Advice


1 person marked this as a favorite.

So I have recently been looking through quite alot of things and I have come up with a build I desperately want to play. I want the following things for this build.
1. I want to play a fighter Eldritch Gaurdian (preferably with Mutagen Warrior archetype as well but not needed)
2. My familiar must take the Mauler Archetype.
3. My familiar should be flying unless you have a damn good reason not to.
4. I want to be able to mount my Familiar by level 3 and ride around on it during combat.

So now regarding a few other things. I am assuming a 20pt buy and either core races preferred but featured races are allowed. I want to keep full progression of my familiar as well.

Here is my initial idea
Gnome, Eldritch Guardian/Mutagen Warrior (Fighter)
Str 16
Dex 10
Con 16
Int 10
Wis 12
Cha 9
with an Owl Familiar (Could be hawk both are nearly the same)
I take one of the many traits that give me ride as a class skill again and a +1 to it along with some other trait.
Pick up a lance and take mounted combat at 1 and ride by at 3 then spirited charge at 4 then power attack at 5. After that I was thinking weapon focus and specialization lines.
The owl at level 3 would be medium whenever I wish and have a strength of 17 unless I did some math wrong somewhere which would let it carry a gnome with mild gear while still being on a light load. Anyone interested in tossing me some ideas? (This does not need to be PFS legal just please no 3.5 or third party stuff.)


Pack Flanking (or Blades Above And Below if GM doesn't let it apply) since your familiar gets your combat feats and Death from Above to give a bonus to attack on charges while attacking from above. Net +4 to attack if you use both.

Grand Lodge

Consider a flying fox.
Evolved familiar for reach will help a lot with lance use and let you both hang out of reach of normal medium melee.
