Thanks again everybody for the advice. It was a big help and I appreciate it.

For an elf, my wife started with stats of 14 Str, 17 Dex, 12 Con, 14 Int, 13 Wis, 8 Cha. If you aren't using the Lore Warden archetype, you may not see the need for that much Int. So maybe something like 14/18/12/12/12/8.

For a human, probably keep the same array, but without the Con penalty or Int bonus, so 14/17/14/12/13/8. For either one, you could dump Charisma all the way to 7 for a couple more points to work with.

Is this for Pathfinder Society Organized Play? If so, you'll probably want to invest in some Knowledge or other scholarly skills.

No it is not for Pathfinder Society, just my brothers and I. We finished the beginner box scenario and are about to start a longer campaign.

Thank you for the build advice, btw.

For rapier-style fighting, you'll definitely want the ACG and probably Advanced Class Origins for the Fencing Grace feat as well. But you can play a pretty good Dex-based fighter with mostly Core if you go with an Elven Curved Blade

My wife is running one, and even with only 14 Strength and Power Attack, because it's a two-handed weapon, she hits hard for a Dex-based build. At 6th level, she's hitting at +12 for 1d10+13, with a 15-20 crit threat range. The only non-core element she uses so far is the Lore Warden archetype which boosts her skills and Combat Maneuvers, at the expense of armor and shield proficiencies she's not using anyway.

Using a 20pt buy for this kind of build, what would you suggest?

Again thank you. I will probably wait on this idea until I have more resources then. Thanks for the advice!

OK, thank you. Something I had thought about was the Weapon Master archetype using a rapier. Is that something that would be feasible or would it just not do well?

Hey I am pretty new to Pathfinder, and I am trying to make a good dexterity based fighter. I only have access to the Core Rulebook and the Advanced Player's Guide. Any and all advice is appreciated, and I am specifically looking for a swashbuckler type from the Princess Bride movie, like the Man in Black or Montoya.

Also this is the first time I have posted here, so I apologize: f this is the wrong area.
