One, compiled thread to prevent me spamming the board with requests to look over builds. Just a series of builds for characters I'm considering. I'd like feedback, good or bad, as to the weaknesses or strengths of these (but more the weaknesses) of these builds. All have a full build in mind, including high level play.

Finesse Warrior

Race Grey Elf
Abilities Str 12, Dex 18, Con 12, Int 16, Wis 8, Cha 8

Progression
Swashbuckler 1: Weapon Finesse, Dodge
Swashbuckler 2: Grace+1
Fighter 1: Mobility, Improved Weapon Familiarity
Figher 2: Spring Attack, Dexterity 19
Swashbuckler 3: Insightful Strike
Duelist 1: Canny Defense, Iron Will
Duelist 2: Improved Reaction +2
Duelist 3: Enhanced Mobility, Dexterity 20
Duelist 4: Grace, Elusive Target
Duelist 5: Precise Strike +1d6
Duelist 6: Acrobatic Charge
Duelist 7: Elaborate Parry, Bounding Assault, Intelligence 17
Duelist 8: Improved Reaction +4
Duelist 9: Deflect Arrows
Duelist 10: Precise Strike +2d6, Improved Critical (Elven Thinblade)
Fighter 3: Intelligence 18
Fighter 4: Weapon Focus (Elven Thinblade)
Swashbuckler 4: Rapid Blitz
Fighter 5:
Fighter 6: Weapon Specialization, Intelligence 21

Assumptions: This build currently assumes Bounding Assault, Melee Weapon Mastery, and Rapid Blitz will become LG legal in the new LGCS. It also assumes access to a masterwork elven thinblade. Any advice for gaining access to such a weapon is helpful. I'd take any home region for this character, meaning that metaorgs are fine so long as the given access is "Core" or "Any".

Other Possibilities: I'm considering dropping Elusive Target for Improved Initiative. Combined with appropriate skill allocation, this allows for entry into Occult Slayer after Duelist is finished. Any thoughts?
