Help multiclassing a UC Rogue

Scarab Sages

Hi, I have been playing a "pure" Wayang 20 Dex / 15 Int / 14 Con don't-ask-me-for-other-stats-or-i-will-be-embarrassed PFS Rogue for 7 levels and would like to multiclass with any other class at level 8 when I get to 16 Int. I would like some ideas, the setting is a dungeon campaign and I thought of vivisector alchemist, but as it is a PFS game it is a forbidden archetype.
So, could you give me some ideas to get an interesting multiclassing (1 or 2 levels, no more) with or without archetype (i have none as rogue) and take advantage or my Int stat?
Thanks

What exactly are you looking to gain from the multi Class? Better combat ability? Spellcasting? Utility?

There are several options that might work for you depending on your goals. Investigator is a great option, especially empiricist. If you want a full bab class, Fighter has some good options. Lore warden works will with a high intelligence, and child of acava and azameen gives you full bab with wizard wand use. Wizard or witch would work well for spell access, and would open arcane trickster PrC.

I'm looking mostly for funny munchkinness xD
Lore Warden seems too limited, but could you link me to those children?

What's your general build? TWF? Ranged? What other areas are you (or do you want to be) competent in?

If you don't select a full-BAB class, may I suggest sticking it out at least until 8th level? Your BAB will go up to +6/+1, so an extra attack; Improved Uncanny Dodge; and an additional Rogue Talent, which can be quite potent.

Maybe go magus? It's a good warriory class that uses Int-based magic. Investigator and Alchemist are also solid options. Maybe consider wizard if you're interested in going Arcane Trickster eventually. I know you could go rogue 7/magus 4/arcane trickster 9 if you want, but I'm a bit unsure if you can do it with alchemist or investigator "casting."

@RainyDayNinja: I'm mostly a tumbling (canny tumble) and springing (jump talent, +10 movement boots) two-dagger-fighting rogue. But I wouldn't mind retraining TWF feat if it is for something awesome.

@Skyler Malik I can't retrain 4 rogue levels.

Maybe magus, but I think no Magus can go TWF. Could you suggest some PFS legal archetype? Do you need a minimum Char stat? Cause mine is 7..

Inv/alch doesn't qualify as arcane casters, anyway I think the campaign ends at l12-14 so it would be only multiclassing for 5 levels.

I was looking mostly for something to boost my combat abilities for the "final boss" each dungeon floor. Thought of ARcanists to get some tricks (like expeditious retreat) as they have so many spells, but can't see any suitable ARchetype.

Oh, could someone explain me what are "and child of acava and azameen" ? can't find any info.

Child of acavna and amaznen is a fighter archetype with 4 level arcane casting, based on the wizard/sorcerer list if I'm not mistaken. I don't have the book, so I can't confirm. But it should give you the ability to activate wands without a UMD check.

Though personally, I would probably go with something like alchemist, or urban barbarian/bloodrager for a way to boost your dex, since it boosts both your attack and damage.

It is a pity not having learned of that "child of acavna.." sooner, but now I can't retrain many levels. Although that seems like a very specific themed archetype.

I think I will go ectochymist alchemist as I don't like bombs.

When I two-weapon fight, I like the option of having one of my weapons being throwable. Then I can attack at range, free up a hand, and maybe two-handed fight (like with a dwarven waraxe) or for spellcasting.

Thanks everyone for the answers, I think I finally will retrain TWF into Bookish rogue ( I didn't know of this feat) and get minor and major talents. Dispelling attack at level 10 could be pretty awesome.
