I don't see anything glaring, except in languages, you just have one labeled Ancient. Not sure what that is, but probably just something that didn't get fully ported over from hero lab.

Looks like a well balanced build to me. S.T.O.I.C. (nice name, just noticed!) would be welcome to any of my tables.

Are you doing some kind of dervish switch hitter build? Looks fun!

Yes dervish dance, I know STR is a 14 but at lease I can carry a load if needed. I might drop down the STR to a 12, to increase the INT to a 13 and CHA to a 12?

I don't see the need for Charisma on a Ranger type. 10 is adequate.

I have some changes needed looked at. Please review

Ok here is a feat tree I am pondering for my ranger.

Feat tree: Ranger Urban
1st Weapon finesse
2nd Ranger Combat Style Feat – Mounted Combat
3rd Dervish Dance
5th Combat Expertise

7th Boon Companion
9th Improve Disarm
10th Ranger Combat Style Feat – (still Pondering)
11th Agile Maneuvers
13th Improve Dirty Trick
14th Ranger Combat Style Feat – (still Pondering)
15th Teamwork Feat – Outflank (wolf also)
17th Bodyguard

What changes should I need to change here?


The campaign more or less tops out around 12. If you really want something in PFS, get it before then.

Liberty's Edge

I would recommend getting the Unscathed trait, because it'll increase all of your elemental resistances to 7. Really good trait for Teiflings.

There are no stats for a dire wolf animal companion that are PFS legal, and in order to have the Worg animal companion you need to be True Neutral and take the feat Monstrous Mount.

There may not be stats for a dire wolf, but a wolf companion eventually becomes large sized, much like a dire wolf.

I personally would spend so much money for a longbow with starting gold. At most I'd buy a short bow, leaves some more money for gear, I particularly like to have some alch weapons such as Alch fire or acid flasks incase of swarms.

ok, please show me where you come up with I need to be true neutral?

You have learned how to tame and ride exotic beasts.

Prerequisite(s): Handle Animal 4 ranks; Ride 4 ranks; divine bond (mount), hunter's bond (animal companion), or mount class feature with an effective druid level of 4.

Benefit(s): You can select an exotic beast from the list of monstrous mounts to serve as your animal companion or special mount. You acquire and advance this creature in the same way as the mount or animal companion detailed in the class feature used as a prerequisite for this feat. You can also dismiss the creature as dictated by your class feature.

You must meet additional prerequisites to choose a creature with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher, as described in each creature's entry.

At the begining of the worg entry it says this.

Quote:
Prerequisite(s): Alignment within one step of neutral evil.

True Neutral is the only pfs legal alignment that meets that requirement.

Keep in mind most PFS are close quarters so go Shortbow.

So Chaotic Neutral is out of the question?

Then I am force to a Basic Wolf.

Also, don't forget that you can sell stuff back for full gold when retraining at first level.

First game:
Buy short bow

Second game
Sell back short bow,
Buy long bow

At the end of third game
sell back long bow.
spend 2 Prestige to get:
Masterwork +2 str bonus Composite Darkwood (or green wood) longbow


Keep in mind the wolf will (probably) grow to large once you hit level 7. So having a dire wolf pup thats slowly growing is probably the best explanation for how a 100 pound animal winds up bigger than a bear.

No matter the situation is the hatters will not allow me to even touch the alone the Dire part.

SO, I have this feat in the 7th level slot "Boon Companion". This way I get my companion be the same level as I. So the wolf becomes large size, instead of wait until 10th level.

The plan is

Flame of the Dawnflower +2 damage with a scimitar on a critical hit.
Use the Wolf as a Mount. use the trip ability with the wolf. Then i do all my damage while the enemy is prone on the ground.

Since most PFS is close quaters so longbow is not going to be useful in the picture.
