Spoilers abound - ye be warned!
I'm prepping the above mod, and noticed the level 4 and 7 versions of Ruovarn, on p11, has a couple of errors in it. The earlier version of Ruorvan seem ok, as do his crew.
At level 7, he has a BAB of 5 (for level 7 Rogue), but has the feat Vital Strike, which requires BAB 6. This could easily be corrected by him taking a single level in Fighter, but that would of course have other effects, such as his Sneak Attack and skill ranks.
Also at level 7, his attack bonus with his scimitar is calculated wrongly. It is listed as +9. It should be +10 - 5 (BAB) + 3 (Dex, finesse) + 1 (magic) +1 (Weapon Focus)
The level 4 version seems to have the same problem - his bonus is listed as +7, but it should be +8 - 3 (BAB) + 3 (Dex, finesse) +1 (mwk) + 1 (Weapon Focus)
Level 1 seems ok.

Ruovarn is using a scimitar at all tiers (he's Kelish, ya know?) His crew is using rapiers.
A scimitar is a one-handed weapon and - unlike a rapier - lacks specific language allowing you to use weapon finesse with it despite it not being a light weapon. Hence he uses his strength modifier (+2) instead of Dex.
(The Dervish Dance feat has a prerequisite of Weapon Finesse and does allow you to use your dexterity on attack [and damage] rolls with a scimitar. Maybe he was planning to pick that up when ISWG was released in a few months. Until you meddling Pathfinders came along.)
