Thank you so much for plenty of ideas.

I think that I go with Rogue 2 / Fighter 1.

First I thought that Sneak Attack would not be most suitable ability, but having thought about it more, I started getting nice ideas how to incorporate into character's style.

For feats I will definetly take Combat Expertise and Improved Disarm. Dodge is quite likely candidate for third one (Level1, Level3, Fighter1), opening the possibility to go for Duelist.

For attributes I have following "rolls" available: 15, 13, 13, 13, 12, 11. My inital plan was to distribute them as follows (mechanically Tiefling, so DEX +2, Int +2, CHA -2):
STR 13 (+1)
DEX 15 (+2)
CON 12 (+1)
INT 15 (+2)
WIS 11 (+0)
CHA 13 (+1)

Therefore Weapon Finesse would not do very much at this point, perhaps later after having increased DEX.

From what they have said so far, it appears the new Cavalier base class maybe be exactly what you are looking for. They have said it will have more skills than a fighter. They have said that it will be equally adept at managing "high society" as it will a throw down with some baddies

Playtesting should begin in November so.....
 

@Noldo: If you go Rogue 2/ Fighter 5 for Duelist at 8th your going to end up with 8 feats at level 7 (4 standard, 3 Fighter, 1 Rogue talent). Weapon Finesse, Dodge, and Mobility are needed for Duelist. For the other 5 I suggest; Weapon Expertise, Improved Disarm, Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, and Spring Attack or Improved Trip depending on preference. Assuming at 4th level your going to put your extra stat point into Dex, giving you a 16+3, Weapon Finesse is incredibly worth it at your current level, giving you a +7 Attack Bonus with a Mwk Rapier at 4th.

@MerrikCale: Where is the info on the new classes as I am apparently blind and cannot find that or where to submit info to play test them.
