[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5685730, member: 35909"] Update: Brawler archetype from UC gives an awesome +1 attack / +3 damage with all close weapons at level 3, and +1 bull rush and a few other maneuvers at 2. It's perfect for this build! Sample level 9 optimized build with 25 point buy: [sblock]Oread Guide Ranger 6 / Brawler Fighter 3 Str 18, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 5 (25 point buy) Str 20 (22), Dex 16 (18), Con 14, Int 12, Wis 14, Cha 5 (final) HP: (9d10 +18 +6 favored class) AC: 28 (10 +8 armor +3 dex +4 shield +1 deflect +1 natural +1 insight) Saves: Fortitude +11, Reflex +11, Will +6 BAB +9/+4; CMB +15 (+20 bull rush), CMD 31 (36 bull rush) Full Attack Shield +21/+16 (2d6 +13, 20/x2, P) and Shield +21/+16 (2d6 +10, 20/x2, P) Special: Bull rush on each hit, using attack roll +5 for the maneuver check Feats: 1 Imp Shield Bash 2 Shield Slam 3 TWF 5 Weapon Focus (Heavy Shield) 6 Shield Master 7 Improved TWF 7 Power Attack [Fighter] 8 Improved Bull Rush 9 Greater Bull Rush Gear (46000 gp): +2 Bashing spiked heavy shield +2 Bashing spiked heavy shield +2 Breastplate or Kikko Armor Gloves of Dueling Strength +2 Dexterity +2 Ring of Protect +1 Natural Armor +1 Dusty Rose Iuon Stone Cloak of Resistance +1[/sblock] Ideal final armor would be mithral full plate, O-Yoroi, or Tatami-do, just too expensive at level 9 to be practical, IMO. Note that it can use Guide Ranger's Focus ability 2/day for +4 attack and damage, also. I rather like this concept, shame there's no decent PF feat to apply shield bonus to touch AC or lend an ally your shield's AC bonus yet. EDIT: Forgot Shield Master completely negates the TWF penalties. [/QUOTE]
