    So if you want to be the party tracker and have a wild cohort, sounds like you want a Swift Hunter build.

    Swift Hunter archers go Scout 3 or 4/Ranger X. Two Weapon Fighter swift hunters go Barbarian 1/Scout 3 or 4/Ranger X.

    You need Ranger 1/Scout 3 to be elligible for Skirmish. Scout 4 gives a bonus feat, and bonus feats are always nice, but it puts you a level behind on Ranger bonus feats.



    So you want to be a Chaotic or Neutral Barbarian 1 for Pounce and Rage for Bear Warrior, but that doesn't work with Monks who have to be Lawful, hence the ex-monk stub. Ranger 1 is an odd pick here, you might have picked it for the skill points.

    What I'd suggest: Barbarian 2/Fighter 2/Fist of the Forest 3/Bear Warrior 5. You get in to Fist earlier, Fighter gives you two bonus feats (or a bonus feat and the Resolute ACF to improve your Will Save), and you still have enough feats and full BAB at level 4 to get into Fist of the Forest at level 5.



    Education + Knowledge Devotion.



    Solid build. Take Travel Devotion as a feat to get free swift-action movement.



    I have no idea what this is but Monk 1/Cleric X is a decent build. Maybe fit in a couple levels of Prestige Paladin with the Serenity feat to lose one casting level and a feat but ridiculously boost your saves. You don't need to multiclass further than that.

    Hope this was what you were after. If there's something you'd like fleshed out further, feel free to let us know.
    The CN wild monk took ranger for the base attack (for feats requiring 1 base attack and skill points in survival etc for meeting fof requirements and track I thougt was flavorful given scent.

    Scout 3/ A cleric of Fharlagen build could be interesting with zen archery and travel devotion likewise

    I considered swifthunter with 3 levels in rogue and 2 levels in fighter for feats and bonus attack (so a little all over the place) as well but I've heard sneak attack is a bit hard to trigger in conjuntion with skirmish.

    @PMMaat Mons
    What source is the otherworldly feat from?
    Only reason I go for wild elf is the lack of con penalty and druids dont depend on int outside of skill points and theming because it makes sense that the druid thst is constantly outside crawling through mud would be able to offset that elven fragility. Also because of the setting being in a temperate forest in a valley I wasn't sure the terrain for desert or snow would fly with the DM.

    @biffomiacus_furiou
    I'll be damned I could have sworn there was LG alignment req good to know I'll only drop 2 caster levels and I can just keep going cleric from there.

    @everyone
    Any last minute general feat advice? Fun little gems for lowish levels or interesting build paths to go down? I made pretty good use of deadly defense combat expertise and broadblade shortsword(? The one that further boosts combat expertise / fighting defensively) on a rogue once so weirdly enough a lot of non-standard options can work out quite well. Or some of your favorite / interesting builds within the parameters of the thread
