Hey all looking for pathfinder build advice. Here is my horrible Chimera of a build. Looking for ways to improve it, specifically getting Quick Draw at an earlier level without sacrificing too much, or getting more sneak attack options. Currently level 3, but we're at a point where we can rework the characters if necessary (or even reroll them as my wife did, farewell dwarf cleric, we shall miss your healing)

I'm currently using the favored class bonus for HP, but I could use them from talents instead if that gets me quickdraw earlier (Already used Combat Trick and Weapon Training, so not seeing a way to eat another feat) Rogue levels can be replaced by a similar class like Vivesectionist or even another level dip if it is provably useful.

Givens:
Race: Kitsune (alternate racial traits acceptable)
Class: Unchained Rogue (Knifemaster) as primary class, 1 level dip into Unchained Monk (Scaled Fist) and 2 Level dip into Paladin (Divine Hunter) (unless the CHA bonuses to AC and Saves can be sourced from another class)
Feats: Two-Weapon Fighting, Dazzling Display, Shatter Defenses

Sources: Any Pathfinder 1E (no 3rd party)
