Alright so after the game I think I need to make a more optimized character instead of an effective one. This is not because my GM is trying to kill us but more because I realized that some party members are not adverse to pointing guns at others to get what they want and the disadvantage is that these two gunslingers joined as siblings so its pretty much 2 on 1 for anyone. Not even 2 on 2 for me because Tom Dick is just pretty darned weak and the ape is only good with buffs and being close to enemies.
Yeah I started out using the ape instead of the trex because becoming a mob enforcer with a troll for muscle is funny.
In any case to confirm the details above, the feat I've taken for the Tom Dick is Combat Expertise. I figured with using my standard action for Betrayer, I can eventually use my move action for Improved Feint Partner giving my hard hitter two extra attacks with his combat expertise and at least Feint Partner removes the dex bonus for one attack. I have to wait until level 9 but should be useful. I get to do my attack and feint at range to give the ape more attacks in melee.
Favored class bonus was put into hp (thank god) One shot from the arcane gunner put me at 1/2 of my max hp which was worrisome even though I had a wand of CLW to pop me back to full. (max hp 57) I'm considering taking a wand of invisibility or wand of blur now to stealth on Harry and assist him from there while hoping I don't get hit although I'm unsure how it'd synergize with everything else.
For spells I've taken
Level 0: Create water, detect magic, resistance (good to spam I guess), light, spark, stabilize (for taking prisoners)
Level 1: Lead blades (more damage to the chainsaw), liberating command, obscuring mist, call animal (I'm hoping this would eventually be useful with cunning pantomime), endure elements
Level 2: Carry Companion and Reduce Animal (one makes the other redundant so I'm not sure whether I should switch out one), Wind Wall (since I can't take fickle winds yet), Locate Weakness (rerolling the 6d6/8d6 from chainsaw on a crit)
Level 3: Strong Jaw (after primal transformation and this I think the ape's nat weapons do 3d6 each), Mad Monkeys (a personal favorite spell of mine which demands a slot unfortunately)
Harry's last feat became weapon proficiency for chainsaws. His evolutions were also changed to Improved damage for bite and claws, gore, grab with bite, rend and improved natural armor x2. His attack bonuses are all at 10 and the natural weapons are primary. If anything has been proven last week is that the 1hp/s regeneration is pretty useless so I might as well be taking DR5/adamantine until Harry takes a lot of damage and needs the 1hp/sec regeneration the next day.
At the next level I'll likely take Tremorsense and use Primal Surge to give burrow (landshark combo), fly or some other attack method depending on the situation.
Unfortunately Harry's AC of 25 was pretty much useless because these guys are hitting at touch AC (modern firearms) not that it mattered since they meta'd to attack Tom Dick first. Cover for the x2 AC against firearms didn't help me either since one of them has improved precise shot from the ranger combat style (although I think I need to ask the GM to audit because he said he was an Arcane Archer as well which is impossible because he'd need a level in an arcane casting class) The GM allowed for taking AA with guns if anyone is wondering.
As for the other sibling, I don't know much other than the use of a rifle, full levels in gunslinger and somehow reaching an AC of 27. Although those two have been checking my sheets they were adamant in not allowing me to see theirs so I don't have much information besides this.
Just for precautions I think I might have to take one of the spells which can go against firearms although they seem quite limited. Bullet Ward is quite expensive to keep account of and Damp Powder doesn't last long enough. It seems Hunter's also get Summon Nature's Ally for free so I might have to read up on maximizing its effectiveness as well.
Some other spells I think which may be useful for any situation (not just the possible PVP) is Brow Gasher (despite the long time needed), Eagle Eye, Aqueous Orb (too short a duration to drown anyone in my opinion) and Badger's Ferocity (to save money on the keen chainsaw) Does anything think they may be useful at all?
In any case, any suggestions of alternate spells, feats and items would be helpful. Some advice and tactics on any potential scuffle against the gunslinger duo if it happens at all would be equally helpful. Thanks.
