3rd Level Feat?

[Quince Medvyed]

So I have yet to pick a 3rd level feat. Any suggestions.

Quince is a kitsune nature oracle dedicated to Erastil.

He is in a Kingmaker campaign if that means anything.

[lemeres]

What kind of style does Quince use? Caster? Ranged? What?

Basically, a bit of your current build might help.

[Quince Medvyed]

Sorry he is not terribly optimized. He has decent enough stats for what the GM wanted but he is secondary healer, secondary melee and has some face and knowledge skills mostly maps and geography.

[Paladin of Baha-who?]

We can't recommend a feat until we know what you already have. Show us a build.

If you haven't taken it yet, Additional Revelation (Nature's Whispers) is a nice big defensive buff.

[Quince Medvyed]

Sorry I forgot to mention the build was the profile.

Revelations

Bonded Mount (Su)::

You gain the service of an unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal mount. The creature must be one that you are capable of riding and is suitable as a mount. A Medium oracle can select a camel or a horse. A Small oracle can select a pony or wolf, but can also select a boar or a dog if she is at least 4th level. This mount functions as a druid’s animal companion, using your oracle level as your effective druid level. Bonded mounts have an Intelligence score of at least 6.

Speak With Animals(Su)::

Choose a specific kind of animal (eagle, fox, dog, and so on). You gain the ability to converse with that type of animal as if you were under the effects of speak with animal. You gain the ability to communicate with an additional kind of animal for every 3 oracle levels you have attained.

Friend to the Animals (Ex)::

Add all summon nature’s ally spells to your spell list. You must still select these spells using your allotment of spells known. Animals within 30 feet of you receive a bonus on all saving throws equal to your Charisma modifier.

Background::

Quince was found by his adopted mother Juniper Medvyed along the banks of the East Sellen River. She discovered the toddler seemingly alone. His true mother had been caught nearby in a hunter's trap in her fox form. Juniper and her husband Torren had for many years tried to have a child. Believing the boy a blessing the parents chose to raise the child. Quince has always been a charming and charismatic person. He was well liked by those in his families holding. While his father was "nobility" they were on the fringes of the clan. His parents for many years thought he was just a boy with a wild imagination. He would report his visits to the woods where he spoke to nature spirits, or ran through the trees as a fox. To this day while Quince knows that he is able to assume the natural form of a Kitsune is unaware that he is in fact not human and is unaware that he was adopted. Rather he views his abilities as a blessing of Erastil, though he has been trained to hide his true form from others.
He had a deep love of nature and developed a friendship with a priest of Erastil, Jern who he convinced his parents would make a good tutor. When he was just 12 Quince had learned to ride a horse and was asking his parents for a mount of his own. While at the Midsummer Festival he and his mother were preparing to watch a game of Chowgan (polo). Before the match he was admiring one of the horses. One in particular seemed to like him. A young spirited stallion. Chowgan can be very hard on horses. Typically a horse only plays 1/3rd of a match, between the other horses, and swinging mallets. The cash strapped noble who owned the horse was short one mount and so rode one of his horses for most of the game. Quince learned that after the game the horse who was injured was to be put down. Quince begged the owner not to kill the horse. He convinced the man to let him try to nurse the horse back to health. He spent the remaining days of the festival caring for the horse. Even convincing his father to delay the trip home for a few days to see the animal mended. Against the predictions of most the horse recovered. Quince named the horse Scram and he rides the horse to this day.
Eventually his father learned that his son was not simply human. Fearing that his low position in the Medvyed clan would not be real protection for his son he made preperations to move the family to the forests of the northern River Kingdoms and over see the clan's timber operations. Shortly after his 17th birthday Quince's father was killed by bandits. After Torren's death Quince attempted to run the timber operations. He sent his mother back to safer lands to the north. Quince loved the opportunity to be in the forest even more. However the ever changing flux of bandit gangs and bad fortune ended most of the timber operations about a year ago. His former tutor a priest of Erastil has recommended him for a position in a team of pioneers that will be working to stabilize the stolen lands. Hoping his affinity for nature, training in geography and charismatic character can be of use to the effort to subdue the region. He is happy for the opportunity to bring a measure of peace to the region who took his father from him.

I liked Nature's Whispers but my dex and cha are fairly close. I am considering it.

Since you took Friend to the Animals, I assume that means you want to use Summon Nature's Ally, in which case there is an entire feat chain dedicated to helping them out (Starlight/Sunlight/Moonlight Summons) and a few feats for summons in general (Augment/Superior Summoning), all of which require Spell Focus: Conjuration. All the feats work with regular Summon Monster spells, too.

Alternatively, you took it to help out your mount, in which case there are a heap of mount and teamwork feats that you can drown in. There's always something you can put a feat towards.
