So I went back through some old posts and realized I have been trying to figure out my level 2 character for PFS for 5+ months. I've went through many ideas but they havent clicked. So Thinking Back to my skald idea. But while he looks good on paper in play he has been kinda lacking. Was thinking about going reach for it to kinda offset some of it. But feats are really tough. So the other question is how does a bard compare? Was aiming to be kinda front liner But seems like bard's archtypes give up bardic skills for increased combat not sure if that is the way to go (although there seems to be more support for bard) Quick version, plan to take 1 level bloodrager and then skald x half orc utilizing amplified rage with a valet familiar I can post the character later. Problem with going reach is his dex is only 12 atm
