(Those were rolled on 4d6).You still need some strength - if just so you don't become encumbered with a chain shirt. For the first couple of levels, the majority of your attacks will be with a rapier (single), not TWF. Once you reach 3rd level, TWF becomes an option - and indeed, almost a necessity to take advantage of the bonus to damage.Keeping your AC high is difficult, but important.Remember, you need a 15 Dex for TWF!May I suggest the following build?(28 point buy, as required)Human SwashbucklerStr 13 Dex 15 Con 10 Int 15 Wis 8 Cha 13Atk: Rapier +4 melee (1d6+1/18-20)Skills: Balance +6, Bluff +5, Climb +5, Diplomacy +5, Escape Artist +6, Jump +5, Sense Motive +3, Tumble +6Feats: Weapon Focus (rapier), Weapon Finesse, Combat Expertise.At 2nd level, the increase in skills to "synergy" levels will make them:L2 Skills: Balance +9, Bluff +6, Diplomacy +10, Escape Artist +7, Jump +8, Sense Motive +4, Tumble +9.At 3rd level, your feat should be Two Weapon Fighting.At 4th level, I'd increase your Int to improve damage, but it could also be Dex. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The Complete Warrior swashbuckler is an effective fighter and diplomat, with some excellent manuevering skills. You're not quite front-line material, due to an inferior AC, but you're pretty good!Cheers!</blockquote>
