Also summon a mount 1/day. And Improved Critical.3) Buer: Fast Healing (so you can stay in the fight longer)/immune disease and poison.4) Eurynome: DR 2/lawful, Summon a Maul (large magic Warhammer) useable in one hand that you are proficient with.5) Paimon: +4 Dex, Whirlwind Attack feat, Uncanny Dodge, +4 perform and Tumble checks, Weapon Finesse with Rapoer/Short sword, Dance of Death (can move by enemies and strike them once each) 1/5 rounds. Manuevers ideas: (I mark what school beforethe manuver)1) Set-Mighty Throw/ Devastating Throw (acts like a trip, no provoke) 2) Set-Baffling Defense3) Stone Dragon-Charging Minotuar: it acts like bull rush + damages foe.4) Stone Dragon-Mountain Hammer: ignore DR/Hardness, +2d6 damage5) Tiger-Sudden Jump- Jump as swift action (better getting into the battle maybe?)6) Diamond-Sapphire Nightmare Blade: Concentration check vs opponent's AC, succeed they are flat foot against attack +1d6 damage. Still roll attack roll, but this has a chance to make it easier to hit.7) Diamond-Emerald Razor: Make a touch attack with melee weapon instead of melee attack to deal damage (makes it a whole lot easier to hit).8) Feigned Opening: You let your self look open to attack in order to trap the foe.9) Ruby Nightmare Blade: Concentration check vs opponent's AC, succeed melee attack deals double damage. Still roll attack roll, but this has a chance to make it easier to kill foe. If fail check, deal only normal damage with -2 penalty to hit.</blockquote>
