All right, Advanced Classes Guide has just handed me my new favorite melee class ever, the Brawler. Are there optimization guides out there yet? I have yet to qualify for Google Style and can't find any.

This isn't comprehensive, but it does feature some tricks that could be useful to a Brawler, especially one wanting to use shields to great effect.

I do have to warn you, it turns out some of the tricks I was relying on were house rules I had forgotten were house rules. In particular, qualifying for feats with Brawler's Flurry.

Update! In this thread (http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2qdj7?Brawler-Discussion), Jason Bulmahan states that a Brawler can take feats using Brawler's Flurry, but they can only use those feats while Flurrying.

That post is from the playtest though.

Without anything to the contrary, I'm taking it as RAI. Also, I got excited and forgot to check that.

All right. I'm using Android here, mainly because Iron Gods is going to be the most awesome AP ever (and I sorely hope there are rules for giant robot fighting in it). Any advice?

For Androids or Shield Champions? I don't have any for Androids, and the advice doesn't really change much for Shield Champions.
