Hey, so I am rolling up a character for a RotRL campaign. I am a long time player(But never played this AP) and the DM was considering making this into a mythic AP as all the other players are completely new and wanted to make this game a bit more interesting for them. The character i am building is a sort of Dervish Dancer Bard who is a priestess of Shelyn, and uses a bladed scarf. Now I know this isn't at all optimal, I have a very bad habit of optimizing characters, and with a bunch of new players, it just doesn't seem right to me that my character often outperforms them, so I am making a new, not super functional, but very thematic character to really tone down how i play to give them a better experience. Now bards are not divine casters, so could the Hierophant even work? If not, I may take the Guardian path and choose from that, but if i can, how can i make the Hierophant Mythic path work with a melee-type bard?
Without divine spells you'd need to pick up a familiar, cohort or animal companion to make any use of the hierophant's divine surge ability. This can be done via feats, but a melee bard is likely to be short of feats. Leadership for a cohort is the cheapest in feats but check that that feat's OK with your GM.
Otherwise yes, there are enough path abilities which don't specify divine spells that you should be fine with the hierophant path; plus there are universal path abilities anyway.
