You fight with an aldori dueling sword. There is a Bear Form scimitar in the game; you can make use of that as well.

So here it is, non-minmaxed build for a change. Slayer build has both Shield Bash (lvl 3) and Two Weapon Fighting (lvl 4) ??? Weve taken Leopard mostly cause it gains AC/AB/Damage from just one Cats Grace, so we can have buffs too. Per your note, since you want to wear armor (less AC than monk in this game). The rest broadly falls into Barbarian hunter who assumed responsibility and some such. At least an alchemist to buff AC of your doggo. 3 of those at max Base Attack Bonus (BAB). Reach weapons are nice for a 2 handed build. Pretty much needs a decent scimitar (which a plenty) and a mithral armor to function.
