"Must have" feats for a Warshaper

[mcgeedis]

I'm taking on a Changeling Rogue/Warshaper. I just took the second level of Warshaper and I also get a feat.

What are the feats that are a must have for a Warshaper? I plan on taking 2 or 4 levels in fighter eventually, so I'm trying to figure out what the best way to go would be for this character.

Combat Reflexes seem like a rather good choice and the Spring Attack chain wouldn't be a bad idea, considering that the Warshaper gets +5 natural reach at 3rd level. And lastly, Combat Expertise could be cool, considering Improved Feint to allow sneak attack and Improved Trip (thanks to the 2nd level of Warshaper granting me +4 Strength).

I'm not too familiar with non-core, but I'd be open to any ideas that I may be overlooking.

How about Improved Natural Attack

How about Improved Natural Attack

I may be mixing up my PrCs, but doesn't the Warshaper get that as a free bonus feat early on?

I suggest Savage Grapple, if your DM will allow it. Technically it requires Wildshape; it allows you to deal your sneak attack damage while grappling.

Improved Trip and Combat Reflexes.

Warshaper reach means never having to look at a spiked chain.

If alignment permits, you could multi-class to monk and take the ascetic rogue feat. This will give you unarmed strikes as natural weapons which meshes well with warshaper.

Improved Natural Attack stacks with the Warshaper class ability so that is kind of a no-brainer.

Depending on the form you want feats like multi-attack are handy.

Improved Grapple is a fun one.

I'll second Multi-attack and the like.

Unfortunately, my DM won't allow Multi-Attack with the Warshaper. I do like the improved trip route though. I might as well take improved feint while I am at it, considering being a rogue and all.

Thanks for the advice though... I'll keep at it regarding the Multi-Attack.
