I'm thinking of playing a small race to use a mount I can ride anywhere
First thought is playing a strongheart halfling for the bonus feat
I intended to take wild cohort to obtain a riding dog as a mount (or buy a mount early on and get an improved familiar eventually though that'll cost me another feat
cunning insight works well with a charger using a lance (essensially doubles the damage bonus) and synergizes just as well with a valorous lance and power attack
since getting spirited charge is feat intensive, I'm considering just obtaining the feat from a magic item eventually though I'm not sure which one is the best to do that
eventually knowledge devotion should also help out this build (even more damage and a bonus to hit to compensate for power attack)
My question is, is this viable compared to making a manyshot archer ?
if I compare this Factotum to a paladin charger, a paladin's smite doesn't work vs most things
cunning insight works against anything
the Factotum is less MAD than the paladin
the Factotum is way more useful outside combat
I'm not sure how cunning surge would interact with charging (does my bonus attack count as part of a charge? should I just keep my IP for more uses of cunning insight?)
