| A Ninja's Puzzlebox |
So my group has two major dps characters, one ranged one melee, a cleric, and an evocation wizard.
I talked to my gm to switch from another dps to a buffer. I was thinking the best buffer I could come up with was a sensei/ cavalier going into battle hareld, we are currently level 7 and am trying to think of other things I can do to effectively push out buffs without stepping on the cleric's toes. Hence why I didn't go evangelist cleric for the battle hereld.
I have a 24 wisdom, and he doesn't want me to change ability scores, any ideas other than what I have?
The cavalier would be the standard bearer, and the sensei would give me wisdom to hit which would be nice.

You'd be better off going straight Sensei, IMO. Sensei/Ki Mystic/Qinggong is really nice, especially in later levels when you can pass off your ki powers to allies (just zoop your melee DPS right into the battlefield by teleporting him with Abundant Step).
It's worth investing in Mantis Style to make Stunning Fist more reliable; your wisdom is high enough as a Sensei that it's actually really good and can be used for its intended purpose.

Sensei/Drunken Master/Qinggong is also fun: buy me a drink and I'll give you Barkskin.
Also, if you want to multiclass with Ninja, your ki pools will stack (all wisdom based), and you can pass out any Ninja ki powers, too. (Darkvision is kind of nice, here.) I'm not sure if your group has a trap spotter or scout, but you'd have a really high Perception check and no armor check penalty to Stealth, so it could be pretty effective.

We do have a trap spotter which is the ranged character. Plus ninja is the only banned class sadly. (DM says that it makes the rogue useless even with the unchained stuff) I might look into it, it'd be an interesting concept and be fun to play throwing people at other people but wouldn't it be easier to be a shaman at that point using things like telekinetic charge?
