Hello there,
I'm going to play a Campaing that follow some peculiar rules:
- 21 Attribute Points;
- 3 Extra Class Skills (Choose Any and gain 1 Rank on it);
- I have an Extra Feat of the following: Improved Unarmed Strike, Quick Draw or any Tiefling Racial trait.
I'm a Beastbrood Tiefling (didn't need to burn a Feat to be one) and I was looking to some cool concepts. Oh, the DM let's me get Rogue Archetypes as a Ninja replacing Poison Use and No Trace!
I really like the idea to dual wield Wakizashis, and the Thug + Enforcer with Blade of Mercy Trait to do something like Kenshin in Samurai X.
But i'm little lost in what can I build into. The Campaing starts at level 3.
Any help will be appreciated.

Sadly, Sap Adept/Master only work with bludgeoning weapons. If you wouldn't mind going that path, it may be pretty good.
If you take Quick Draw, you could also use Wave Strike in combination with Visceral Threat to make you really exploit Intimidate.
Then you can shift towards Cornugon Smash and the Hurtful feat to get extra attacks off enemies.

Could use more information regarding what's going to be the style of the campaign and what are others going to play.
If the campaign won't let you sneak around a lot you're going to be missing out a lot.
On the other hand if someone else in the party would like to play a heavy melee hitter with a high crit multiplier weapon like a scythe you could bite down some pride of dealing big damage yourself..and instead be a huge asset in teamwork later on, when you can take enhanced criticals and butterfly's sting. Having a 15-20 crit range with all those extra attacks from ki and two-weapon fighting is bound to land a crit or two, which is going to mean a x4 crit if that scther can land at least a single hit right after you
besides that ask yourself if you'd rather spread out to more stats or spend a few feats more to go with weapon finesse, focus and slashing grace to depend solely on dex for your melee. Wakizashi is just conveniently light, slashing AND piercing
Personally I dumped a level in swashbuckler instead of waiting for finesse and that parry and riposte trick is working wonders
those 3 extra class skills won't be doing much for you unfortunately, you'd be better off with extra 3 skillpoints (despite already having a ton) unless you're very keen on getting weird knowledges and spellcraft for some reason
