This character concept has been rattling around in my head for a while. I'm unsure about how viable it will be in the long run, however.
The goal is to make a medium-armor pseudo monk that deals in social skills, emotional debuffs, and d3 damage dice.
Human Avenger Vigilante
STR: 14 DEX: 18(+2) CON: 12 INT: 10 WIS: 8 CHA: 14
Traits: Quain Martial Artist, ???
1: Avenger Specialization, Social Grace(Intimidate), Weapon Finesse, Two Weapon Fighting
2: Fists of the Avenger
3: Gossip Collector, Enforcer
4: Lethal Grace, Weapon Finesse -> Power Attack
5: Many Guises, Social Grace(Bluff), Weapon Focus(gauntlets)
6: Shield of Blades, Power Attack -> Double Slice
7: Quick Change, Cornugon Smash, Enforcer -> ???
8: Cunning Feint
9: Mockingbird, Improved Two-weapon Fighting
10: Signature Weapon, Weapon Focus -> ???
Unless I'm reading this wrong, there's no penalty for fighting in my social identity, which will allow me to keep Social Grace's +4 to Bluff and Intimidate. Stacked with a Cruel Amulet of Mighty Fists, my "flurry" is capable of inflicting Greater Feint, Shaken, Sickened, and anything in between depending on what misses.
At level 8 (when I have all the main parts of the build) my damage is around +11/+11/+6 1d3+18, Bluff/Intimidate +20 including a Circlet of Persuasion.
I've got 3 concerns with my build that I'd like to address with my remaining feats, trait, and gear:
1) My to-hit is alarmingly low for a full-bab at level 8. Well not low, but not amazing either. What should I invest in so I'm not useless against high-level mindless baddies?
2) Maneuverability and range are issues. I need to full-attack to get my combo off, and my 'tricks' are limited to 30 ft. What should I get (other than a bow) to help this spell-less martial not feel useless in ranged fights?
3) My fort save really sucks.
I'd appreciate any advice to help round this sucker out. Thanks!
