Kobold Ninja Cheese


Advice


As my title implies, I'm hoping to cheese it with a Kobold Ninja. Makes sense from a roleplaying perspective that a kobold would take up the art of the ninja to utilize their natural stealthiness to take out their enemies. However I got no idea how to cheese him in such a way that would be affective. I only have certain ideas of how I want to play him. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's some of the things I know I want him to be able to do.

1. Poisons. Most of our campaign's dealt with living creatures, with the occasional elemental thrown at us, so poisons would be my ninja's main way of hurting others. I considered a dip into Alchemy to make use of of alchemy crafting for this purpose.

2. AC Tank. Small sized creatures tend to be strange about being able to have insanely high AC, more so when they're specced into Dex. While I know a Kobold ain't exactly best in a strait up melee, if I intend to make use of Sneak Attacks I need to get into the fray sometimes too. Speaking of that:

3. Sneak Attacks. Right now my kobold ninja can be created at level 6, which at least gives me a sneak attack of a 3d6. Since I'm not really going to bother messing which his impotent 6 strength, those sneak attack bonus are all I got for damage dealing, along with poisons.

4. Skill Monkey. Right now we have no deft handyman, no one to disable devices, set up traps, sneak around, or anything like that. We have plenty of talkers but basically we need a rogue. And I do want this Kobold to be a Ninja, despite how awesome an Unchained Rogue now is. I may be willing to take a few dips however, really depends on the build.

I don't expect him to be able to do all of them (Though that would be awesome), but one or two would be great.

I also have a flat budget of 16000 gold for the purpose of buying equipment, I can get magical items but nothing legendary or such. It's a twenty-point build and I can get two traits. I'm only allowed to use Paizo stuff, though I don't need the books for it just a link to the d20 page.

Thanks for any help you can offer!
