I also need a new second level spell. Suggestions for more?

skills of note
Bluff, Diplomacy, Perform (sing, dance) are all 18.
UMD is 16
Disguise is 12

1 rank in each knowledge that can identify creatures so 8 in each.

I'm thinking Additional Traits would might be good, but I don't know what traits may be helpful. I thematically worship Shelyn, but no mechanical benefits there.

p.s. This is for PFS.

What do you mostly do in combat after Inspire Courage? Working towards Precise Shot is an option, or something like Spell Focus(Enchantment) if you're planning for more spell focused

Heroism is usually a good choice for 2nd.
Bladed Dash or Mirror Image are both handy for melee combatants, but seem less important for you.
Battle Song of the People's Revolt as a masterpiece instead of a 2nd level spell can be better than Inspire courage depending on your group, if you can find a good teamwork feat. But you might want to wait until 6th when you can get Outflank.


Flagbearer wouldn't hurt if you want to just squeeze in some extra damage and hit for groups. Since it's a morale bonus and inspire courage offers a competence bonus to those specific things, it stacks.
