Battle Oracle build in bound.

[aobst128]

I'm gonna be playing a battle oracle in an upcoming homebrew game. Free Archetype. I'm stuck between 3 different melee builds.

1: greatsword, on brand, hits hard, leaves room to strike and cast. would go with mauler archetype.

2: dual wielding. Would go with dual weapon warrior. Get the most out of the bonus damage and alleviate poor accuracy somewhat.

3: sword and board. Bastion archetype. Most defensive. Don't have much use for a reaction anyways.

I'll be the defacto healer and one of 2 frontliners. Thoughts?

Unless your major curse is online you are still going to want most rounds to be spell+strike so I think I'd shy away from dual wielding. Assuming there's no specific preference in style I'd probably ask the other martial what they're doing and do the other thing between the DPR and defensive build.

We'll have a rogue and gunslinger for dps, and an alchemist for support. Leaning towards bastion, since everyone will be pretty flimsy. But what's better, Saving my Hit points to protect my allies, or killing enemies faster to protect my allies? An age old tabletop conundrum.

Would be fun but he's too stupid to take magus.
