Okay, I have posted a couple character build threads these past few days. I am trying to determine what my first pathfinder character will be. I have two more I am considering, that I have not yet posted about... here is a request for input on one build. Primarily on starting ability scores; though I am open to any input. My main concern - should I go as listed below (12/20/10/14/5/12) or should I lower dex and raise STR and WIS (14/19/10/14/8/12)?

From here the aim is to move into Rogue with the Sniper and Bandit archetypes, focus on ranged combat with an obscuring mist around me at most times. I went with black cat for RP reasons, between that and the haunted curse... well, he just isn't a very lucky individual, lol. Feats will be Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, then...???

First feats would be PBS, Precise, and Rapid Shot, of course. :)
I'd go with something closer to the 2nd array, though I'd prioritize Con > Str > Wis, Con 10 is just really low...
Don't forget smoke sticks.
Do you expect to get to a high level? Sniper Goggles are expensive at 20,000 gp but kind of a no-brainer item once you can get them. Unfortunately, the item obsoletes the main benefit of Sniper archetype, unless your DM is willing to houserule that Sniper adds to the range you get +2 damage per die on. If he is not willing and you expect to level up fast, you may want a different rogue archetype.

I honestly doubt we will ever see 5th level; but I am going to build him with the hopes that we do.
I was going with STR for both damage (composite longbow) and carrying capacity. While I tend to prefer having a hardy character, I don't always see the need to boost con all the time - and with this guy, who will be hiding in an obscuring mist shooting (thanks to water sight), I don't think it will be as much of an issue.
I was thinking it was too much sacrifice of the other scores to grab that 20 to start; on the other hand as I said I don't know if we will make it past (or even TO) 4th level... so...
