I am in a campaign where I am playing a Halfling Fighter using the Dragoon archetype and I am at a point where I need to decide which feats to take moving forward. At level 3 I have Mounted Combat and Skill Focus (Ride) from Dragoon level 1 replacing the FIghter bonus feat, Weapon Focus (Lance)...

I hadn't seen that archetype yet. Thanks paradox, I'll look into that one as well.

from what I see shidaku, the Summoner can only use the Summon Monster spell-like abilities when the eidolon is not present. Do you mean to just use the eidolon along with the actual Summon Monster spells that are part of the Summoner spell lists?

That helps a lot Wycen, thanks. Those are the kinds of feats I was looking for. For some reason I just didn't even look in Ultimate Magic for feats, I was just looking through the Advanced Player's Guide and the only one I could really find was Summoner's Call.

by running multiple mobs do you mean utilizing the Summon Monster spells rather than the eidolon for the most part?

So I've been gearing up a Summoner to play in a campaign I have coming up fairly soon, but I'm coming across the problem of which feats to take. Do I build like a mage? Do I build like a fighter? As far as I can see from a cursory glance there aren't a lot of feats that benefit the Summoner...

Generally you can equip a weapon one size category larger than you are. If you are a Medium creature (as most are) then you can wield a large light weapon as a 1-handed weapon, a large 1-handed weapon as a 2-handed weapon, and larger 2-handed weapons cannot be used at all. Wielding these larger...

I am starting a Gestalt campaign next week and I just found out that I can apparently play a Thri-Kreen, and I'm tempted. I already have a Spiked Chain fighter written up (which I will have to drop a couple levels, but no issues there) and I would like to adapt that to a Thri-Kreen character...

That's true, my DM is awfully focused on things that are physically possible in our made up universe.

Thanks for that Nez, that build looks like a lot of fun. I don't think I'll follow that to the letter, but there are a lot of things for me to incorporate into my current fighter. At level 6 I went straight for the Inhuman Reach rather than Martial Study, though I might add that in a level or...

For the moment all I really want is a fun character to play around with. We haven't had a whole lot of fights where the DM is tossing hordes at us, it's been almost exclusively one tough boss and then a few minions before the next boss, so I guess the battlefield control and WW becomes a bit...

Thanks for the input guys, it's been very helpful. Some further information: I could take a flaw or two, but I generally don't as a rule as I personally think most of them outweigh the benefit of gaining one more feat. Also we run a random roll stat sheet, so my ability scores at level 6 (with...

Last week my character bit the dust, so I get to make myself a new one for this upcoming week and I could use a little advice. I was playing a Samurai and was dealing most of the damage for our group, so that is the void I need to fill in the group dynamic again. While looking through the books...

Your best bet there would probably be to just go with Fighter and take all of the Mounted Combat feats. Though bear in mind these all become null if you have to enter a dungeon of some sort.

Changelings are interesting, I just don't feel the natural Disguise Self ability they get is worth the lack of other racial bonuses like what even Elves and Dwarves get. I have just about every book available to me, so those are not an issue, though I'll admit the chakra binding system from the...
