Hmm... I'm not entirely sure what melds to shape, and any input would be welcome, but I don't think I'm going to go actively seeking it this time around.
(Edit: I mostly wrote it all out for my own benefit, to think on it and such. No need to actually read through it. T that end, I've spoilered it)

As it stands, my dilemma is as such, assuming all the melds involved are known and able to be shaped.
The Worg Pelt, obviously, because its pretty much always shaped.
The crown should be filled, but I'm not sure its necessary. If I keep something there it'd either be the Crystal Helm for the AC or maybe a Soulspark Familiar to scout ahead with me. I'm a little worried about the 10ft complication, but its Tiny so I could probably keep it in a pocket or something (unless swimming gets involved, then it'll probably drown), and it could occupy my space in combat without much trouble. I don't think it can flank, unfortunately. Its got an attack form, but its ranged, despite not provoking for use.
For main DPS I'm a little torn. I can either go Dissolving Spittle like I have been for ranged DPS and help for obstacles, but if its a cramped space the firing into melee might become difficult, so Lightning Gauntlets would be preferable.
Other options are between the Adamant Pauldrons, Keeneye Lenses, Theft Gloves, and Truthseeker Goggles.
I'm inclined to go with Worg Pelt, Soulspark Familiar, Lightning Gauntlets, and Truthseeker Goggles, with the Capacity feat dedicated to the Familiar, which would be Bound, turning it from a Least Soulspark into a Lesser Soulspark (which makes it more bad-ass than Darrius).
