I'm looking at the Ankou's Shadow archetype from Legacy of the First World and it sounds like a really fun class to play for PFS. I've been wanting to make a new Dex-based melee fighter for a while now and I think this is the way I want to go. That said, I need some advice on some stuff.
First, I'm strongly considering two levels in Ninja for vanishing trick. Not only is it thematically appropriate but it allows me to get a few extra d6s in with sneak attack on a more regular basis.
As for playstyle I'm thinking I'd move in and as part of my move action deploy my shadows for flanking, make my attack, then use vanishing trick to disappear. from then on it's full attacks and using Ki for an extra attack.
My biggest questions are what race I should play as with this style and what kind of combat style I should be going for. My first thought was a halfling with Slashing Grace, but maybe TWF would be better? 16,000 gp for two +1 agile weapons will be expensive though.
What feats should I be looking at, other than Weapon Finesse? Accomplished Sneak Attacker would be good if I can fit it in, but based on suggestions I may have a lot of feats open or I might be feat locked.
Thanks.
