I want to make a Kitsune Gunslinger with a dip or two in other classes.
I know he will not be close to optimization but I always value flavor over an optimal build. I am basing his background on the historical Japanese rifleman unit, the Ashigaru. I want to dip into Inspired Blade Swashbuckler to get Fencing grace with Rapier and allow him to use Charisma for his Grit/Panache pool. I also want him to loosely follow Cayden Cailean so Im going to dip into either Arcane Duelist Bard or Travel Domain Inquisitor for extra flavor and lower level spells.
Any thoughts to which caster class I should dip into? Im leaning towards Travel Domain possibly Sacred Huntsmaster Inq and taking the Two World Magic trait to pick up Prestidigitation for pure flavor and fluff.

...you sure you don't want to drop that dex down to 16 so you can have a constitution? It is not like gunslingers are in dire need for attack bonuses, and it is just 1 damage later on.
Two world magic doesn't qualify you for arcane strike. It adds the cantrip to your spell list, which makes it divine.
So much for arcane strike. It's not that big of a deal. As for Dex I want to keep it. Il use my favored class to gain hit points. Some guides recommend dumping Str for slinger builds.
It is a bit of a toss up here.
On the one hand, it looks like you are putting points into strength just so you aren't in the negatives.
On the other hand...you use armor (even if it is light), and muskets are relatively heavy. Since your AC bonus heavily relies upon a light load.....
