    Can't take weapon focus @ 1st level, it requires a +1 BAB.

    I made a similar build, but with a spread out 4 dip into Barbarian (Invulnerable). Taking barbarian at 1st gives access to weapon focus, plus esoteric weapons (kukri? yeah, that's nice for this type of build). Also power attack / dual strike would work well; though you'd have to get a 13 str for that - so just an alternative thought.

    If you do stick with daggers, consider River Rat instead of Deft Dodger. Your Ref save will be ridiculous anyway. +1 damage with all daggers is pretty sweet.

    It's Pathfinder. The +1 BAB requirement has been removed from the rules. Also, Rogues can take Weapon Finesse as a Rogue Talent (Finesse Rogue). But this means surviving lv 1 with only STR to to-hit.
