OA Shaman unarmed BAB and damage question

[Mahali]

My shaman is a front line fighter. I haven't gotten a decent animal companion yet for our level but you don't have to either. I took the Unicorn clan with Way of the Unicorn and a naginata. +3 when mounted to hit.

Wear the best armor you can, use Bull Str, and other AC buffs. When you want to fight and not cast spells Polymorph into a Taku (one of the squid guys) and make mince-meat out of the enemy.

Dont forget the Hero domain, with every overpowered buff spell there is....mmmm. Tensers Transformation AND Rightious Might simultaneously....

 

[Darklone]

Reach weapons would be another possibility. Take Movement check and Combat Reflexes... And your AC can be rather low.

I'm guessing the whole reason for the Shaman to get those bonus martial arts feats is so that you can use stuff like Stunning Fist and Falling Star Strike. You aren't supposed to be doing damage, but using neat save vs. blindness/stunning/death/nausea feats. (Since they are generally based on your Wisdom mod.)
