[PFS] Yet another approach for Tower Shield and Reach weapon


Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

As Oread I try for a tank concept with tower shield and reach weapon.
Oread for +Str/Wis and racial traits +NA and +2 against rays. One trait will be Defender of the society the other don't know. With the feat dwarfen blooded I also get the normal movement speed.
3 level Phalanx Soldier for the shield and polearm option and the rest Samurai archtyp Yojimbo. The weapon of choice is a naginata and a tower shield, armor full plate.
For the tower shield to be useful the style feat Mobile Bulwark Style and Mobile Fortress. Till level 5 my plan is
1: Shield Focus, Dwarfen Blooded
2: Mobile Bulwark
3: Weapon Focus
4: -
5: Mobile Fortress

And now my problem is damage. With Full Plate, Tower Shield, feats and traits gone in AC, the enemy go around me to attack those that done high damage.

So please advices for stats, feat progression and samurai order.

Silver Crusade

To say it simply you don't have a way to get significant damage.
You aren't Build for that and Intelligent Enemys will try to avoid it.

Power Attack might be the simplest most efficient way for Results.

This is a simple Matter of Fact.

I don't have the name right now but there is a feat that lets you get lower your AC (-4) and provoke them to attack you.

Scarab Sages

You might want to go Stalwart Defender,at least for a couple of levels. Halting Blow will allow you to keep enemies on you instead of moving to your team despite your lower damage.
