Tengu Ward Spiritualist Build


Advice

Dark Archive

Good day everybody! I have recently retired a Skald in a carrion crown i am in, and am bringing in a Spiritualist to replace him, and would like to hear the Overall suggestions the community may bring.

Some backstory for the PC: The Tengu is young, about 14 or so, and was raised up by his Uncle (the Spirit) who was a Halfling. The Tengus parents where guards of Lorrimor(For the Campaign trait background) who was murdered around the same time Lori Was. The "Cult" raided the house that they where living in, killing the Tengus Uncle in the process. but in the way how he died, protecting his nephew, his soul was bound to the tengu.

Im wanting to play the tengu as a shy, and clever young kid, who looks to his uncle for guidance, playing his uncle as a Mentor.

The Build:

20 Point Buy, Level 8, 8th level starting gold(33k)
Str 9 Dex 20+2 Con 12 Int 14 Wis 16 Cha 7
The Reason for 7 Cha: Hes not Ugly, or rude. He just cant Lie or intimidate people due to his nature and sometimes people dont take him seriously.
Bab: +6 Will:11=6+3+2 Ref:10=2+5+2+1 Fort:9=6+1+2
Favored Class Bonus 1/6 Spirit Feat

Weapon of Choice: +1 Agile Temple Sword: +13 1d8+6

Feats:
1: Weapon Finesse
3: Pirahna Strike
5: Harvest Parts(This one is just Flavor. I can swap this one Out)
7: Craft Wonderous Items

I have chosen the Transmutation implement due to the Ward Spiritualist Archetype giving me access to a chosen Occult implement, which gives me a +2 Enhancement bonus to a stat of choice, and the ability to 4/day add +2 Stacking Enhancement bonus to weapons. Which i am fully intending to abuse for Bane+Training( Dedicated Adversary)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------
Spirit: Kindness Emotion
Feats:
1:Additional traits(Adopted:Halfling, Helpful; Kin guardian)
3:Combat Advice
5:Combat Reflexes
6:Bodyguard

Using the Helpful halfling Trait, Kin Guardian, and the Kindness Emotion Aid bonus, While aiding the spiritualist, He gives a +8 Bonus to an attack, or to Ac, which the Ac he can do for expending an aoo. He also has the Feat Combat advice which gives a +2 Bonus as a move action making the total +10. Once he has +6 Bab he will pick up Swift Aid, wich will allow him to aid as a swift action. Also thanks to the Kindness emotion, he has Lay on hands (As paladin) alowing him to help heal in and out of combat. Not to mention he can give an ally an Immediate action attack if he hits using his standard action Punch.

What would you change, add, or any item(besides the big 5 which he already has)/Feat suggestions? Im happy to hear anything your willing to throw at me.

Unfortunately you can only choose one weapon special ability, but the enhancement bonus increase is probably better than Dedicated Adversary anyway since it helps pierce DR.

Legacy Weapon wrote:
You can also imbue the weapon with any one weapon special ability with an equivalent enhancement bonus less than or equal to your maximum bonus by reducing the granted enhancement bonus by the appropriate amount. The item must have an enhancement bonus of at least +1 (from the item itself or from legacy weapon) to gain a weapon special ability. In either case, these bonuses last for 1 minute.

Swift Aid is pretty neat, but requires Int 13 and wouldn't benefit from the Helpful trait.
Kin Guardian only works on Aid Another checks to improve your AC, so the attack bonus would be +6.
Bodyguard could be hard to pull off effectively since your phantom needs to both threaten the enemy and be adjacent to you, which is especially hard without a reach weapon. Maybe invest in UMD so it can use a wand of Long Arm?

Try to squeeze in the Ring of Tactical Precision when you can, preferably at lv 9 when you get another feat. Swap out Harvest Parts for any other teamwork feat (Shake It Off for +2 to all saves) so that you qualify for Harrying Partners and can give it to your phantom.
