I'm going to play Carrion Crown, and will play a Spiritualist from Occult Adventures, i like the fluff.

Phantom would be anger, with following feats :
N1 Vital strike,
N3 Power Attack,
N6 ? Cornugon Smash
N11 Devastating Strike
N14 Improved Vital Strike if we get this high
Interested with the Haunted archetype that makes Phantom draw power from character.

I know it's not the best, but like it. I suppose i can do nothing when Phantom is usurping manifestation.
I'm not sure about the character. I like the Scythe wielder aspect, not sure it can be something descent.
Character has to be somewhat optimized but not necessary fully, i'm looking for cool things too. Any suggestions towards fun things and/or optimized things ?
An Anger phantom gets Power Attack as a bonus feat, no need to get it separately. Vital Strike is not a valid option until the phantom has +6 BAB, and with the phantom having effectively about 3/4 BAB I wouldn't recommend the line. At 6th level spiritualist the phantom has a max of 5 ranks per skill and can't get Cornugon Smash. Also there's a feat at spiritualist level 9 you're forgetting.
Whew!
I'd suggest something more like this if you want to focus on intimidate -
1: Power Attack (bonus), Weapon Focus (Slam)
3: Dazzling Display
6: Intimidating Prowess
9: Cornugon Smash
11: Hurtful
14: Shatter Defences
Or maybe like this if you want better means of combining movement and damage -
1: Power Attack (bonus), Improved Overrun
3: Charge Through
6: Combat Reflexes
9: Greater Overrun
11: Furious Focus
14: Weapon Focus (slam)
Edit: thinking about it, focusing on intimidate in a campaign where the primary enemies are undead, hence immune to it, sounds like a bad idea.
There is something to be said for going outflank with you and your buddy and giving him butterfly strike
He crits he gives it to you, you crit x4 and he gets an attack of opportunity.
Also furious focus is arguably better than weapon focus slam in my opinion.
Also improved natural Attack is particularly god for anger if your DM allows it.
I don't think INA and the anger phantom's ability to deal damage as a size larger would stack. Weapon Focus came first in the intimidate build because it's a prereq for dazzling display. An anger phantom hasn't got the intelligence for combat expertise (unless they get a headband of intelligence +6) and the dirty fighting feat can't sub for it with butterfly sting.
Anyway if he's going with haunted his spiritualist will be nauseated half the time in combat and not attacking. I was just looking to see what could be done with move actions alone and the answer is... not much. With a couple of move actions and accelerated drinker you could get a potion out and drink it. Weirdly, improved feint could work if used as a setup for the round after if the phantom drops the usurp, similarly with barroom brawler. At 9th level you could get boar shred to intimidate as a move action. Hiding or moving with stealth is possible.
Thanks for the advices.
Haunted would allow me to choose between using character actions while phantom attacks, and usurp power when character's actions aren't that relevant.
Can't find butterfly strike.
Any hint on how to play the main character ?
In combat seems like he can buff the phantom, spell attacks are quite limitated (sure he has the Phantom already) with cause fear & ghoul touch & touch of idiocy (which phantom could use). That's why i imagine some scenes were i would buff then usurp power to play phantom only.
A spiritualist could be made with teamwork feats, combat maneuvers or other means of supporting the phantom. It's possible to make a character who focuses on the aid another action, or on giving cover with a tower shield, though those may seem overspecialised.
Some spells require a bit of ongoing attention - dancing darkness or spiritual weapon among the lower level spells. Spiritual weapon becomes better with the toppling spell metamagic and a trait like magical lineage to reduce the cost of that metamagic to zero.
Butterfly's Sting is from Inner Sea Gods. ^_^
Thanks for the link. Nice indeed, one with a great critical range could pass his critical to the Scythe wielding friend. However phantom must be a worshipper of Desna (could try that with the GM) and needs Combat Expertise & 13 dex.
