Thoughts on a build? (Ratfolk Swashbuckler 8)


Advice


I am wondering if I should dip 3 levels into Unchained Rogue, to get some Sneak attack and free up a couple feats from Weapon Focus and Fencing Grace?

A 3 level dip into rogue will cost you 3 points of damage when using precise strike, a point of AC from nimble, one use of charmed life/day, one point of BAB, and the 7th level deeds (swift action dirty trick, full speed when tumbling). You gain a fair bit too but it's good to remember all the things you give up.


Reepacheep's daughter shouldn't be backstabbing anyway.


I think if you make use of scurrying swarmer pretty often in your party I would do it.
