Hello Playground!
Right now I'm making a character for the Carrion Crown AP, and I would like to play a dhampir Nightblade (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/ascension-games-llc/nightblade) with the Bloodied Chain (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/3rd-party-classes/ascension-games-llc/nightblade/paths/path-of-the-bloodied-chain) path. Yes, I know it's not optimal for this campaign, but I really like the concept, especially the bit about scaring fear immune creatures at 5th level.
Unfortunately, I am still very new to optimization-fu in Pathfinder (I'm much more used to 3.5), and this seems like a character that I need to plan very carefully to avoid being completely worthless. My biggest problem right now is planning out feat and spell selection to most optimally stack up fear effects while also having some other combat utility.
Other information
Campaign starts at level 1, and the GM has assured us that we will survive to 2nd level unless we do something really, really stupid
25 point buy, max HD at 1st and every odd level, average HD at every even level
Two traits+one campaign trait, no drawbacks
WIP sheet here (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=859367)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
