Dex-Based TWF Halfling


Advice


How to build this effectively within the following restrictions:
Deity: Erastil (e.g. Ranger (Divine Tracker)) or inquisitor, no dipping, VMC is fine

What I have so far:

Halfling Divine Tracker Ranger (the FCB is great), VMC Cavalier (Order of the Green)

Feats: 1-Weapon Finesse, 2-TWF, 5-Piranha Strike, 6-ITWF, 9-Chain Challenge, 10-GTWF, 11-Outflank, 13-Quicken Blessing, 14-TW-Defense

-That 1/day Challenge provides enormous damage boost and Chain Challenge can add some more.
-Instant Enemy adds static boost to TWF.
-With Quicken Blessing I can summon a flanking body that I can give Outflank to via tactician.
-Order of the green stacks nicely with ranger for massive Favored Terrain bonuses - Scrolls of Terrain bond assumed.

I guess this isn't the most optimal TWF build in general and in my case. The build can go nova, but on a long adventuring day will drastically deplete.

Any suggestions?


Skip gtwf and get tw-defense at lvl 10 instead. Then, get TW-Rend at lvl 14. Also, keep in mind that going Dex TWF Ranger is giving up a big advantage of being able to take TWF feats without investing heavily in Dex.


IMHO go Warpriest. More feats to play with, higher base damage.


I have yet to see the advantage of STR oder DEX for twf. i know, I save one feat and one weapon enchat, but it is less SAD and I need full plate.

Warpriest I can see as an option, also the base damage is only 1d6 better very late game. Combined with weapon speacialization twice, that's 7,5 damage vs. 8 from favored enemy.


Two-Weapon Rend.


Get 3 levels of Unchained Rogue and add DEX to damage for whatever weapon you're dual-wielding.

true. I forgot about that.

Still, str-based halfling looks strange to me...


Shrug, nobody said you had to go STR-based.

Just saying that if you are gonna have high DEX, might as well go with one of the classes who actually need high DEX to get TWF, like Warpriest.


That new Warpriest Archetype looks pretty nice. It solves the problem of Erastil not having very good domains/blessings.

Funny. While the archetype capps sacred weapon damage at 1d6, it does give me weapon training, which in return allows me to take Advanced Weapon Training (Focus Weapon) bringing my sacred weapon damage back to that of a normal warpriest
