First Foray into Sorcery

Hello everyone.

Although I'm fairly well-versed in the basics of Pathfinder system, this is my first time using a spellcaster class so advice is most welcome.

Background information:
- I'm dropping into an ongoing PbP game.
- Its a settlement sandbox-ish game set in Faerun.
- Heavier emphasis on roleplay rather than combat.
- All official Pazio and Forgotten Realms content are allowed. I am not familiar with the FR content.
- Starting at level 6, fast advancement, 16,000 gp.
- 20 point 1-to-1 point allocation; 2 traits; up to 2 flaws optional for a feat or 3 skill points each, cannot be bought off.
- 18 max stat before racial bonuses, stat dumps highly discouraged.
- Multiclassing must be roleplayed and have an existing 'trainer' available.
-----

With that out of the way, here's what I've got so far. I'm not looking for a fully optimized build as flavor is more important here, but I don't want to make any rookie mistakes either.

Advice on Character Progression

Hello there. I'm new to the boards and still fairly new to tabletop gaming in general (I only have just over half a year of rp experience under my belt.)

Anyway I just joined an online PbP Pathfinder homebrew game and have already submitted my basic character concept for the game, a TWF rogue (scout archetype). I've talked with the other three players already and learned that they'll be playing a sword 'n board paladin, a wizard, and a cleric (patron unknown atm).

Here's her character sheet and first lvl::

MAGIC ITEMS
-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -

I'll be playing the role of the team's scout and flanker so I'm going for a fast, stealthy build. (Kind of like an assassin without the evil req.) I've got a basic layout of how I want my character to pan out up to level 16 (where I think we'll be ending the adventure), but is there any feat or talent that I may have overlooked or could switch out that would make her more effective in her role?

Also, items to look out for as well, can't forget that.

Note: Yes, yes, I know Shadowdancer is not an 'optimal class' to do more than a dip into, or so I've heard anyway, but I find it thematic and I like most of the abilities it has to offer. Anyway, any advice would be helpful, thanks.

(I'll check the thread in the morning. 'S getting late over here.)

Edit: Bleh, formatting goof on the sheet, sorry. Dunno how to fix that.
