Greetings all,
I'm going to be a player in the SOT ap soon, with my gf GMing.
I'm thinking of playing a pixie with the corgi familiar feat and sparkling targe magus build.
My main dilemma is should I go dex or should I go strength ?
Dex provides MUCH better reflex saves, especially with the +2 bonus from shield. On top of that you can block the spells, so having a build with high saves and shield block on spells would make me very resilient and annoying vs ability/spells ennemy.
On the other hand, a strength build would lower my reflex save a lot but increase my will a bit (could go str cons int Wis with ability boosts instead of Str dex cons int) and allow me better damage (Wishblade instead of wish knife, strength to damage).
So my question is:
For those who have played? Is it better to be able to tank spell reflex spells or drop foes faster.
It's worth noting: this AP is heavy on RP and comparatively light on combat. I don't think it's one you need to do much optimization for.

Yup. That said, with that in mind if you want to optimize a dex build may be better for the skill spread. Athletics seems less important here than stealth and thievery.
I went for dex build in the end, the main issue was the lack of reach when you<re tiny and mounted.
The GM has allowed me a 5ft. reach when I am mounted, that is not extended even if I have a reach weapon.
This solves all my problems and I'll be rocking that kukri and those absurdly high saves at level 1!
