So I'm playing a half-orc forgepriest of shelyn. I am looking at feats to take at 3rd and 5th, and really don't know which way to go. Her bonus weapon focus feat is assigned to Bite (since she has the Tusked trait, and this allows the sacred weapon dice to apply to bite attacks). The bite is great when she is wielding her glaive, as it provides close threat to offset the reach weapon. 1st level she took Diehard (Endurance from ART). Her 3rd level bonus feat is devoted to Craft Magic Arms & Armor, and 6th level is devoted to Fire Resistance (both from the forgepriest archetype). She is low cha, 10 dex, and decently high strength. (Very atypical shelyn worshiper, but Shelyn is all about INNER beauty, right?)
This atypical build is what makes if so confusing on where to go. Typically a Shelynite warrior would probably be more dex based, dancing around the battlefield with combat reflexes, and her glaive.
So, some thoughts:
Option A> 3rd: Weapon Focus (glaive); 5th: Power Attack.
Option B> 3rd: Power Attack; 5th: Cleave
Option C> Retrain Weapon Focus to glaive; 3rd: Power Attack; 5th: Cleave.
I'd love to be able to take Weapon Specialization (glaive), but that won't be an option until 9th level, because the warpriest's ability to count as fighter levels is only for her bonus feats, and the archetype trades away the 3rd and 6th level feats.
Alternatively, I've given thought to Deific Obedience (shelyn), as the +4 to craft would be 'nice', but not really necessary (forgepriest already gets some pretty good craft bonuses). But if I did go that route, it might be interesting to dip into the one of the prestige classes at some point.
She is just advancing to 3rd level at this time, and going through Rise of the Runelords, for context.
