[Pathfinder] Want a 1st level agile warrior

[veekie]

Oracles? They use the cleric list, so you'd be using rays maybe LATE on, and then clerical rays aren't that spectacular to be spamming.

I was having a thought about Dastan being a cohort gained via the leadership feat, and the primary character being "the keeper of 'the sands of time'."  A buffing sorceress would do the trick.  Of course this wouldn't kick in until level 7 in Pathfinder.  So until that time, play as the princess and buff the paladin (you are not the chosen one, but I buff you anyway!).

This accomplishes the original character goal, and the primary character will be on par with the rest of the group.  Of course the DM is under no obligation to let you make or play your cohort, so be sure he is cool with that.  Explain that your main character will be the cohort buffed by the sorceress.  Use the builds suggested earlier for the cohort.

Or do the opposite.  Play as Dastan until level 7, and then get a Sorceress Cohort.  I would not suggest this however, because it introduces MAD and Feat Tax to Dastan, whereas the Princess already has an Uber Charisma and can afford the feat.

Not a big fan of oracle btw.  The new classes from Pathfinder are a step in the wrong direction....gunslinger

Thread necro!

I had forgotten about this thread, how did things work out, OP?

Re-reading the thread, I was inspired to create a new feat, if anyone would like to swipe it for their games or playtest it.

Agile Warrior [Combat; Metagame]
You courageously spurn the basic design goals of the game system your character is thrust upon, the will to create an interesting dexterity-based combatant overcoming piles of horrific design decisions intended to make melee combat static and boring.
Prerequisites: Acrobatics 3 ranks, Dexterity 15, lacking certain classes/feats (see Special)
Benefits: You gain a number of abilities to salvage your poorly represented fighting style:
1. You now use the 3.5 Tumble DC rules.
2. Any opponent with Step Up and similar feats is unable to use them against you when you take a five foot step.
3. If you have the Weapon Finesse feat and are wielding an appropriate weapon for it, you may replace strength with dexterity for damage rolls as well.
4. Any time you begin your turn in melee combat with a creature (any situation where you have traded blows in the past round or you both currently are within each others’ threatened space) and choose to move 10 or more feet to engage a different creature instead of continuing to slog it out, you may make a single attack against the new foe as if you have the Vital Strike feat appropriate for your BAB.  That is, Vital Strike if your BAB is at least 6, Improved if it is at least 11, and Greater if it is at least 16.
Special: In order to take this feat, you must have no levels in Tier 1 or Tier 2 classes, nor any other class that grants nine levels of spellcasting (such as Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, and Cleric), nor acquire the Step Up feat or any feat that requires it..  If you take a level in any of these classes or gain such feats, you immediately lose all benefits of this feat.
