I'm going to be playing a Daring Champion Cavalier in PFS soon (probably starting this week) so I'm looking for advice on ways to go with the build.
The current level 1 build is as follows:
Race: Human
Str 13
Dex 19 (Including Human +2)
Con 13
Int 7
Wis 11
Chr 14
Feats: Weapon Focus[Longsword], Slashing Grace[Longsword], Precise Strike
Traits: Reactionary, Captain's Blade[Acrobatics]
This means an attack with a Longsword at +7, 1d8+18 at Level 4 with Challenge, Precise Strike and Power Attack. (or +9, 1d8+1d6+17 if flanking with Precise Strike)
...
I plan on taking the following progression, but this is where I'm looking for suggestions for alternate routes or ideas:
Lvl 2 Feat - Dazzling Display (Bonus)
Lvl 3 Feat - Power Attack
Lvl 4 Stat - Dex
From there I don't really know where to go. I am tentatively planned to go with Shatter Defenses, Cornugon Smash, and Disheartening Display at some point. Combat Reflexes and Extra Panache would help too with using Parry/Riposte more often too.
Note that I'd rather not dip another class unless it's extremely beneficial because I'd lose 2 damage/lvl total from Precise strike and Challenge.
Also, how would one use the banner without being able to attach it to a mount? I assume I'd have to carry it in my off hand, but that would be an interesting thing to have to constantly walk around with.
