
Enemy’s turn – 3 AoOs or negate 4 attacks to the camel

Also, the “tow rope” for the net will be always tied to the camel – forgoing the need for the Net and Trident Feat.

I’d like to go fighter and either half orc or human for this build.

I’m not sure how net focused I want to be – Net’s are rather useless beyond level 5 because monsters start getting freedom of movement. And, I would only want the net adept feat anyways.

Also, I’d rather go Roughrider than Dragoon as the former would be better for the combats when being mounted isn’t possible. If I go roughrider, and take the Shield Ally feats, do I need a full Animal Companion, or, are those feats enough to keep the animal alive?

Spirit of the Waters Elf, or Half-Elf, can get Net proficiency at first level.

Cracked Opalescent White Pyramid Ioun Stone is 1,500 gp, and solves the issue of proficiency issue as well.
