u/Glittering-Shelter25

I will be playing in a lvl 12 oneshot in two weeks, and the DM thought it would be a fun to restrict charachter creation to only NPC and prestige classes. Everything else as normal. We are also using the 3rd party major drawback rules that give you a free feat at lvl 1 if you take a "anti-feat" (just search major drawback on d20pfsrd). I was thinking of going warrior into red mantis assassin into evangelist with aligned class red mantis assassin. But if anyone has a fun idea please say so.

Point buy 25 btw

I am building a half-elf serpent shaman druid for a campaign I am planing to join, nothing is set in stone for this build so general advice is welcome but the main two decisions I am realy split upon are

1. Animal companion or skalykind domain with boon companion?

2. Wisch snake should I take? Constrictor, Viper or spitting cobra, because it will most likely influence the decision I plan to take a level dip into mammoth rider at level 10

As I said before even outside these questions, general advice is much appreciated, this is the first time I'm building a not melee druid

Edit: I forgot to mention that my GM allowed my to take the Skalykind Domain instead of the Animal domain as a house rule

Edit 2: I aim to be a support/control caster, I'll still take something between 12 and 14 in each physical stat so I came wildshape in combat if it becomes necessary with 20 point buy and at least 17 in wisdom (Dump Cha).

I am trying to build a charachter who calculates all relevant ability via Cha. What I have right now is:

1 flying blade swashbuckler, 2 paladin, 1 scaled fist monk, 1 possessed lunar oracle, 6 arshea mystery cultist rest ninja (not in that order)

​

Feats:

Divine fighting technique: way of the shooting star

Noble scion of war

Steadfast personality

Celestial obediance

​

Revelation:

Prophetic armor

​

Notes: dump str, dex and wis. Scaled fist only for cha to cmb.

​

Would this be even remotely plyable? Are there any other ways to put cha on a relevant stat, besides becoming undead? Are there any feats I should take? I am open to suggestions. (This is just for the luls)

Edit: I realize that devine grace and steadfast personality do not stack, I misremembered devine grace as a sacred bonus

Edit2: I just realized that possessed oracle is also an archetype, I meant an oracle with the possessed curse

I have read many guides and looked at some thread suggestions but I couldn't find anything that fit what I wanted to do.

I wanted to build a melee character that utilizes the polymorph spells to become whatever the situation calls for.

My initial idea is Paladin 2; Shapechancer bloodline Sorcerer 8; eldritch knight 10 with the prestigious spellcaster feats to get to lvl 9 spells but I feel like it is lack luster.

Any suggestions? What I would like with this concept is theoretical access to the sorc/wis polymorph spells of all spell levels, melee capabilities, no prepared caster (I have alread played 2 wizards and 3 clerics and have realized that I am not a fan of playing prepared caster). Or is this just not doable outside of gestalt?
