I dunno, this build doesn't seem all that great. Once you hit chapter 3, you're better off tanking with a Wild Boar pet with the Bulwark pet build. AC of around 35 without any equipment, while this build at the same level has only about AC 23-26 sans gear.
Thanks for the comment! This was one of the first builds that I did that made me feel really powerful in the game, but it is weaker than many of the things I have done since. I also agree that a animal companion tank is the better option since they can tank while you do damage, however I do have a couple of points. Firstly, your numbers are incorrect. Without gear or buffs by level 4 you'll be able to get 28 AC (12 from Cha, 3 fighting defensively, 1 dodge, 1 crane style, 1 combat expertise) and good saves. The other thing is that you're comparing a 4 level starter build to 10 levels by the start of chapter 3. As I stated in the video there are many paths you can take this build from here. You could go Oracle Angel to get big 10th level spell casting by end game, or you could do what I did and go full tank with it and by the end of game get well over 100 AC (I think I maxed out at 137 against Inevitable Darkness in the DLC).
Bold choice!
I know this is an old comment, but I never responded to it and I just wanted to say thanks for being first comment on one of my videos.
