I'm playing a Favored Soul / Fighter gestalt. We're skipping up from level 3 to level 7 and I'm trying to figure out if I should just stay the course with both sides, or if there is something else I should consider. A friend suggested Occult Slayer, and I can have the necessary prerequisites by level 7. But I'm underwhelmed considering that to take it I will give up 3 fighter bonus feats (plus a 4th for not having to waste one on improved initiative) and it's pretty focused on a single adversary type. I'm thinking I may be able to do at least as well just taking good feats on the fighter side.
Flavor is a tripping/disarming melee character (spiked chain) using the favored soul side for healing and buffing (and maybe summoning). Wisdom is low, so she doesn't take spells that offer a saving throw. Also party face.
Stats are Str 17 (+1 enh bonus), Dex 11 (+1 at 4th level), Con 16, Int 13, Wis 11, Cha 18 (+2 enh bonus)
Feats so far are:
Exotic Weapon Proficiency (spiked chain) L1
Combat Expertise (L1 fighter bonus)
Versatile Spellcaster (L1 human bonus)
Improved Trip (L2 fighter bonus)
Extra Spell (Enlarge Person) (L3 - DM approved this even tho not RAW)
Planned:
Improved Disarm (L4 fighter bonus)
Combat Reflexes (L6 figher bonus)
<not sure yet> (L6) (improved initiative if going for Occult Slayer, else maybe extend spell)
