Looking at a Archeologist Bard / Pathfinder Field Agent Build, need advice.

[Steven_Evil]

So, the title says it all. I'm wanting to make a human archaeologist bard who goes into the Field Agent Prestige Class. It will be very flavored toward the society and the tenets that it embodies.

I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this PrC, and if there are any good combo dips. I may dip inquisitor for the teamwork feat ability that lets me bestow them to my allies. Also, any good ides for feats? I'm drawing a blank here.

Build will probably look like Bard 6/Field Agent 6:

Str:16 (Racial Bonus)
Dex:14
Con:12
Int:12
Wis:10
Cha:14
(Favored Class Bonus-HP)

Traits:
Fate's Favored
Maestro of the Society

Skills (Points Allocated Differently Each Level):
Acrobatics
Diplomacy
Disable Device
Knowledge Arcana
Knowledge Dungeoneering
Knowledge Local
Knowledge Nature
Linguistics
Perception
Spellcraft
Stealth
Use Magic Device

Feats:
1:Arcane Strike, Lingering Performance
2:--
3:Power Attack
4:Ability Score Inc.-Str, Rogue Talent- Combat Feat- Cleave
5:Skill Focus- Perception
6:--
7:Field Agent Training-Greater Casting, Wayfinder Upgrade- Shielding, ?
8:Ability Score Inc.-Str, Bonus Feat-Skill Focus: Use Magic Device
9:Field Agent Training-Greater Casting, ?
10:Wayfinder Upgrade- Flask
11:Bonus Feat-Skill Focus: Diplomacy, ?
12:Field Agent Training-Greater Casting

Best i can offer is if you are gonna go melee try to get a 14 CON.

Maybe go
15/14/14/10/10/13+2 as a human. Bump your Strength or Charisma at 4th and the other at 8th. 6+ skill points is good and not having a and by having the 10 in INT at least keeps you from a negative mod. Half-Elf does the same and you get the free SF as well as some other goodies.

I am putting my favored class bonus into HP and going reach with a longspear. Hopefully that helps out with the 12 until I can get a belt of constitution +2.

I'm doing a Dwarf Archaeologist / Pathfinder Delver its pretty fun to play so far, their abilities complement one another really well

Str 14
Dex 12
Con 16
Int 12
Wis 10
Cha 12

Pickax wielding dwarf miner who is an Archaeologist in our mummy's mask campaign, Just enough spells to help out in a situation or out of combat, loads up on wands and scrolls, can spot and disable or open pretty much any lock, door, trap, secret passage, or anything else you can think of.

I have an Arc. Bard in Mummy's Mask too, with all the whip feats and traits. So far, he has tripped most everything in the dungeons and acts as the rogue. He's a blast to play too. I'm hoping this build works out just as well. It's for a PFS Emerald Spire game.
