Chosen one Oradin with a reach weapon advice for PFS


Advice


I want to make a Chosen One Oradin for PFS. I have looked at the guide for it and found that very helpful, but I feel I need a little more help since I want to make an unarmored reach weapon user, and It seems a little more feat intensive than what I usually do.

What I have so far:
Human
12 17 15 9 8 15 Traits: Divine touch, Reckless
Level 1 CO Paladin1 :Aura of good, Familiar Emmisary,Detect good, Fey foundling, Weapon focus (glaive)
Level2 Warsighted Oracle 1: Curse: Tongues, martial Flexibility
Level 3 CO Paladin 2: Lay on hands, smite evil, Extra revelation (Life link)
Level 4 Ws Oracle 2:
Level 5 CO paladin 3: Aura of courage, divine health, mercy, Two weapon fighting
Level 6 Oracle 3: Revelation
Level 7 Paladin4 : Divine grace, Channel Positive energy: Spear dance style
Level 8 Paladin 5:
Level 9Paladin 6: Mercy, Weapon Finesse

It will be level 9 before I am able to have the character fight how I picture when using martial flexibility. Initially it wasn't going to be warsighted so I wouldn't need extra revelation but then TWF and Weapon Finesse are just wasted feats until the next time I am able to take the feat that they are pre reqs for. Which is hardly ideal. Unfortunately this leaves no room for things like extra lay on hands or combat reflexes or even Power Attack.

I thought about perhaps a dip into Swashbuckler since the first level deeds are nice but I have no way to regain panache and I'm not sure Swashbucklers finesse will work right with Spear dance spiral. Kata monk gives me a way to get some back as well as a bonus feat for Combat reflexes but no parry and riposte (Ac bonus deed is still nice though) Brawler only give me unarmed strike and another martial flexibility so may be not that.

Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

Have you considered sticking with strength based and taking one of the oracle mysteries with a revelation that lets you add Charisma instead of Dexterity to AC (Lore - Sidestep Secret, Nature - Nature's Whispers, Lunar - Prophetic Armour)? It would make feat selection much less complicated. I would recommend doing this instead of Warsighted in order to get Cha to AC from level 1. If you still want life link, you could take Spirit Guide Oracle and select it as a life shaman hex at Oracle 3.

Note that since the Warsighted Oracle doesn't get a revelation until level 2, they can't select Extra Revelation until then, so you can't take Life Link at Oracle 1 / Paladin 2.

Alternatively, for a simpler dex based version you could use the Elven Branched Spear, which can be used with finesse from the get-go.
