Sneak Attack +5d6 (Sense Vitals Spell can add +4d6 for +9d6 total)

Sorcerer Caster Level 14
Key Spells 
7 > DragonKind II 4/days (3+1 due to high CHA)
4 > Invisibility (Greater)
3 > Haste
2 > Sense Vitals

For skills just some for Dragon Disciple and Arcane Trickster, then max Persuasion

Feats are Intimidation Oriented : Cornugon Smash and Dreadful Carnage provide free Intimidation test, Thug Intimidate make it longer, Shatter Defenses allow to sneak attack shaken enemies (those who failed Initimidation test) You can add Intimidating Prowess to increase the difficulty of intimidation test but it’s already very high.

The idea is of course to transform Dragonkind 2 and get 5 attacks (+1 with haste, +1 Flurry of Blows ?) wich can all sneak with +9d6. 
If trouble you can quicken True Strike, Invisibility…

15th Inquisitor (Monster Tactician): Power attack, Teamwork feat: Coordinated Maneuvers

Explanation of Build
The focus on this build is spamming monsters at things and then follow in to melee. Loading up on buffs to cast on yourself, the party and the 3 pets.

It starts out with a 1 minute duration summoned dog, making the intro a breeze. By having Superior Summoning at level 3, means you get 1d3+1 as soon as possible making for a lot of meat shields for your party.
Any damage directed at the monsters is damage not directed towards you. It’s free real estate. Or in this case stat damage and health you don’t need to worry about.
From level 4 you can cast this 6 times a day and since it is 1 minute per level, you should only be missing monsters when something kills them.
Try to aim for the 1d3 summon for efficiency.

At level 5 you’re taking Boon Companion because animal domain gets the same penalty as rangers, gotta get this to get it up in level, the pet is level 2 when you get it at 4
With the summon Tactics at level 5 all of your monsters will suddenly mostly do 1d6 extra damage to things and at 6 outflank turns everyone with the feat into murder machines.

At 7 you’re picking up a feat tax, this is needed for Crane Style which turns defensive fighting from -4 tohit +3 AC to -2 tohit +4 AC

At 9 you’re picking up Combat Reflexes this is needed for Seize the Moment, which should stack with Outflank, potentially making an amazing chain of Attack of Opportunity against hard targets like trolls and the like.

At 11 we finally have the BAB for Improved Critical

Coordinated Maneuvers and Shake it off are interchangeable. Both are taken as it’s the last two good ones. I went for shake it off first.
The ones Coordinated Maneuvers would really have helped would have been wolf summons to help on the trip, the problem is that 12 is the last level you get to summon them.

The PFSRD for Axiomite and Bogeymen seems like neither would be using Combat Maneuvers. So grabbing the feat is mostly to help my Valerie and Amiri to trip things.
Since you are having summoned monsters everywhere, it pays off to have the teamwork feats on other melee characters.

/edit I had considered getting Coordinated at 3 instead of the extra 1d6, but the Smilodon from Amiri does 5d6 extra damage per round due to it, not to mention the extra 1d6 on anything else in melee save for the two Leopards. Making it win over the extra 2 DC on the trip from wolves.

As for the rest of the party, I wanted as many story characters as I could fit, I decided against the two provided clerics and hired one instead.

The full party I am running is this:
Monster Tactician

Cleric with Community Domain and Animal domain (Community domain gets 3+wis mod per day CLW with no maximum on +1 per caster level that also cures fatigue/shaken/sickened, which is great for reducing the amount of resting you do) The ward at level 8 is great for the overtuned story fights.

Valerie as full Tower shield specialist
Amiri multiclassed into (eventually 19)Sacred Huntsman
Linzi multiclassed into (eventually 19)Vivisectionist
Octavia with 1 rogue, Accomplished sneak attacker + wizard until arcane trickster opened up.

Valerie and Amiri follows the Teamwork feat progression of the Monster Hunter.

This gives me for frontline:
1d3+1 monsters with teamwork feats (Wolves if possible for trip)
1 Smilodon with teamwork feats
2 Leopards from the tactician and cleric for trip

PC Monster tactician + Valerie for extra tanking (usually charges casters with Exp Retreat for super charge range)

Amiri with enlarge person for extra reach following the pets around

Linzi and Octavia pew pewing with sneak attacks. Linzi with super tohit due to mutagens and crazy amount of feats from Vivisectionist. Octavia with ranged touch attacks.

Alchemists can buffs others with what is normally self only spells. So Linzi provides Shield for the pets and Exp Retreat to Valerie

Giving the 3 pets very good damage and AC with the amount of buffs Cleric + Alchemist spells can put out.

Suggest:

Max Dex: Max Chr

Has access to 24 scorching rays daily to imbue the bow.

Scorching ray : You blast your enemies with fiery rays. You may fire one ray, plus one additional ray for every four levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of three rays at 11th level). Each ray requires a ranged touch attack to hit and deals 4d6 points of fire damage.

and 5 Hellfire ray daily.

Hellfire ray : A blast of hellfire blazes from your hands. You can fire one ray, plus one additional ray for every 4 caster levels beyond 11th (to a maximum of three rays at 19th level). Each ray requires a ranged touch attack to hit and deals 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 15d6)

Each spell fires 3 rays as a free attack from your weapon, each ray applies a 10d6 sneak attack and with a hellfire ray it further splits each ray into two damage types both of which also get a sneak attack.

It is a stupidly broken build.

You can also try the pure caster version with a sorc.

1 vivi / 1 Rogue / 10 Arcane Trickster / 8 Sorc
You lose the extra bow attack + sneak dmg per round but you get more spells per day.

No build unless utilizing sneak attacks and those 2 spells can do half the dmg of these builds.

Explanation of Build 

The first few levels are rough. You are rushing Rogue to 3rd level so that you can get DEX to damage. However you are no worse than a normal rogue. You should also note thatcurrently power attack is bugged where Finesse weapons only get -1 attack +1 damage. Hopefully this is fixed soon. 

At 4th-5th level you pick up Paladin. This allows you to equip shields and is a huge buff to your saving throws (+3 Fort/Will + your CHA to all saves). Also, casters start becoming more prevalent around this time so you want those Will saves up. Don’t forget, against evil big bad guys SMITE is extrememly powerful. Sure you aren’t getting a big level bonus to damage but you are completely negating their DR.

6th level you hop back to Rogue for Debilitating Injury. I pick to lower their AC because your other abilities (see below) will be drastically reducing their attacks. But you still have flexibility.

7th level is the sweet spot where the build fully comes online. Before you are a tanky rogue with decent damage, now you are a debilitating powerhouse. Cornugon Smash means all of your attacks that hit get a free demoralize check. You are likely to succeed being your race bonus and optimized Persuasion. Enemies hit by you will be demoralized (Intimidate), Flat-Footed (Shatter Defenses), Sickened (Thug Brutal Beating), and AC penalized (Debilitating Injury) for a total of -4 Attack, -2 damage, No Dex to AC, -2 AC(-4 AC for you), -4 saving throws, -4 skill/ability checks. In addition, if your persuasion roll high enough they could outright flee in terror (effectively working like a stun with extra attacks due to Attacks of Opportunity).

8th – 11th are Fighter Levels. These are necessary to pick up your Teamwork Feats in addition to Weapon Training. Having Seize the Moment + High Dex means anytime another team member with this feat gets a crit, you get a free attack. 

Who is your teamate? When you get Amiri at lvl 1 immediately tuck away her big sword (it’s really a sub-optimal weapon) and use a falchion. Also multi-class her with 2-handed fighter and keep her that for a long time. She will still be slightly underpar of a custom built falchion user but it’s not a big deal. She should also then get Seize the Moment. She will only get 2 triggers due to her DEX but she is there to help you. At 10th level both of you will have 15-20 critical threat range and multiple attacks. Expect to trigger this teamwork feat a ton!

Weapon Training is good but way better with Gloves of Dueling (which increase it by +2 attack & damage)

12+ and it’s all gravy with extra sneak attack damage. Once you get Staggering Critical opponents hit by you could lose their full-round attack (since they can only take a standard or move action).

*note* Now as an alternative you could go STR based for better Persuasion (Due to Intimidating Prowess adding STR to CHA) and overall 2-Handed damage but would lose out on a lot of AC due to no shield and extra attacks from seize the moment due to low DEX.

The point to take away, is that we need fair competition to benefit consumers. The 3 existing telcos have been in dominance for so long, they can price anyway they want and everyone follows suit to the determent of the public.

This new player www.Circle.life is coming in to shake up the industry. Although they are subletting M1’s networks, they are still shocking the industry. When my contract expires this March 2017. This new player will seriously consider shifting. I’m also waiting for Samsung’s new phone as well.

The most interesting thing is that new offering is not a 2 year contract but a monthly renewable one. This allows a user to change his phone as and when he needs to. Like when he loses his phone, or some new bling phone catches his interest.

There is the 4th telco coming in. They may be doing something interesting to gain market share. It would be interesting to see what will happen.

I found these noodles in Singapore at the Korean shop next to Cold Storage in Parkway parade. They didn’t have any other flavors for this type of cover. It tasted okay after I tried it.

I posted this in a forum

In about a day I found about 300+ unique IPs accessing this picture. It think that roughly translates to about the same number of unique visitors browsing the main forum for the Kpop group IOI. It also provide a host of user-agent strings which was insightful of what sort of browsers were visiting the forum. I also had many IPv6 IPs accessing the picture which was interesting too.

Some time after I came back to Singapore. I visited several churches for various reasons, baptism of relatives and even Sunday service.

I noticed that some churches have overwhelming energy but not necessary in a good way. Normally, I am sensitive to energy, and have shields setup to deflect incoming energy that mine to begin with. In one church, the energy was so strong that I had to recreate new ways to turn back and ground off the incoming energy which was surprising at that time. Upon reflection, having a huge crowd allows it to create unintentionally from the people a common thought which was the intent and purpose.

First the energy always seeks to seek to implant their wishes into a person. Together with the right beat of music (65-72) beats per minute, it can be down right hypnotic. The music was loud and encourage the crowd to sing and dance to it.

One church in particular that I visited, City Harvest. When I was reading the energy. On surface value, it was peace and love and so on.

However, as I peeled off each layer (like an onion), the inner most core was domination and control. Which to me was not surprising as that church mandate to their believers is to convert as many as possible. That church has a younger crowd which is probably more susceptible to brainwashing. They have mandated large contributions to their cause and not doing so is frowned upon.

Eventually, I did the same energy reading on various other churches like the Catholic church Holy Family, Anglican church St. Andrew’s Cathedral and a few more. All these didn’t have such a negative core. In fact, the core was really love and positive family values, which was very nice in my opinion.

The point of this post, as with all religions, not all groups have your interest at heart.
