Alright so right before all this quarantine stuff started happening I was about to join a pathfinder (v1) game. I decided i wanted to play a Swashbuckler. Its been a LONG while since I played pathfinder but I remember really having fun playing a Swashbuckler (even had a Swash/Pally build using spiked shields for a Gesalt game but i digress). I looked up a few guides and tweeked a few things to more fit my play style and my likes....then i noticed something. Carry Weight. All the guides I saw said to dump Strength (except maybe 1) to either a 7 or an 8 depending on point buy. I build my character, put in stats, buy stuff...then i notice it, the light load for someone with 7 Strength....is 23lbs. That is enough to carry my armor and a Rapier. That is it. No carry capacity for my buckler, dagger, a slashing weapon i got. What good is a high dex if your str is so low you cant bring anything with you?
So yes. I desire help fixing my build. Currently I chose the Musetouched Aasimar for the Dex and Cha boost and it's a 20 point buy. I've already said Muleback cords will likely be the fire magic item I invest in...but thats a few levels off as it is. Also I do have an animal that can carry things for me but I cant even carry all my most basic equipment with me currently.
Thank you.
Easy, don't drop your Strength that low.
With the Musetouched bonuses, you could have a well-rounded
10,16,14,13,12,16 with a 20pt buy.
Or, be a small race so your gear weighs less.
Or, buy a CR4 battle-trained Bison for 75gp, and have it carry you and your crap around.

I actually have a Horse and Small Wagon for all my stuff lol its when i get off of the Wagon thats the issue. Boosting it to 10 only gives me an extra 10lbs but that would give me the extra i need for my slashing weapon and buckler. Thanks

+1
The only tweak I'd make is that I would bump STR to 11 and drop INT to 12 unless you're going for a 13 INT feat (13 INT doesn't do much, but 11 STR is more carry capacity).
