Help with slayer build


Advice


I am going to a con this weekend for a full day of pathfinder play. Just got the new class book and really like the Idea of a slayer. I've been looking through the advice forums and can't really find anything showing a PFS slayer build. Has anyone a good idea as to what a good build what look like. Wanting to run a human with 2 hand fighting style. But, I would like to know if archery is a viable or better option.


You can build your Slayer like a Ranger, more or less.


for slayer i would go twf with high crit weapons, dumped dex, full str.

pick up trapfinding at lvl2 or 4 , and you are a much more combat oriented rogue.

i wouldn't go full on combat mode. you have 6+int skills, you can easily get trapfinding, you can hide without needing concealment, you can assasinate without being evil.

picking just the 3 ranger combat styles and a favorite terrain or two for slayer camouflage later on is all you need (alongside studied target flat bonuses) to kill things, you also have full bab.


So go low dex? Doesn't 2 twf need high dex?

Slayers can bypass the Dex requirement for TWF, in the same way as the ranger class.


So would a Str 16, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 8, for a human slayer be a good choice for stats, Also which feats should he start with? Sorry for such beginner questions but this is my 2nd character I have made and the first a friend helped me with.


I just started a slayer in PFS last night. My thought process is at being a two handed weapon primary with thrown weapons for backup. Str 19, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 7, Wis 14, Cha 7 seems to be working fine, but my concept was more big stupid fighter than stealth assassin.


Should I just start with TWF and just add a ranger combat feat at lvl 2?
Still not sure which feats to start with for level 1.
