The system? Pathfinder.
The situation? Unknown.
Hotel? Trivago.
Aaanyways. I'm looking to create a scout/skillmonkey character for a potential upcoming game. We usually run with all Paizo, DSP, and Spheres, with anything else usually allowed but requiring a look-over. Should be level 3.
Currently I've got a Hummingbird (Bloodforge Infusions: Feathers and Fur) Tengu with Carrion Sense who took a bunch of extra traits, drawbacks, and major drawbacks. Empiricist Investigator, with Student of Philosophy, Bruising Intellect, and Cunning Liar. Also has Weapon Finesse, Deadly Agility, Vestigial Wings, and Shape Veil for Sheikh's Spectacles (+2 Perception and at-will detect magic).
Thing is I kinda want Darkvision, which Tengu don't get, and a full version of Scent would be nice as a scout. Quite honestly this is theoretical, I don't have much experience as a player, mostly a DM.
The Zoog from Sandy Peterson's Cthulhu Mythos are actually perfect (and adorable), but do you think they're a little too powerful? I'd drop Vestigial Wings (am kinda bummed there) but it would give climb speed, Darkvision, Scent, Burrow, pretty juicy stuff for a scout.
TL,DR;
1) Are Zoog too imbalanced for a player race given all DSP and C7S races are allowed?
2) Are there any other good races with mobility and Intelligence?
3) Are there any tricks or items I've missed that would be useful?
4) I always wall of text, sorry -\_(°o°)_/-
EDIT : I'm going to go with the Castilonium's advice - Zoog Martial Mageknight 1 / Empiricist Investigator 2, I have an empty feat slot though, any suggestions? I already have Finesse Fighting + Deadly Agility.
