What is the flavor? I see the two Rogue archetypes you mention at pretty much opposite sites of the Rogue spectrum, so what is the flavor you're after?

Sorry, I should have been more clear about that. I was thinking of a face-y rogue, but with enough damage output to make it worth it. I just liked the flavor of the Dashing Thief combined with the Sharper, cause they seemed like they fit.

So, I know what you're probably saying- The two least powerful classes in the game combined? Well, I have one word for you- Flavor.

Anyway, I was planning to have an Unchained Rogue who dipped 3 levels into Swashbuckler for the panache and deeds. Then I found the Dashing Thief archetype, and was like, "Hey! Face dex-based melee with some cool jazz! Great!" I then read through Ultimate Intrigue, and found the Sharper rogue archetype, and was done. After doing some more research, I wasn't so sure.

So, I was wondering, would an Unchained Knife Master/17 Dashing Thief/3 be better than an Unchained Sharper/17 Dashing Thief/3?

For weapon load-out, I was thinking Two-Weapon fighting for both, and daggers/starknives for the Knife Master (For the crit range and d8 sneak), and gladii/wakizashi for the Sharper (wakizashi for the crit range and p/s damage).

For semi-solo combat, I was thinking going Combat Expertise (yes, I know) and Improved, Greater, and Two-Weapon Feint.

If you can give me some advice, that'd be great.
(I know that I could change from Dashing Thief to Flying Blade, but like I said, flavor)

Other Feats:
Combat Reflexes
Improved and Greater Two-Weapon Fighting
Exotic Wpn Prof (For the wakizashi)
Extra Panache?

I don't know about Rogue Talents either, so help with that would be great.

Starting level is first, and the adventure path is Curse of the Crimson Throne.

Besides, what might be cool might not tactically be the best.

I was thinking non-pally, and blood-ragers feel a bit uncivilized, so my choice was going to be a swashbuckler. The Dandy archetype looks cool, but I'm still trying to decide.

Are you looking for just a normal vigilante or are you thinking of using some archetypes to pick up more magical abilities? Teiatsu uses Charisma for their Ki Pool and abilities. Magical Child uses it for their spellcasting.

I was going to try and keep it pretty magic-free because I don't have much experience with spellcasters.

Hey guys. I need some help figuring out a character concept. I going to be playing a campaign with lots of intrigue, so I was wanting to make a melee face. I was leaning toward a vigilante or swashbuckler, but I'm a bit of a noob (>200 hrs of play experience.) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
