I tried to make a build, but it turns out that the best time to take a Sand Shaper is level 7. The extra level 1 and 2 spells are mostly rather unimpressive, while the extra level 3 spells are what really turn the build into something worth playing.
So I would suggest Sand Shaper remain a PrC available only on request, for those who beat the NPC level cap.
Sand Shaper is amazing, but not at very low levels basically.
I played a Sand Shaper once, but the game started at level 8 or 9. It was quite good then! I found the Sand Shaper spells to be mostly unimpressive, but their sheer number meant that I always had backup AoE, backup save-or-die or backup-buffing whenever needed. Therefore I could have more freedom with my spells known and WBL. Totally worth the lost spellcasting level !
As you can see in the following quote, the main high point of the class is in level 3-6 spells.
See for yourself. Good spells are bolded. said:

Never mind, then. Training the hard way it is.

Goldfish aren't very inconspicuous. I would go with random merchant disguises instead.

Any wares we should sell to make our story more legit?

We could just be scouting out a new market before determining whether we would make the investment in the area, if anyone asks.

The character of the lord is just as important here, given she is probably a very filial girl.

So something like
[] If anyone asks we are a merchant looking for a new market to invest into and Tarth seemed promising.
Would this do?
[] Rumour regarding the Lord Tarth. Is he a kind lord? Cruel? Just? How he feels about his daughter running around like she does?

Both of those work, and make sense for a merchant to be asking about before he makes an investment in a new market.

Just a merchant, we've played the part so often, besides actually also being one, that we can leave the specifics in the air.

The mental image of someone going "Oh yeah? Then where are your wares, 'merchant'?" And then Viserys pushing a stall stocked with random bullshit he pulled out of a dungeon from his cloak won't escape me.
I legitimately think this would befuddle diabolic interrogators who can't decide if they should request tax assaying documents or if perhaps they got yanked into a reality marble slash soul trap.

Since she's a Dex fighter a finessable weapon might be better?
I could swear we already gave her one of those.

The current list seems fine by me.

I can delete it. It really isn't important and we can make a reason that would convince any doubters with our diplomacy. Removing now.

Yeah, good point. Maybe just a short sword? I don't see her fighting with a rapier.
We did give her a PfE item, but I want to give her another one with a +1 Charisma bonus to push her Charisma up to 18. She can lend or give her old one to someone else. Oops, left off the +1 Charisma on the PfE ring. Adding that to the list.
EDIT: Also added a +1 Mithral Heavy Shield to the list.

Are we arming her for war? Jesus a Razorsharp Adamintine Shortsword and a Mithral Shield? Should we give her a bag of holding too?

It feels kind of awkward, swapping amulets like that. She's probably attached to the old one.
Why not a pretty bauble? A tiara, a brooch, an earring?

Chibi knight Brienne will probably look adorable, with her tiny Small Shortsword and Shield.
