Naga aspirant help


Advice

Liberty's Edge

Building my next pfs character, Want to build a druid.

Looked at the saurian shaman first but naga aspirant looks very sweet.
I decided on Str 15, Dex 10, Con 15, Int 10, Wis 16 and Cha 7 before my racial adjustments. My first level feat will most likely be toughness to shore up my lackluster hp.

Later I plan dipping into monk with shaping focus and pick up dragon style, then pick up horn of the cryosphinx asap.

Thoughts on the build and any advice to fill the gaps?

I take it you want to beat things as you're taking a monk level?14 wis is enough.

I would use the following array (before modifiers) instead:

Str: 14, dex 14, con 14, int 10, wis 14, cha 10

Spells you'll want to use are: mage armor, shield, divine favour, mirror image, shield of faith, invisibility, see invisibility and greater invisibility.

Traits:
Reactionary, magical knack

level 1(1 druid): any feat
level 2(1 monk): combat reflexes(monk bonus feat)
Level 3 (2 monk): improved grapple (monk bonus feat), dragon style
level 5: power attack
level 7: natural spell
level 9: shaping focus
Level 11(if you qualify - needs 3rd level of monk): monastic leagacy

I have not studied enough of pummelling style, pummeling charge to fit it into the build(master of many styles instead of vanilla monk may be better). Also unsure if horn of cryosphix works while wildshaped. Prototype (he wrote the guide to blending monk and druid) may better able to help.

Should have probably asked this before but you still retain your standard wild shape alongside naga shape? considering you get it at 4, seems like it replaces wildshape to prevent stacking with archetypes that alter wildshape.

You get only the standard lv 4 druid wildshape, the rest is replaced by naga shape.

I'm pretty sure that's not right. I think you get Naga Shape as an additional form I know I've seen that ruling somewhere but can't put my finger on it just now.

Edit: Link here for example

Its questionable and people debate over it.

I prefer to be prepared for the worst possible interpretation so no matter how the GM rules, I've already prepared for it.
