I have been trying to refine this character for my first PFS session.
He is a rogue based on the idea of using shatter defenses to gain sneak attack without the need for flanking. I was also considering trading DOUBLE SLICE for SKILL FOCUS (INTIMIDATE).
I'm looking for any opinions on how to make this character better, and if everything is PFS legal.

I would really like to hear from someone who has some experience using a shatter defenses build about if it is even viable.
Or if it turns out to be a situation where everything that you CAN intimidate is so WEAK, that is doesn't matter, and everything that you REALLY NEED to intimidate, you CAN'T because the DC is just way TOO HIGH.
Flagged to get a useful title like "PFS Rogue advice".
Have you considered the Enforcer feat and the Blade of Mercy trait?
I don't think this build will work too well, though. You don't even *get* Shatter Defenses till level 8.

I have to agree, PFS caps at level 12, so basing a character on an ability you don't get until 8th means that you're going 2/3 of your career without it. Your low ability scores may very well impact your ability to accomplish faction missions. And a 12 Con is likely to get you killed since you will be in melee.
