I'm putting my archery focused inquisitor into one of my group games. This group has a houserule that gives everyone a Martial Tradition from Spheres even if the character doesn't qualify for it or the player doesn't plan to use Spheres in any other part of the build.
I have chose to take the base Barrage and Sniper as part of my tradition. This gives me Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and Rapid Shot. So now I have 3 empty feat slots. And now I'm wondering what to put into those slots. I can't move up Clustered Shots or Manyshot due to BAB requirement.
I'm also wondering what Equipment talents I should take as the rest of my tradition. I saw one that acts as Empty Quiver Style. I'm wondering if it would qualify as having Empty Quiver Style for the other style feats. (Probably an 'ask the GM' question.)
I'm using a half-orc and the archetypes Ravener Hunter and Sanctified Slayer. This gives me an Oracle Mystery with 2 Revelations and some Slayer talents. I went with the Battle Mystery and the Weapon Mastery revelation to net Weapon Focus at level 1, Improved Critical at level 8, and Greater Weapon Focus at level 12.
Any thoughts?
Additional Traits... because they can be useful.
Improved Initiative... regardless of having a high Dex, going first always helps.
Deific Obedience? For flavor, obviously.
No judgement. Archetype trades it away. And I do not qualify for Extra Revelation. It specifically calls it out.
If there was a way to regain Judgement, that would be helpful.
I'm sorry for interrupting, but I don't understand the basic houserule. Which is to say I don't know what Martial traditions from spheres is. Assuming Spheres is a book, and martial tradition is a rule in it...but not sure what the book is, or what the rule does...
Spheres of Power and Might are a 3pp system meant to be used alongside base Pathfinder. The different Spheres have different effects and they all have talents that you can take. Many of the Spheres and their talents replicate feats.
Basically in this case, I'm getting the equivalent of Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and Rapid Shot all at level one. So I don't actually have to take them as feats.
Okay, absolutely not familiar with this title, so will wish you good luck :)
Ok, apparently Barrage only applies the effects of Rapid Shot to the attack action and not a regular full attack. I've asked my GM and since EITR rules are in place, having the Sniper Sphere acts as having not only Precise Shot, but also Point-Blank Shot for feats. So I'm going to drop the Barrage Sphere and take the Athletic Sphere Run package instead. And just take Rapid Shot as a normal feat at level one.
Archery Bash does not call out as covering Empty Quiver so it can't qualify me as it for other feats. I'm going to take it anyway since it's really good and just not go for the Empty Quiver line. And Huntsman Training as well. I don't need the proficiencies but it also covers Far Shot so it's a decent choice.
I still need to fill in the slots for level 3, 5, and 7 though. I think I'm covered on being able to shoot well.
I'm going to go for a pet. A wolf. It'll help with flanking and stuff. Guess I'm good to go with this character.
