I'm thinking of using a modified version of this build for my new pixie. I'm still fairly new to HG, so I'd appreciate some advice.
I'm planning to use the following stats at creation/after subrace:
STR: 15/13 DEX: 16/18 CON: 14/12 INT: 12/14 WIS: 10/12 CHA: 8/10
The extra point in STR frees up a feat much later on (Great Strength 2). I'm not sure what I'll take in it's stead.
Pixies get dodge for free. That frees a feat. I'm thinking of taking exotic weapon proficiency so that I can use an unslaggable sai.
I'm considering taking 5 paladin / 5 bard so as to avoid the 20% XP penalty. I'll lose one AB. I would also lose one to all saves compared to the build, but the pixie's +2 CHA and the paladin's CHA-based saves bonus balance that out. Are there any other considerations?

I just realized that I can't start a paladin with less than 11 wisdom. This is going to need a rethink.

Going 5 Pal/5 Bard will not just lose you 1 AB, you'll also lose 1 attack per round (you need 16 BAB for 4 base attacks per round. Pal 5 = 5, Bard 5 = 3, SD 10 = 7, for a total of 15), so I recommend against doing that.
For your extra feats, I would probably take either Toughness or WP: Exotic in the place of Dodge, and Armor Skin in the place of the Great Strength feat.
Finally, If you go with WP: Exotic, Sais are nice in that they're unslaggable and they boost your parry, but Kukris have an awesome crit range and they're getting a nice boost with the still-planned update (Kukris will allow you to keep a higher AB on your later attacks once this change hits), and you have a decent discipline.
EDIT: To solve the Paladin issue, simply drop the extra strength and go 12/14 WIS.

I just thought of something: Have a look at My other SD build, as it will fit much better with Pixie than this one will. I'll work out a build for you and have it up in a few minutes, tho it'll be in a "condensed" format. Edit: Here's the Pixie SD I came up with. The build listing is a bit ugly atm, but the build gets 95 AB, 136 AC, and excellent saves while dual-wielding nunchaku, according to the build spreadsheet I use for speccing characters. Just be sure to make a [test] toon with it first before actually creating a character in the live mod with the build, since I have no way to test it myself. I'll see if I can't get the build listing cleaned up over the next day or 2, but it's getting late here and I need some sleep. --Arek
