Your build has a lot of problems.

First off, Sap Master isn't going to work for multiple reasons. Feint will not activate Sap Master. Feint simply denies the target dex, it does make them flat-footed, which sap master requires. Also, Weapon Versatility alone is not enough to activate the sap line, you have to be doing bludgeoning non-lethal damage, and you don't have the bludgoner feat. Expect table variation on if bludgeoner will work on a non-bludgeoning weapon when using weapon versatility.

Secondly, you are using mounted combat on a mount that does not have class features. A single fireball will shut you down.

Finally, it's bad form to favorite your own posts.

Sap Adept: Whenever you use a bludgeoning weapon to deal nonlethal sneak attack damage, you gain a bonus on your damage roll equal to the number of sneak attack damage dice you rolled.

Sap Master: Whenever you use a bludgeoning weapon to deal nonlethal sneak attack damage to a flat-footed opponent, roll your sneak attack dice twice, totaling the results as your nonlethal sneak attack damage for that attack.

Neither of those say anything about my opponent being flat footed. They only require that I deal non lethal sneak attack damage.

As far as mounts go there are a number of mounts that can be purchased that are much more hardy than a simple horse so despite not having a class feature its not actually that hard to get a mount that can take a couple hits. I just didnt want to add the damage of a mount to my dpr. Woolly Mammoth/Rhino are the first two that come to mind. each adds a fair amount of dpr.

I favorited my own post by accident I was trying to edit it and thought the + would be a menu of some sort.

You are correct about one thing though. I did forget that I would have a penalty to attacks for dealing non lethal damage. So I would switch the trait The Vessel Between for Weapon of Peace (Which overall changes my to hit to 2 less).

Edit I cant read appoarently... Not last night and not this morning... Sap master does require flat footed so we take the Scout archetype. Allowing our charges to treat the opponent as if he were flat footed

Edit again: The reason I took half orc was for skulking slayer... I could just use scout and lose 6dpr go human and get the bludgeoner feat. SO the build will still work as intended.

Rogue (12) Skulking Slayer
Half Orc
Str:18+2racial+3attribute
Dex:10
Con:10
Int:10
Wis:10
Cha:10
Feats:
Power Attack
Mounted Combat
Spirited Charge
Ride-by-Attack
Death or Glory
Furious Focus
Vital Strike
Weapon Focus Lance
Weapon Versatility
Sap Adept
Sap Master

Traits
The Vessel Between
Heirloom weapon

Mount:
Whatever

Weapons:
Lance

Combat:
This build is predicated on using unexpected charge as a swift action to feint which should auto succeed even on a 1. Now we get sneak attack damage on every charge. Because of weapon versatility we get to deal double sneak attack damage.

The Attack:
+23 6d8+72 6d6 Sneak 6 Bleed
This results in 143dpr not counting bleed. For a total of 465 with bleed over 3 rounds

Sadly not enough damage but I got a couple ideas while I was building it. So I will edit or post another.

I cant figure out how ot post a topic so maybe someone can tell me here..... I am a player and I saw the guide to korvosa and I didnt want to spoil anyting fso I was wondering if it is okay if I read it.... My DM is unavaiable for the next two days otherwise I'd just ask him
