Sword and Pistol Rogue / Gunslinger Tengu

[sozin]

Would appreciate any thoughts on a character concept I'm investigating for a Skull and Shackles campaign - a cutlass and pistol wielding tengu pirate! The below is for the first 10 levels. By 10th level the cutlass is +4/-1, and the Pistol is +8. (Which is my primary issue with the build ... while colorful, the offense isn't so great.) Side note, keeping the tengu as a race is a fluff requirement for me.

Race: Tengu Stats (20 pt buy): Str 10, Dex 17, Con 10, Int 16, Wis 16, Cha 7
Traits: Buccaneer's Blood (+1 intimidate, Profession (Sailor)), Pirate Duelist (+1 on attacks of opp with light weapons)

Level 1: Rogue 1, with the Pirate archetype

• Feat: Weapon Finesse
  
• Abilities: Sea Legs, Sneak Attack +1d6

Level 2: Gunslinger 1, with the Pistelero archetype

• Abilities: Grit, Gunsmith, Up Close and Deadly +1d6, Deeds

Level 3: Rogue 2

• Feat: Two-Weapon Fighting (Cutlass is now -1 in the primary hand, Pistol is +3)
  
• Abilities: Evasion, Swinging Reposition, Sneak Attack +2d6

Level 4: Class: Gunslinger 2, Dex+1 (now 18)

• Abilities: Nimble (+1 AC in light armor)

Level 5: Rogue 3

• Abilities: Unflenching

Level 6: Gunslinger 3

• Abilities: Deeds - Gunslinger Initiative, Pistol-whip, utility shot

Level 7: Rogue 4

• Feat: Snap Shot
  
• Abilities: Uncanny Dodge

Level 8: Gunslinger 4, Wis +1 (now 17)

• Bonus Feat: Precise Shot
  
• Feat: Rapid Shot

Level 9: Rogue 5

• Feat: Sword and Pistol (this is what we've been building for -- requires Point Blank, Rapid, Snap Shot, and Two Weapon Fighting)
  
• Abilities: Sneak Attack +3d6

Level 10: Gunslinger 5

• Abilities: Gun Training (Pistol), Pistol Training 1, Up Close and Deadly 2d6

Thank you!!

EDIT: Thought that Cutlass was a light weapon; it isn't. Substitute the wakizashi for it.

I'm far from an expert on Gunslinger but isn't it difficult reloading with two weapons?

[sozin]

Eek! That is true. That might be a deal breaker for this build :-(

Found this thread which is pretty informative.

Choose the Pepperbox(6 shots) then Ranger spells; Abundant ammunition(1st) & reloading hands(2nd)Then for flavor add Named bullet(3rd) & greater named bullet(4th)

Weapon Cords will be quite the boon for you.
