The Kata Mouser of Many Styles


Advice


Hey there, I'm building a PFS character that I've had on my mind for a while now, and I was looking for suggestions now that I've got all the parts I need. This build is for a halfling with the Mouser Swashbuckler archetype and the Kata Master and Master of Many Styles Monk archetypes who uses style feats to protect his allies and thwart his enemies.

-

Here's what I've got so far:

Stats after 20PB and racial adjustments: STR: 6 DEX: 20 CON: 12 INT: 7 WIS: 14 CHA: 14
(I'll need to pick up an Agile Amulet of Mighty Fists ASAP)

Feat Progression
Swashbuckler (Mouser) 1 / Monk (Master of Many Styles, Kata Master) 10
Lvl 1: Combat Reflexes
Lvl 2: Bonus: Archon Style
Lvl 3: Bodyguard, Bonus: Archon Diversion
Lvl 5: Monkey Style
Lvl 7: Dodge, Bonus: Monkey Shine
Lvl 9: Crane Style
Lvl 11: Crane Wing, Bonus: Archon Justice

There's a lot of synergy between the feats and features here, so if you have any questions about the build and how it works, please ask! I'd love some suggestions and opinions before I try to take this build off the ground.

Edit: Switched up a feat since I realised Crane Riposte would be pointless on this build.

I'd go with panther style instead of crane style for this build. Your build is already geared toward having attacks miss you, so you might as well get bonus attacks out of the deal.


Panther style only works when I provoke an AoO from moving through an adjacent opponent's threatened squares (which is worsened by the fact that they can choose not to). I'm not sure what benefit I'd get from that over the AC bonus from Crane Style, could you explain?

Couldn't you also add monk of the iron mountain to this? Or are you worried about loosing evasion?

Additionally you could take the trait Helpful then the Aid Another would give them a +4 AC bonus until the rest of the build kicked in.
