I'm having to tweak a PFS character due to the recent mothballing of the Alchemist (Vivisectionist) archtype.
And apparently my google-fu is weak.
What are the classes that grant Sneak Attack?
I know of:
Rogue or Ninja
Alchemist (Vivisectionist)
Bard (Sandman)
Arcane Trickster PrC -
not what I'm looking for, as the build is on a Fighter chassis
Surely there's something else?

Was sneak attack the main reason for the character? If not then you can build behind one of the other concepts for your character.
Thanks Cartmanbeck.
@Wraithstrike - Sneak attack is a secondary schtick. He was to be a Halfling Fighter 9/Alchemist 3. Bombs didn't interest me, but self-buffing did. I am not interested in Use Magic Device as it is non-reliable and a money-sink buffing. I'm not particularly interested in being a Rogue or Ninja either.
You might add that Assassin is not PFS legal either, as it requires an evil alignment.
I don't own paths of prestige.
Low Templar wouldn't be completely wretched, but that feat & skill tax (Mounted Combat & Ride, respectively) might be pricy.
Fighter/Bard might work.
Inquisitors are also good self buffers. Many of their spells and abilities are swift actions.
If self-buffing is the main goal then I would go inquisitor.
Going with a ranger that uses the guide archetype might also work.
@Wraithstrike - Unfortunately neither my characters Charisma or Wisdom is up to snuff for Bard, Inquisitor or (less so) Ranger. I'll just have to sleep on this awhile. He's only 2nd level, so I may just trash him.

We'll have the info from Paths of Prestige up on the d20pfsrd in about a week and a half. (Two week waiting period after release)
The is a Team work feat that give you 1D6 precision damage that stacks with sneak attack.

True, and while it should be included for completeness, but methinks it's pretty much a dog with fleas for PFS. One doesn't often sit at a table and find a partner who also has the teamwork feat.
@cartmanbeck - Thanks for the info. I love your work.
