A nature fang Druid build

[Renegadeshepherd]

Hi all. Don't play many Druids but am playing around with the idea a bit and need to know how bad this idea is since it certainly isn't widely used. I want to make a half orc Druid that uses destruction domain to the max and to that end I'll be taking summoning feats to get many (tough) cyclops with their one time auto crit. But that will take a long time to get going so I plan on using a scimitar and dervish dance to crit fish and boost the saves. A rough idea on feats looks something like

1) weapon finess, 3) dervish dance, 4) rogue talent for weapon focus, 5) conjuration focus 6) ranger style for combat expertise (slayer talent), 7) augment summons, 8) improved critical (talent), 9) superior summons, 11) divine interference.

For traits will take reactionary and fates favored with skilled and sacred tattoo for alternate racial traits.

Any tips, modifications, or challenges I need to be made aware of?

So, why are you going dex based? It looks like you can get some of your summoning feats in early if you go with a str build. It turns on even faster.

You get another talent at level 10 and an advanced talent at 12, remember. I can't see how you're getting Improved Crit at level 8 though - there isn't a ranger style which gets it before level 10 that I know of and the one with it at 10 is with a rapier.

And it also allows to revere any other god, instead of Saerenrae, and have a different look than yet another dude dancing spinning and screaming,and having a different background than "this is yet another PFS character that spent some time in Qadira learning to be a dervish eith the Dawnflower Cult" which might or might not be an issue, depending how much you care about fluff and background =)

You are right it would have to be at 11 or 12 for improved crit

Just go full caster with nature fang. The studied target thing increases saves to your spells, go full Save or suck + summons.
