College of Swords bard is fun, especially for a ranged build.

Personally, I went with a gnome Open Hand monk with the Tavern Brawler perk because Improvised Weapon and Throw are too hilarious not to abuse, especially when you barely come up to most opponents’ kneecaps. To that end, kneecaps are a weakness, and I exploited them.

Edit: At any rate, I highly recommend picking a class or race that has access to Speak With Animals. Talk to ALL the cats!
