I'm going to have a DFA (with a 1-level dip in Mindbender for Telepathy) as a temporary character in a campaign that uses a mix of 3.5 and PF rules. (Mostly 3.5 rules, but PF base races, PF base classes, PF-style favored classes, (no racial FC alternates though) and feats every odd level instead of every 3. Everything else is 3.5)
I'm trying to be a battlefield controller. Entangling Exhalation is my first feat.
The campaign has little to no access to magic items. I might be able to convince the DM to let me use Craft MA&A using invocation user level. He's weird about starting wealth for higher level characters, though, so any gear recommendations should be mundane. (Mithral is available)
The character will be starting at level 7-10, and I'm looking for a way to make sure I have a decent AC without spending too much permanent resources (feats, class choices, etc.) on it.
I'm looking at Steadfast Determination to have a decent will save, and I'll have Natural Armor, so anything that ups that works too.
Speaking of Steadfast Determination, are there any feats that count for all intents and purposes as Endurance without being, well, Endurance? (Other than Kobold Endurance. The Kobold Race isn't being allowed)
Stats are, as rolled, before racial bonuses:
10 11 17 12 7 13 (Thinking of using them in roughly that order, (S/D/C/I/W/CH) for RP purposes. Thoughts on this would be appreciated as well. Skill points ARE important to my RP ideas)
Only the base PF races are being allowed, with no alternate racial abilities. (Otherwise I was going to go Warforged)
3.5 core + Completes, Dragon Magic, Races Of [whatever] (Last two are Ask For DM Approval)
Metabreath Feats are being allowed as-is, with no pre-req. (Convinced the DM that the DFA's breath weapon was in the spirit of the Metabreath Feats, if not the letter)
The Draconic Flight and Walk Unseen Invocations are being disallowed. (The DM feels they're too powerful as At Will abilities. I don't have the energy to argue)
Not quite sure yet which Humanoid Shapes I'd have access to. The setting hasn't had anything but humans for several centuries now. (The different base races represent different subraces of "human" for the time being)
Humanoid Shape will still let me use my breath weapon: It's from class levels, not from form, so Change Shape doesn't affect it.
Note: I HAVE read a couple DFA handbooks, but those are from many years ago, and unfortunately assume a "standard" campaign, with more access to WBL than I have. Also they assume fewer feats than I'd have access to.
In case it wasn't clear, this is a relatively low-op campaign. I'm just trying to make sure I can't get
