Oradin help [PFS]


Advice


So I was thinking about making an oracle/paladin lifelinky tank thing. Originally, I was also going to buy Boots of the Earth, however PFS has errata'd it so you can only use it once a day, and while this would probably be ok most of the time, it got me thinking about other options.

I was wondering how good an oracle/inquisitor is? Also would it be worth it to grab fast healer with the healing judgment? If I wanted a mount would it be worth it to go 4 levels of cavalier and grab horse master? At this point is it any better than just the normal oradin?


An oracle/inquisitor should be a bad combination, because the inqui needs WIS and the oracle CHA.
Fast healing is OK, but mostly for the time after a fight. It rarely makes a difference during the battle, and only at low levels.
I detest mounts personally and would never spend anything on getting one. They tend to be in the way most of the time, die a lot, and are often unusable, notably in certain dungeons. If you plan on using one, horse master is a good idea for a multiclass.

I'd say it kind of depends on exactly what you want to do with your tank, but I have to say that while there are some great Oradins out there, I have been incredibly successful in PFS play with a straight Paladin - in my case a Holy Guide/Oath of Vengeance. At 8th level, he can Lay on Hands 16 times per day for 6d6+20 (self only, 6d6 for others), has multiple castings of Shield Other per day (basically Life Link) and can expend some of those LoH to gain additional Smites or to grant the entire group the Lastwall Phalanx feat which has been a life-saver more times than I can count.

Just something to consider.

Boots of the Earth just saved a bit of paperwork for after combat healing that is still easily handled with Cure Light Wounds wands.

Losing them won't be an issue. Save the money.

An oracle/inquisitor for the fast healing judgment would be a waste of judgment. Typical fights might last 5 rounds. At best, that saves just a charge from a CLW wand.

Swift action healing from Oradin will swamp oracle/inquisitor for the Life Link trick.

The Exchange

Life spirit Shaman could be more helpfull as oracle cause of wisdom.
Personaly i prefer a Shaladin! ^^

Or a.. Sharpriest?...

War priest basically gets channel energy and uses Wis. I think it works a bit better.
