Going with Thief racket, 18 Dex, 16 Chr. Let's me trip, feint, cast a spell, demoralize, or just attack depending on the situation. Also love the unorthodox combination of rapier and kukri (which I'll envision as some over-engineered knifey-thing) to fit the flamboyant and eccentric persona of the character.
Glad I reached out to the community. I came up w/ this character concept before I had even heard of Pathfinder. Cool to him come to life mechanically in a way that looks to be pretty viable in game. Thanks all!
