Maximizing Stealth (PFS)


Advice

Shadow Lodge

For PFS, I'm want to get as many sneak attacks as I can by using stealth with the Shadowdancer's Hide in Plain Sight, the trait Desert Shadow, and Spring Attack.

I have a feeling that I should invest in feats such like Skill Focus [Stealth] and magic equipment like Shadow armor.

Right now, I'm only level 3. Any advice?

Hey there,
Recently started considering a Stealth build & saw your post :) if your shadowdancer is still in play consider the following or use it for a new character :)
^_^

Here's what I've thought of/found to max Stealth/sneak attack abilities so far:

Cheliax pathfinder companion book

Hellcat pounce feat
Prerequisites: Hellcat Stealth, Skill Focus (Stealth), sneak attack +2d6. 
Benefit: Whenever you attack and damage an opponent in the surprise round, you may immediately make a second attack against the same opponent using the same attack bonus. The target is not considered flat-footed against this second attack. 
Special: This ability only functions when carrying a light load or less. 

Hellcat stealth You are difficult to see in the light. 
Prerequisites: Skill Focus (Stealth), Stealth 6 ranks. 
Benefit: You may make Stealth checks in normal or bright light even when observed, but at a –10 penalty. Normal: You cannot make Stealth checks while observed.

Ninja lvl 2 has option to spend ki points to become invisible - 1 ki point per round Charisma-based
-can still be tracked by Scent & tracks so:

Conceal scent feat (Osirion pathfinder companion book) 
- creatures can't find you using their Scent ability

Trackless boots (Second Darkness pathfinder companion book)
3,500gp +4 stealth plus boots leave no trace like 'pass without trace' spell

Hope some of this helps readers of this post :)
P.s. GMs prefer you to have a PDF or printed book of each book you're referencing so they can read it & not 100% sure about whether it's all still legal for Pathfinder Society Play ... I think it is but will recheck again before I use it :)
