# One of the strengths and weaknesses of PF and paizo as an outfit is the diversity of designers and hence creative minds, but they don't communicate with each other and some of their shit is literal shit.

Reposting from previous thread:
Sup /pfg/, I'm currently in a three-person campaign. Me, an Eldritch Knight wizard (because I didn't want to roll with a Magus), our party frontliner (Come And Get Me Not!WarcraftOrc Barbarian), and the cleric girl (Shelynite priestess).
We've recently come into possession of spell access to planar binding/ally, possibly the "entice fey" spell line as well, and we're all trying to decide what sort of outsider/fey to go with for regular support/backup. We're looking for some sort of party support/face character, and I'm wondering if you lot have any suggestions for stuff that's good enough to keep up, but not so good that it would outshine us all/stab us in the back. Preferably something that can look like a non-outsider if need be, since we might be taking them along fairly regularly.
We all tend to circle somewhere around the neutral alignments but leaning towards good, so succubi (while excellent face NPCs) probably shouldn't be the first choice, and we're not really comfortable with the idea of trying our luck on an Infernal contract. Are there any decent fey to look into, or is sticking with outsiders the best option? Any particular suggestions that might be useful?
For record, we're all 10th level right now, verging on 11th.

Do akashic veils interfere with magic items like incarnum soulmelds? I can't find anything about it in Akashic Mysteries.

Hey, got a question for anyone from DSP.
Does the coverage of the Hawkguard's Defensive Focus increase like normal? I know it starts at 15ft (sans adjacent until 3) but does it increase? If it doesn't the normal Warder actually ends up with further reach than the ranged guy. The same question comes for the difficult terrain thing, but losing that would be fair enough, if annoying.

nope, you are completely free to use items in slots you have bound. That said, the Akashic Catalyst is a thing, so keep that in mind for your favourites.
