holy tactician + summon shadow

[Siirvos]

Does the Holy tactician teamwork feats apply to the shadowdancers shadow companion?

If so, what would you say is a good teamwork feat for the shadow companion?

[Necroticplague]

Yes. Why wouldn't they? They're a creature that's on you're side, so their definitely an ally, so you can give teamwork feats via Battlefield Prescence. Bonded Mind for improved scouting could be pretty useful to the Shadow.

How would wild flanking interact with the shadow? Since the shadow only has its str drain natural attack, would the power attack bonus have any effect?

Nope. Power attack (and thus, wild flanking) only provides a bonus to melee damage rolls. There is no melee damage roll for the touch attack, only a roll to determine how much their strength is reduced by.

Ah, I suspected add much but want sure.

Now I'm trying to figure out ways to optimize the shadow... full bab and good hit die base class for the shadowdancer is a direct increase to the shadows base, but what are other ways to take advantage of its natural abilities?
