How would you build Arya? Clearly she should fight with a rapier. For race, I'm thinking halfling, unless your GN allows actual child characters. It would also be cool to give her a wolf companion, and at some point for her to buy a False Face.
What other features should an "Arya" character have?
Here's my prospective build:
Halfling (Fleet of Foot)
Inspired Blade 1/Slayer X
strength 6, dexterity 18, constitution 12, intelligence 14, wisdom 10, charisma 16
1: Fencing Grace, Inspired Finesse, Weapon Focus (rapier), deeds
2: Studied Target, Track
3: Animal Soul, Power Attack (Slayer Talent -> Ranger Combat Style)
4: Sneak Attack +1d6
5: Animal Ally (wolf), Step Up (Slayer Talent -> Combat Trick)
6: 2nd Studied Target
7: Boon Companion, Slayer Talent?, Sneak Attack +2d6
8: Stalker
9: Improved Critical (rapier), Slayer Talent?
10: Sneak Attack +3d6
11: Risky Striker, Assassinate (Advanced Slayer Talent)
I like the Inspired Blade dip, both to get Fencing Grace at 1st level, and because I think deeds like Dodging Panache are a good representation of "water dancing" (which is the same reason for taking Step Up.)
I feel like Slayer is a good class for her, but I'm having trouble coming up with good talents to take.
Any ideas? Aspects of her character I should incorporate? Ideas for slayer talents that would work well?
