Hello! I recently got started with a Pathfinder one-shot (maybe a two-shot) where the DM is pretty intent on us being pretty low-power (15 point-buy, basic equipment only with maybe a few trinkets here and there, and 2 traits) for a heist. I was planning on playing a Kitsune Mesmerist for the first time and got the okay on a house-rule giving Kitsune the same favored class bonus for mesmerist as they get for sorceror (+1/4 DC on enchantment spells they cast). I'm planning on being the party face (charisma as a primary stat and bluff, diplomacy, and intimidate as class skills help there) with battlefield control. I've pretty much got the selection of Mesmerist Tricks, spells, feats, and traits selected....which unfortunately leaves me with the most important thing of all left over: Stats!
I'm not much of a min-maxer (used to rolling stats admittedly) so I *really* need to try and get the best array I can here, unfortunately I've got 15 points to play with.....(that and I'm still debating taking a level of Gunslinger (Mysterious Stranger) in order to get some more combat power)
I very badly could use a second opinion as to what to go with for stats.....at the moment I'm thinking 15s in both Dex and Charisma and just average stats for pretty much everything else (maybe dump strength even more to boost one or the other) and taking any and all levelup stat points and dropping them straight into charisma
Feats: Improved Initiative, Spell Focus (enchantment), Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment)
Traits: Reactionary and Charming (am tempted to abuse cheese to take adopted (human) and use it to get a bonus feat, but that will likely piss the DM off)
Replacing Agile racial trait with Gregarious.
