Hello there Pazio people!
I am been thinking about what a good combo with Sling Master could be to loose the magic part and I read about Skirmisher and Trapper, so faar I am actually leaning towards Trapper.
Since we are transferring character from Warhammer Second Edition to Pathfinder. I may aswell try to be as spot on as possiable.
My character has a longer historie with troll hunting in our incounters, and I though traps would be the awesome thing to have in the mix. At first incounter as but a peasant he slew a troll by makeing a burning house fall over it. Later on he killed a "war troll" led by Greenskins that he send down into a boar trap pit filled with spikes and tar only to put it ablaze with fire.
Oh did I metion he is a pyromaniac?
Oh well! In the reason history he just lost the castle of Ytunsburg after a great battle with orcs. Where there was so litte left, that they left it, after a horriable bloody draw.
Naturally his favored enemy would be trolls, if lucky I would ask permission to have Greenskins and Trolls - Since Giant doesn't make alot of sense, really to me. And would it be fair to have greenskins and trolls? We talk the Warhammer universe.
He also has the Foe Slayer story feat, so he can always roll with that Greenskins wise, if he doesn't get trolls and greenskins as favored enemy. Would it be OP or not, to have the two combined?

I may upgrade one weapon or armor to have a + 1 value. On the allowance of my GM. I think it will be either a sling or Sling Staff, Halfling or my armor.
Headsup! I only get ONE favored enemy/prefered target. And It's a MUST that it includes trolls. However, atm my GM is afraid if I get both Greenskins + Trolls it will be too powerfull. However, I told him it would be silly too with Giants Subtype, he agreed. But he said either trolls or the rules, even tho its abit silly.
He is willing to look into if I write him my idears and such, but first I wanna know if its OP or not.
Everything is up for debate, aslong as its reasonable to him.
Foeslayer is for Greenskin mostly since they forced him out of the castle he and his group liberated from the orcs tyranny. Eventually they lost it after a bloody draw, to Blakmok. A warlord orc who was able of useing blackpowder along with a selected with of his orcish troops. - Black orcs at that.

The many variations of Humanoids and Outsiders exist because there is a big difference between fighting a Dwarf and an Elf. They are different races, and should be treated as such.
The term "Greenskins" is a common collective description used by many civilized nations to refer to the forces of the Orcs and Goblins and other biologically related races. The broadest division is between the Orcs, who are strong, brutish, and savage warriors, and the Goblins, who are smaller and weaker, but cunning and conniving creatures.
Greenskins aren't a race. They are a group of different races. You wouldn't pick "Favored Enemy (Followers of Iomedae)", since that religious order is made of all kinds of races, and as such, do not have the same fighting style/physique.
You should pick either Goblins, Orcs or Trolls, since Greenskins isn't a valid option.
And the Foeslayer feat for Greenskins is a valid option, just remember that your GM decides what is an "appropriate" number, and there is a clear definition of what a "Challenging Foe" is.
My GM allowed me to go with Greenskins and Trolls as a sorta "faction" as prefered target. They not all races either but limited and won't appear all the time + they are an ENEMY only race and not a "friendly" npc.
Foeslayer is the same as my prefered target / enemy.
He agrees that the favored enemy is sorta not that powerfull, so his cool with it.
Is 12 in wisdom enough by the way? :)
Well, I would prob switch the Charisma Score with your Wisdom. Wisdom will give you another +1 to your Will save and if you don't have any class features scaling with Charisma, Wisdom is the better choice.
By the way, you'll only get your first trap as a Trapper Ranger at level 5. Are you okay with multiclassing 5 levels into ranger for those traps?
You could always just place one (or two, so you can take combat training at level 2) levels into ranger for the favored enemy, and pick up the Learn Ranger Trap feat if you want to use traps.
That way, the trap would scale better as you are multiclassing. And the traps are pretty bad, too (low saves/low perception to notice), so don't sacrifice everything for them.
So instead of placing 5 levels into the Trapper Ranger, place 1 level for favored enemy and take the feat for the ability to place traps.
The trapper part replaces the magic part of the halfling sling master ;)
