So, after some reshuffle of my party members, we had too many divines so I chose to move away from my melee druid into a slayer.
Here's my idea -- I got some seriously good rolls for stats (17 17 14 14 11 10), so I don't mind taking the hit for strength. I'll get Clever Wordplay to have a good Bluff bonus in spite of dumping CHA.
But the draw for me is picking the Besmara-favored combat style. I think it fits with the AP (Skulls + Shackles), and it has some interesting feats... getting Improved/Greater Feint without having to take Combat Expertise sounds pretty great, Critical Focus as a CSF frees up some of my feat slots too.
Now, for the life of me, I can't find a way to reduce feint to a swift action without having to take Combat Expertise. Moonlit Stalker Feint requires Combat Expertise. Passing Trick is an option, and I don't mind spending the feats to get Mobility and Dodge... but it also requires Combat Expertise!!! I'm starting to think I'll just have to bite the bullet.
Anyway, here's my build plan:
1. Power Attack
2. CSF: Imp. Feint
3. Furious Focus
4. Weapon Training (Cutlass)
5. Iron Will
6. CSF: Greater Feint
7. Dodge
8. Combat Trick: Mobility
9. Imp. Critical
10. CSF: Critical Focus
11. Extra Slayer Talent: Assassinate
12. Evasion
13. ???
Bumping.
I think Imma use my stats as follows:
STR 15 (17-2), DEX 18 (14+4), CON 17, INT 14, WIS 11, CHA 8
A little worried about my Will saves, I gotta say... I think I'll put my 8th level bump into Wisdom?
Or should I convince my GM to let me take a feat like Tribal Scars to bump my Will by +1?
Anyway, for late game, Passing Trick looks really good... I could use Passing Trick to charge towards an enemy, acrobatics out of a AOO, feint at my target, then Assassinate.
The Unwitting Ally talent works a bit like a feint and is an ordinary (not high level) slayer talent.
If you can get a friend, cohort, hireling, pet or whatever to take the Feint Partner teamwork feat they could feint for you.
Mmh... that's a very good reason to take the Vanguard archetype actually...
I think I might as well forget about Improved Feint and go for Surprise Follow Through and Cleaves!
