Rogue-7 Beguiler-4 Dragon Disciple-2.

I use two shortswords, one +3 the other +2, 7d6 and 6d6 Sneak through enchantments and crystals.

Two Weapon Fighting and Improved.

Being a homebrew creature, I get a gore attack at 1d8+3. Bite-1d6+3 Claw-1d4+3.

Is there anything that I can do to add damage? I plan on getting Craven for my next feat, but other than that, I have no clue. I'm looking for more damage out of Sneak Attack. I must use shortswords for a blade...roleplaying reasons.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

...I'm looking for more damage out of Sneak Attack...

Should read "...looking for more damage while NOT Sneak Attacking or Flanking..."

To answer your question, I would recommend using those 8+INT skill points on knowledges and take knowledge devotion. In addition, try to trade the +3 shortsword for a +1 collision shortsword.

To not answer your question, it seems more effective to make it almost impossible not to sneak attack something. The Island of blades stance from ToB comes to mind. Being (greater) invisible is also a pretty reliable way of gaining sneak attack unless you're fighting high CR outsiders. (In which case, just flank them.)
