Derailed build: Unarmed Sundering Brawler (PFS)


Advice


Alright so I've been working on a build for a couple of months now, a Steel-Breaker Brawler who's entire concept is that if you need a weapon to fight, you're not "man" enough. She then proceeds to shatter your sword with her bare hands.

I started the character (human), took Improved Sunder and Power Attack. My 2nd level was SUPPOSED to be Pummeling style... And then I learned that Pummeling Style doesn't work with Sundering for ignoring the Hardness of an object, it only works with Damage Reduction specifically.

Now I need to do some rebuilding to make this all work again. 3rd level was planned to be Gate Breaker (Double strength dmg to objects).

My point buy was:
Str: 18
Dex: 15
Con: 12
Int: 10
Wis: 14
Cha: 7

Is my best bet going to be to rebuild my stats to put more into Wisdom for the Steel-Breaker 5th level ability, and just... Suffer until then?


Actually, it still seems to work for adding the damage up for Greater Sunder for maximum Punch-through damage. So I guess I don't have to rebuild the character, it's just a little nerfed.


Well, if you decide against pummeling style, outslug style is also fantastic (turns your 5' step into a 10' step, and gives you penalty free lunge; lets you full attack anything up to 20' away- very friendly with enlarge person).

Pummeling style loses a bit of its advantage when you play a steel breaker- the archetype has a method of ignoring DR, and the first feat of pummeling style is designed to blast through DR.
