Channeling the mysteries of the cosmos is cool. Werewolves and other lycanthropes are cool. What could be better than fusing those two together into one powerful raving lunatic?
My group has settled on their final characters for our upcoming campaign, and no one went with a martial class. I have read in various guides and posts that the Lunar Oracle can actually do a pretty good job in a melee role with their natural weapons and buffs, so I figured that maybe I should try to pursue that route.
I'm a complete noob to Pathfinder, so while I can assume that I'd want to focus on Strength and Charisma in my stat spread, I have 0 clue about what else I ought to do. How do I properly turn a primary spellcaster into a tooth and claw berserker who also likes to work with benighted magic? What archetypes do I look into (I've heard Hermit is good, but I'm not sure how Fade from Memory helps)? Any help would be appreciated.
