Nezumi (Ratling) Rogue/Swashbuckler build help

[CMagnum]

Hi Playground
My friend is creating a Nezumi (Ratling) Rogue 4/Swashbuckler 1 for out campaign. We are looking for some ways to get the most out of his natural attacks. So, there are a few questions we have that we are hoping you could help us with.

1. He has 2 feats he can use. What is the best way to augment his damage output with each attack? Would improved natural attack and multiattack be the ways to go?

2. He has over 10k gold at his disposal. What would you recommend for items?

Thanks for your help

Daring outlaw is a must if he doesn't have that yet. It lets rogue and swashbuckler levels stack for the purpose of progressing sneak attack.

That's great, definitely gonna take that. Also looking into deepspawn or snap kick but they require feats that aren't really gonna help the build before they pay off.

Craven (Champions of Ruin) adds your character level to your sneak attack damage. Knowledge Devotion (Complete Champion) scales quite well if you have enough skill points to invest in Knowledge skills, and is still nice even if you can't afford more than a few ranks in some/all of them (Nature, Arcana, and Local are probably the best three, with Dungeoneering, Religion, and Planes all being kinda setting-dependent).

Ive seen a feat that lets a tail work as a hand. Savage species, I think. That should open up multiattack.
