Thread Title : I need some advice on a character

Okay-
I am going to be playing a month-long, rather intense (b/c we'll be playing so often) 2E game, and I didn't want to come up with a really intense complicated character, b/c of group cohesion, and the short time frame. I ended up with a swashbuckler. He is a thief (I am not taking the kit, b/c I did players option for building him), who is dexterous, intelligent, and charismatic.
His stats are: 12, 16, 9, 15, 10, 16
Any recomendations for proficiencies would be very welcome. Thank you.

Tumbling, Dancing, Ettiquette, Rope Use from the PHB
Dirty Fighting ( Either S&P or Complete Gladiators, i think )
Fast Talking - Complete Thief

I think Lord Sot's are great suggestions... except maybe Dirty Fighting, unles that's the flavor you wanna go for in the character.

I think also Heraldry, Gambling, Bling Fighting, Disguise, Tightrope Walking and Riding-Land from the PHB and S&P would go well with a Swashbuckler character. Also, from S&P you should consider the traits Allure and Luck.

If you have the Ninja's Handbook you should consider Enamor and Escape (unless, of course, you already bough the S&P Escape Bonds ability)

By the way, if you want to give the character a lemon twist, maybe you should make him a crossbow specialist, having a cutlass -and- a stiletto for melee combat.
