Thinking of making up a gnome swashbuckler/skald or swashbuckler/bloodrager. To get the dex to damage with one handed piercing damge.
Any suggestions?
My suggestion is that if you aren't wedded to the idea of a Scizore for stylistic reasons, find a different weapon. It's crit range is awful (x2 on a natural 20) and you get a -1 to hit.
Also, there is no way to get dex to damage for it. Swashbucklers don't get that as a class built-in... you need to take the "Slashing Grace" (1h slashing weapons) or the soon to be released "Fencing Grace" (rapiers) feats to get that. So since a Scizore is neither a slashing weapon nor a rapier, no dex to damage.

I meant to hit, sorry. Using swashbuckler finesse gets me dex to hit. scizor gets me 1d8 damage, rage buys me another +2 to hit and damage, so not optimal, but could be a fun build.
And I get to use cha as int for combat feats so i get to dump int.....
