So, I have been playing my Kitsune fox shape character for a while now I was looking for some feedback on it. It uses fox shape combined with mouser swash+some other goodies. So here goes:
Don Diego de la Vega(aka Zorro)Confession: I did steal the name idea from Taenia here on the forums.
Mouser Swashbuckler/Snakebite Brawler/Urban Barbarian/Mutation warrior fighter
Stats with kitsune mods: STR: 8 DEX: 18 CON: 14 INT: 8 WIS: 14 CHA: 14
All level enhancements and item enhancements go in dex and with mutagen and rage my dex bonus absolutely skyrockets
Traits: Berserker of the society, Whatever the will trait is called
Now, I cant remember what my original level order was so I'll just wing it.
lvl1 Swash(mouser) 1: Weapon finesse
lvl2 Barbarian(urban) 1
lvl3 Barbarian(urban) 2: Extra rage powe(lesser fiend totem) Ragepower: Lesser abyssal blood
lvl4 Brawler(snakebite)
lvl5 Fighter(mutation warrior): Piranha strike, Fox shape
lvl6 Fighter(mutation warrior): Combat reflexes
lvl7 Fighter(mutation warrior): Snake style
lvl8 Fighter(mutation warrior): Snake sidewind
lvl9 Fighter(mutation warrior): Snake fang
Gear so far: Belt of Incredible Dexterity +4, Furious agile AoMF, Gloves of dueling, Headband of Intelligence +2, Ring of eloquence
Man, I wish there was a better way or a format or something to post your character here.
Anyways there it is I realize 12 rounds of rage is a little low but so far with clever use of barbarian chew it hasn't been a problem.
This build originally had MoMS monk and monkey style but that version ran into the sand with the errata. Any suggestions? The plan was to go for bodyguard but I feel like the mouser ability is as much of a deterrent as is needed for enemies not to attack my friends.

Help me understand this.
- Fox Shape makes you Tiny: +4 DEX...but 0' reach (so must enter foe's square to attack, triggering an AoO)
- Mouser's Underfoot Assault softens that some--you can enter their square for free if they attack you and miss--but it seems you still suffer an AoO whenever you want to attack a new foe. Am I missing something? (I suppose you can use a blue scarf swordsmaster's flair to extend reach as long as you have enough panache to spend on it.)
Am I missing something?
---EDIT---
Oh! And Eldritch Guardian for a Mauler Fox Familiar seems *totally* were retraining for.
I want to see the tiny fox PC riding into battle on the back of a pony-sized fox familiar! ;-)

I'm not quite sure why I took the brawler level. I think maybe I was planning on mixing unarmed strikes with my natural attacks when i got enough static bonuses and for a while I was playing a lot with a bard. I might retrain it to a fighter level anyway. Any good Advanced weapon training options? I feel like Weapon specialist might be good if i decide to get weapon focus/specialization. Versatile Training might be good as well for some skills.

You can make an acrobatics check to enter a foes square if you are tiny.
Hmmm, can you cite rules to support this? Acrobatics can allow one to "Move Through Threatened Squares"...but that's entirely separate from entering an occupied square which (as I understand the rules) still triggers an AoO...unless there's another special ability in the mix here that I don't understand.
For more on the general rules, the top answer on this question is very thorough (and quotes from an FAQ that I think removes any doubt that tiny creatures trigger AoOs when they enter an occupied space).
