Hey guys, this was in a different thread, but I think it should have it's own thread.

I am about to level up to level 7 in a rogue build (rogue5/swashbuckler1) but am unsure what feat to take (TWF rogue planning on dipping shadow dancer for HiPS as soon as possible). I've heard that daring outlaw is good?
Current feats: Weapon Finesse, TWF (ITWF included as homebrew), Craven, Combat Reflexes, Dodge (PF version)

Also, what feats, items and classes should I be looking at for future level ups?
Had a look at the handbook and Bunko's and the 3.5 essential items, but still unsure.

EDIT: Just for clarity, we are playing 3.5 with a bit of homebrew, but nothing relevant aside from the Dodge change and feats at odd levels

It depends on the optimization level of the rest of the group. For TWF, bonus damage is a little underwhelming, and it suffers from the same issues any Sneak Attack build has.

I'm a big fan of Staggering Strike (Complete Adventurer) and Double Hit (Miniatures Handbook). If you don't have it already, Travel Devotion lets you move + full attack for 10 rounds. Take it multiple times, if need be.

TWF OffHandbook (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?279079) has more advice, although I don't really cover Pathfinder.
