Optimizing the Luckbringer

[London Duke]

I find the Luckbringer from Rite Publishing a mechanically tantilizing class but I am struggling to bring one into fruition. The main questions that I have are:

-Whats the best race?

Thoughts:

I would think it would be H/Orc with Sacred Tattoo and Fate's Favored but with the amount of Luck bonuses I could get to my saves, it seems somewhat wasted

-Str or Dex?

Thoughts:

I am leaning towards Str since luckbringers are proficent with medium armor. And it needs less feats (something the Luckbringer is seriously lacking)

-How much Charisma?

Thoughts:

So much of the class utilizes Charisma that it seems like a good idea to invest in however, most of those options are avoidable if I wanted to skimp on it. Would I be ok with a 14 to start or do I really want to start with a 16 or higher?

-What exotic weapon would you choose?

Thoughts:

I was thinking, Elven Branched Spear (combined with opportunist), Fauchard (for crit fishing reach shinanigans), or Falcata (for heavy criticals).

-What are the top 3 abilities you would recommend from Improbable, Nothing Is Written, Long Shot, and Highly Improbable?

-Any feats you can recommend?

Finally
What role does a Luckbringer best fill in a party and what is his Tier?

Edit: As a follow up question does is the Improbable: Improved Weal or Woe limited to once per round? It says that it does not use moments of chance? Does that mean that it has unlimited usage?

Anybody have some input for me?

We put some thought into it, hope it helps:

Thank you so much!

Follow up question, what can (should?) a Jinxer or Hazard Boomer do with his standard actions?

[Lost Spheres Publishing]

Ready or stay mobile generally. Readied attacks with a reach weapon are great discouraging people from closing on your while you work your mojo. If you need to be more "effective" consider ranking UMD and using wands/scrolls/etc to working off roles like support healing or damaging. Otherwise range attacks, aid another or even going full defensive are good options.

I hadn't thought of an Aid another build but that could be alot of fun!

What do you think of going Halfling Jinxer? I know that it would be very feat intensive but it covers all the bases.
