Advice on my Halfling Support Tank


Advice


I am working on a defensive character. So far I am 5 levels into swashbuckler mouser.

Feats I currently have:

Antagonize (I plan to retrain out of)
Cautious Fighter
Blundering Defense
Combat Expertise

His base ac is currently 24 (25 if larger). The way he basically works is to get attacked (forced aoo or just regular attack). Move into the space, and then from there just attack defensively and expertise providing flanking and bonus AC/CMD to adjacent allies.

It has been suggested to possibly put a level into Monk Master of Many Styles so I can pick up Crane Style helping me hit while doing my stuff. As I read more and more into it, I have thought about pushing even more levels into Monk MoMS to pick up Crane Style, Snake Style, and all their chain feats.

Crane Style for the -2 to hit on Fighting Defensively
Crane Wing to give me the +4 dodge bonus which adds +2 to my allies
Crane Riposte to give me -1 to hit on Fighting Defensively and the Aoo should my +4 drop

Snake Style to make my unarmed attacks piercing (so I can swashbuckle unarmed)
Snake Sidewind to help with crit confirmations (I have Sense Motive Maxed)
Snake Fang so I can make Aoo's when the enemy misses me.

*Note* I actually wouldn't pick up Crane Riposte or Snake Fang, they would be activated via wildcard styles.

If you have any other idea's feel free to toss them out there. This is a PFS character so things must be PFS legal.

I had a build simmilar to this in pfs a few years ago. Wuite fun to play. With using archon style, you give attacks of opprotunitys to your allys, which is where alot of your damage comes from.
