This probably shouldn't be in the AP forum.
A Ruffian is going to have an easy time of it: a Club or Mace are both a d6 and would be trivial to treat as a kanabo or any other type of bludgeon, while the d8 Longspear is an especially appetizing option for certain martial arts-inspired characters. Ranged Rogues can choose crossbows, fire lances, and several other kinds of firearm.
Lastly, any GM with a heart should let you reflavor your Rapier or Shortsword (proficiencies granted by the class) to be a more regional form of blade - if you wanna call it a Karambit or Wakizashi, go nuts.
It's deeply frustrating that there's no way RAW to Sneak Attack with something like a Kusarigama.
