Halfling build?

[Dindarr]

I am wondering about the viability of a dex based halfling build. The basic idea would be robe wearing, strong in enchantment, able to melee a single opponent or two. Basic idea of hold person/monster then poke him with something sharp that has high critical damage- End it quick. It is understood that I would have to take weapon finesse, "burning" a feat. Suggestions? For some reason I just don't feel like going drow. Too tall, perhaps. I appreciate all and any input.

Hold monster builds probably should go sorc. Bards are made to kill live prey. Also, not everything can be held.

Halflings get the str minus and no real advantages so I don't really see the synergy. I would have to see the full build to talk about viability.

Just to clarify; I should have said "CC focused" more than "hold focused." Basically primary focus enchanting, secondary focus melee. Can it be done?

For the concept I would go spellsinger
Str 10
Dex 16
con 14
int 8
wis 8
Cha 18

Feats:
Weapon finesse
Mental toughness
TWF
Improved crit pierce
ITWF
Gtwf

It won't be a very good build, but it won't suck either. It would be much better as a drow in both melee and casting.
