Ancestry Feats (relevant only)

General/Skill Feats
There are no General or Skill feats that affect your weapon damage or healing. You could specialize in Medicine to reduce the need for spells between battles, and/or Athletics to enable you to shove, trip, and disarm better. You will probably want Incredible Initiative and Fleet, as they present ancillary benefits to you.
Your melee with a basic +3 m.s. glaive will look like:
-
- Melee speed glaive +34 (deadly 3d8, forceful, reach), Damage 4d8+10 slashing plus 1d6 good, 1d4 (cold or electricity) and 1d4 force or 1d6 good if you've cast a spell this round
Desirable Equipment
- +3 Major Striking Glaive (Speed, Greater Corrosive, Greater Flaming)
- Speed makes it far easier to to activate your Divine Weapon ability because you have one less action "spent" on attacking
- +3 Major Striking Glaive (Dancing, Greater Corrosive, Greater Flaming)
- This is obviously optional but I figured I'd include it for completeness.
- +3 Major Resilient Breastplate
- Belt of Giant Strength
- Greater Healer's Gloves (not really spells but worth noting)
- Greater Boots of Bounding (again not directly relevant, but useful for melee)
Using this equipment, your attack would look something like this.
- Melee speed glaive +34 (deadly 3d8, forceful, reach, critical 2d10 persistent fire, critical 6d6 shield/armor damage), Damage 4d8+10 slashing plus 1d6 good, 1d6 fire (ignored Resist), 1d6 acid (ignored resist), 1d4 (cold or electricity) and 1d4 force or 1d6 good if you've cast a spell this round
- Melee dancing glaive +25 (deadly 3d8, forceful, reach, critical 2d10 persistent fire, critical 6d6 shield/armor damage), Damage 4d8+3 slashing plus 1d6 good, 1d6 fire (ignored Resist), 1d6 acid (ignored resist)
