I’m not completely stuck on the halfling, especially if the strength and dmg could be a problem. It’s more of the rogue class that I’m attached to.

Being newer I’m not sure how all the aspects will effect my character. I want to be able to do dmg, but still have the utility of being a rogue.

Sounds like a halfling has reduced dmg due to small weapons and potentially reduced dmg due to the Str penalty. This alone makes me think I should switch race. Maybe to an Elf.

Sounds stat priority would be something like:
Dex
Con & Str
Cha
Wis & Int?

Newer to Pathfinder and looking for advice on ability score assignments for a Halfling Rogue for PFS Core Rule play.

I assume Dex then Str, but I’m not sure after that and what all things I should consider when making the assignments. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Imp Snap Shot + Combat Reflexes = Legolas

This also synergizes nicely with Ranged Trip and Relentless Shot. Talk your party members into getting feats that provoke AO's, like Greater Bull Rush.

Edit: You can also get Swift Drinker as a feat and maximize your action economy with potions. If you have the Adaptive enchant on your bow and you down a Potion of Bull's Strength, that can beef up your damage pretty well.

To your point my next feats were going to be:

For my bow, I don't have adaptive, but would like to get it. I only have Frost on my bow at the moment. Aside from adaptive and upgrading the base item enchantment (+2->+3, etc.) any Special Abilities that you consider must have? Second Chance seems nice, but is it worth the +4 bonus, considering 10 is the max?

I'm looking for advice on my build. I would like to optimize my hit and then damage as much as possible, even though the Archer archetype was used for roleplaying purposes. I am also looking for suggestions on:

1. Feats for levels 10-20
2. Weapons and ideal special abilities for them
3. Magic Items
4. Armor and ideal special abilities for them
