Glaive wielding swashbuckler of Shelyn

[Helvellyn]

One of my players as asked me to come up with a polearm wielding swashbuckler, and wanting the polearm to be used two handed. Specifically, they want their character to be a swashbuckling worshipper of Shelyn and thus use the Glaive.

The approach below would appear to work as far as I can tell however I would certainly find it helpful if anyone can spot obvious errors or problems with it to let me know.

Clearly even if this works, it is not an optimum build especially for a Glaive with its low threat. Although elements of it can obviously be improved using Fighter Advanced Weapon Training (Trained Grace springs to mind, as can choosing a different weapon for example a Nodachi, the player concerned is more than happy with it if it complies with the rules.

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but I couldn’t find anything in my message board search that didn’t pre-date the changes to Kata Master as part of the 2nd printing.

Anyhow:

Feats and class taken:

Level 1 Swashbuckler
Level 1 Feat: Weapon Focus (Glaive)
Level 2 Monk: Kata Master/Master of Many Styles (Master of Many Styles not strictly necessary but it brings the whole package into play by level 3)
Monk Bonus Feat: Spear Dancing Style (Glaive)
Level 3 Fighter (Can be other classes but this brings it into play at level 3 for all races not just human)
Level 3 Feat: Two Weapon Fighting
Fighter Bonus Feat: Spear Dancing Spiral (Glaive)

Relevant Abilities and Logic

Kata Master (ACG):

Panache: At 1st level, a kata master gains the swashbuckler's panache class feature. At the start of each day, a kata master gains a number of panache points equal to his Charisma bonus (minimum 1). His panache goes up or down throughout the day, but usually cannot exceed his Charisma bonus (minimum 1). A kata master gains the swashbuckler's derring-do and dodging panache deeds. A kata master can use an unarmed strike or a monk special weapon in place of a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon for the purpose of swashbuckler class features and deeds. This ability replaces stunning fist.
This was changed in the 2nd printing to remove the opportunity parry and reposte. However, the changed wording in both the PRD and the 2nd printing also removed the old qualification that the monk weapon only qualified as a light or one handed piercing weapon for the purpose of deeds gained through the archetype.

Spear Dancing Spiral (WMH):

While using Spear Dancing Style, you gain the benefit of Weapon Finesse with the chosen weapon if it is appropriately sized for a creature of your size category. In addition, you can use any feat or ability that functions with a quarterstaff with your chosen weapon.

Logic

The quarterstaff is a monk weapon and therefore qualifies as a light or one-handed piercing melee weapon for swashbuckler deeds and class features, as per the kata master description.
You can use your chosen weapon from spear dancing spiral as a quarterstaff for any feat or ability that functions with a quarterstaff.
Therefore, whichever spear or polearm you take as your spear dancing style chosen weapon can be used with swashbuckler class features and deeds. Thereby allowing you to regain panache while wielding the weapon (In this case a glaive) two handed and use it for any deed that doesn’t have additional exclusions (Precise Strike for example also requires you to have nothing in your offhand so would still be disallowed).

Consider eventually getting Slashing Grace and Quarterstaff Master, allowing you to use it one-handed with precise strike and DEX to damage

You know how to balance a polearm perfectly, striking with artful, yet deadly precision.

Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (glaive), must be a worshiper of Shelyn.

Benefit: You can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with a glaive sized for you, even though it isn’t a light weapon. When wielding a glaive, you can treat it as a one-handed piercing or slashing melee weapon and as if you were not making attacks with your off-hand for all feats and class abilities that require such a weapon (such as a duelist’s or swashbuckler’s precise strike).

As a move action, you can shorten your grip on the glaive, treating it as though it lacked the reach weapon property. You can adjust your grip to grant the weapon the reach property as a move action.
