If you want to play godmodeI find this immensely humorous of being said about a martial character.
Thankfully PFS avoids a lot of the insane caster shenanigans simply by ending most of the adventures before casters get to that level. Magus' with their 15-20 crit range intensified maximized empowered quickened shocking grasp antics are always fun to deal with though.
I still hold the opinion that the core druid, with no archetypes at all is the most powerful class in the game if you understand their spell list.

As for the furious finish reading... RAW you will be fatigued. Full stop. It doesn't matter if you are immune, immunities are more general than this feat, which states that, no matter what other abilities you have, you are still fatigued.

The viper as written reads; "Melee bite +5 (1d2–2 plus poison)", your argument is: because of RAW a Druid's 9th level venom immunity is pointless.It's not that the character is "NOT" fatigued, the cord gives an alternative to what "fatigued is"
Fatigued
A fatigued character can neither run nor charge and takes a –2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity. Doing anything that would normally cause fatigue causes the fatigued character to become exhausted. After 8 hours of complete rest, fatigued characters are no longer fatigued.
The cord's text reads; "ANY effect which would cause the wearer to become fatigued deals an additional 1d6 points of nonlethal damage INSTEAD.
Just the way games are designed, the feat 99% of the time is designed first then the magical item providing the combo.
Building a character with synergies and combos is not God-mode, it's how a well prepared player builds a [u]hero[/]! As a very seasoned GM over countless RPGs, I can always find a players "Achilles' Heel" without resorting to an Arrow of Slaying, a Tarrasque, or a dragon falling from the sky.

I agree, I think a base druid is one of the most powerful characters in Pathfinder! I can't remember EVER having anyone play a druid at my table. This is my first time to seriously dive into a build in Pathfinder. The wording on a druids spells and abilities is confusing. I've read 2 dozen (incomplete) druid handbooks trying to figure this stuff out (have yet to see a complete one). As soon as I think I finally have a grasp on it, I find out I was supposed to know these two abilities don't stack because they effect the [u]exact[/u] ____ in the same way (though you could never tell that from reading the RaW). It has been incredibly frustrating.
This is where the character is currently, I likely will change the curve blade to the fauchard with polearm tactics and remove both winter and entangling strike. But, currently this is the build:

I still hold the opinion that the core druid, with no archetypes at all is the most powerful class in the game if you understand their spell list.
my only disagreement with that is the menhir savant archetype. You get a bunch of free +1 CL per day, a great Detect ability, free teleport basically, and ethereal jaunt, the only thing you really lose is the 1000 faces ability.
That, and maybe the new herbalist druid bond, you just get X free potions per day, at your CL, for just about any spell you want haha.
source severance alone ruins a wizards day.
Druid has always been one of my "go to" classes for pure versatility and power. That said, I rarely play them, as they usually just don't mesh well with most campaign settings.

except the text of the feat states "..., and you are fatigued (even if you would not normally be)."
have that magic item (or any class/racial ability) keeps you from being fatigued normally. the feats states you would be anyway. hell, undead and constructs that use this feat would be effected and become fatigued
your ability to find an achilles heel is moot here, make them exhausted, congrats, you are useless.
instead is the key word here, its removing the fatigued condition and replacing it with 1d6 NL. the feat supersedes that and says "no, you actually are fatigued"

Actually, I will rescind at least part of my former statement, as while this is not an official ruling on an FAQ, JJ usually has the right idea on intent with the design team.
James Jacob post regarding the feat.
Apparently, immunity negates the last part, so taking a level of oracle for fatigue immunity still works with it.
However, it still doesn't cover the cords interaction, but, assuming JJ was correct, would lend credibility to the idea that cords also nullify the ending part of the feat.
@rorek55 thanks for taking the time to look that up and thanks again for sharing!
I just ran into a real problem trying to figure out the animal system in PFS.
Is Gifted Adept "Call Animal" legal according to PFS?
Example:
Lvl 2 character
Nature Check: "are there any Dire Wolves in this area (or similarly large(r) creatures)(Primal Empathy)?
DM: yes there are.
"Call Animal" for CR3 animal
Attempt "Wild Empathy" (Primal Empathy) check to move from "Indifferent" (Call Animal) to "Friendly". DC 15 vs roll +8 Diplomacy (at 2nd level).
If fail, spell; "Charm Monster"
"War Trained Mount"/ "Animal Purpose Training"
I am likely going to repeat this in the rules forum.
There is a campaign rule embedded in the PFS Additional Resources page saying that, "A PC can only purchase an animal, mount, or similar creature if its Challenge Rating is lower than that character's level; creatures with a Challenge Rating of 1 or lower are exempt from this restriction, as are horses."
Does that effect this trick?
@scott, I too like crit focus skills but, I had only 2 feats to play with.
I only am Crit pro when it comes to dmg like this and a 25% change of doing it.
The half elf lets me pick either Fauchard or Elven Curved Blade... I'm under the impression (and I've been wrong before) that the large troll has 10' reach and the huge troll has 15' reach.
I'm sticking with Elven Curved Blade because of Elven Battle Training mixed with Grasping Strike and finally, I have knockdown as a rage power....So I should get my 2 AoOs... Not that I should need them after Greater Vital Strike.
P.S. "God Mode is at lvl 20 with Greater Vital Strike and 8th level spells but, no GVS at level 19 (so 1/2 dmg) because of the +16 to hit requirement of GVS.
And I think this guy is well planned out unless someone has an answer on the "Call Animal" question.
I will post the level 7 and 14 mock-ups later today if anyone wants to see if the build holds water early game (I think it does but, not as melee that is what creatures are for).
It strikes me that your AC and to hit is pretty low for a level 20 character.
@chromatic Durgon It's because I've got minimum magical items.
A note on the large/ huge size in small areas, squeezing sucks,(-4 to hit and AC). There are not a lot of ways to combat this but one that works well is the Universal Monster Abliltiy compression. 1/4 space with no squeezing and 1/8th with squeezing will get you threw most small spots.
The easiest way to get this is the Belt of the Weasel. A dex belt over str isn't ideal but is nice with the combat reflexes. The moving and attacking wile prone can also be nice.

Large might not be too much of a problem (since monsters tend to get bigger at higher levels, and they have to fit too).
Not as much of an issue if you go the off brand goliath route by using earth elementals- they can earthglide.

The final build out is forthcoming. He can always change to medium and just summon creatures and heal. The build premise is that's actually how he starts as a backup tank/ finisher.
