Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread
I haven't seen a thread for this, so I figured I would start my own. Ask advice-related questions here that are maybe too short or simple to really require their own thread. I'll start:
I'm wanting to do the typical weeb build and make a character from Ruroni Kenshin (it'll be one of the following four: Kenshin, Hiko, Sojiro, or Hajime Saito). Since katana use + Slashing Grace is a feat-intensive path, would it be better to take one level in Kensai for the free proficiency + Weapon Focus, which would allow me to have Slashing Grace at level 1 (as a human with the bonus feat for Finesse) before going into whatever my main class ends up being (which is a separate question since there are a lot of "meh" choices but not a lot of great ones)?

Sure. You still need a swashbuckler or daring champion level to actually finesse the katana. Slashing Grace lets you replace the damage with dexterity, but not the attack roll. It specifically allows you to treat it as a one-handed piercing weapon, which swashbuckler/daring champion's finesse would allow to be finessed.
