Best dips for a high DEX & INT character?

[Rycaut]

While dipping a couple of levels is widely debated assume for the moment that I do want to dip. Also note that this is for PFS play so archetypes that are banned in PFS play are out of consideration.

What are people's favorite couple of level dips? In this case the character started as a fighter but clearly two levels of fighter gets a lot of weapon and armor proficiencies (depending on archetype selection) full BAB and two bonus feats plus bravery (or additional feats instead of bravery if you take an archetype)

So what do people like to dip into?

Clearly monks for two levels if you are lawful even with a very low WIS offer a big boost to saves, evasion and likely a lot of bonus feats and special attacks (depending on the archetype you choose - which offer a lot for dipping over the base monk)

Rogues offer a ton of skills, sneak attack and evasion for a two level dip (plus one rogue talent though most aren't as nice as a full feat IMHO)

Certain Wizard schools offer some intriguing special school features and open up wands for future use (wands in PFS are easily obtained) though at the expense of a point of BAB and you will have to consider arcane spell failure if you fight in armor (but this could also open up eldritch knight as a future option)

Magus has some nice features but likely is better as a primary class perhaps with a dip into a full BAB class for the feats and BAB progression.

Sorcerer offers the sage option and perhaps if crossblooded could open up Dragon Disciple..

What other dips do people like?

I would also say ranger and inquisitor is nice for the abilitys.
Ranger for the favorite enemy and combat style feat and 6 skillpoints and weapon and armor profs and 2 good saves and inquisitor for Domain, judgment 1/day, monster lore, orisons, stern gaze,cunning initiative, detect alignment, track also rather nice and spells and skillpoints ;-)

I like Urban barbarian. Good set of class skilla and being able to add to DEX while in a controlled rage can be awesome for a dex based character.

Dawnflower Dervish Bard (from Inner Sea Magic) also does well

Ranger... TWF without DEX requirements...

High dex and int always makes me think alchemist even with pfs banning brew potion you get several bombs and quite a few nice buffs for little pain. With the infusion discovery you can also grant buffs that no other caster can share like an infusion of shield to the 2 handed maniac :)

One level of Wizard with Divination, Foresight subschool. Get the awesomeness below. Plus skills and spells. But you do loose a BAB.

Forewarned (Su): You can always act in the surprise round even if you fail to make a Perception roll to notice a foe, but you are still considered flat-footed until you take an action. In addition, you receive a bonus on initiative checks equal to 1/2 your wizard level (minimum +1). At 20th level, anytime you roll initiative, assume the roll resulted in a natural 20.

Prescience (Su): At the beginning of your turn, you may, as a free action, roll a single d20. At any point before your next turn, you may use the result of this roll as the result of any d20 roll you are required to make. If you do not use the d20 result before your next turn, it is lost. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Alchemist will let you use Mutagen to buff dex for a short time even further. Or be a Mindchemist for the same deal except with Int.

Dawnflower Dervish Bard 1 gives you free Dervish Dance feat, which actually affects attack AND damage. But most people need to spend a feat on weapon finesse to qualify anyway. But with this dip, not you, my friend!

Teleportation (Conjuror) 1 gives you a swift action Su teleport a # of times per day based solely on Int, not class level. Nice for escaping grapples.
