Twinned Summoner, Ranged "Aid Another" specialist, Help?

[Matthais777]

Ooookay guys, so, while building a new character I had a few parameters and a bit of inspiration.

First, I've had some complaints about my characters stealing the spotlight by being "To good" at things, so I decided my new character would mitigate this by being a Aid Another specialist of some sort. It's in PFS, so it has to be PFS legal and no third party.

Second, this feat, Covering Fire. The fact that it let's me aid another at a range, and it's a teamwork feat that still let's me target someone who doesn't have the feat? Very good indeed.

Finally, the Twinned Summoner Archetype which inspired me to play two characters at once, both dedicated to aiding another.

Obviously, this build isn't perfect, and I'm probably missing out on a bunch of stuff, but I'm not looking for perfectly optimized, just being as good as I can be.

Romulus and Remus (Working names, Rom summoner Rem Summon)

Rom
Elf, (For longbow proficiency), 8st, 18 dex, 12 con, 16 int, 10 wis, 12 cha
1. Summoner - Point Blank Shot (Feat Tax)
2. Summoner
3. - Arcane Strike (to be combined with Gloves of ArcaneStriking for additional aid another)
4. Summoner - Covering Fire (Shared with Eidolon through twinned ability)
5. Fighter (Drill sergeant) - Combat Reflexes/Bodyguard (Use arrow as improve weapon when standing near Eidolon
6.Summoner
7. Summoner Combat Expertise (Feat tax)
8. Fighter Harrying Partners/ Swift Aid

Rem- Twinned Summon
Str 16, Dex 12, Con 13, Int 7, Wis 10, Cha 11, (Evolution points used on improved natural attack until 2 is saved up for feat)

1. Disguise focus, Simple weapon prof (Base) Point blank shot
2. Bonus Feat evolution points Additional traits (Adopted for Halfling helpful and legacy weapon for longbow proficiency)
3. Combat Expertise
4. Combat Reflexes, Covering fire granted
5- No increase
6. Dex score increase
7. Swift Aid
8. Harrying partners granted by class feature

So, the idea is that, at level 8 at least, at the beginning of the day both me and the eidolon will wear a ring of tactical precision (Or just me if that's all I can afford) and give our front line fighter harrying partners, and buy benevolent armor for both of us (Probably only +1 due to expense).

When battle engages...

Swift Aid +1 +1 arcane strike, +1 benevolent from me, the same from Eidolon for +6

Main aid +4 +1 Arcane Strike +1 Benevolent from me and Eidolon for +12 to AC. Granting this to the mainline fighter with harrying partners so that the primary bonus lasts through the turn. In boss or mob battle, use Drill sergeant to give everyone harrying partners for a few rounds to help protect them.

Of course, lots of holes in this, and not sure if it can be done better, any and all help would be appreciated!

Benevolent armor ability is your friend

Also look at the bodyguard feat

Got bodyguard on rom already, need another level or two for bodyguard on rem, but sadly it stipulates Adjacent ally so the ranged aid another doesn't help.

I played a similar build that used levels of Bard to get Song of the People's Revolt as a masterpiece. It shares a teamwork feat. Additionally, I used the spell that shares a teamwork feat to share Harrying Partners, which allows an aid another buff to last a full round rather than the next attack. So... Swift Aid and regular Aid Another can both go off and nuke something's ability to hit with attacks into the ground.

You might want to dip 2 levels of Cavalier for Order of the Dragon and it's VERY nice +3 bump to the bonus you give on any aid another.

Don't be elf, be Halfling and start with a +4 to any aid another buff! Super fun!

Just remember, you can run around and aid another on any skill basically (save for Knowledge checks and a couple other corner cases)... and that can really help your allies get the job done!
