Help: A fractured mind melee build


Advice


Hello everybody,

I would appreciate some help on a level 9 fractured mind spiritualist build. The character is based on Senua from Hellblade: Senuas Sacrifice. I want her to fight in melee as well as the class allows while her phantom should be a melee tag team mate of hers. I even considered the pahntom blade archetype but as the character already appeared in my campaign and had her phantom fought some sirens offscreen it will probably be hard to back up.
Character creation rules are PB20, two traits and all paizo material allowed.

Du you have any kind of recommandation? I'd be really glad on how to effectivly build such a character :)

Thanks in advance,
Wasum


Nobody?


With a quick google Senua doesn't look to be the type with a nice phantom. Anger or hatred are fairly straightforward emotional foci to build around if you want melee allies. The fractured mind SLAs are better for anger than hatred. Phantoms are useful for getting teamwork feats which animal companions might have difficulty with; consider outflank, broken wing gambit and/or paired opportunists.

You're going to have some charisma as a fractured mind (with cha as your spellcasting attribute) so an alternate build might be to go for intimidate and build up to shatter defences.

For spells there's a few useful buffs on the spiritualist list. Shield, mindshock and heroism for example. Spells with saves are not naturally their best thing by comparison, despite having a spell list loaded with them.
