Ganorok seems not surprised Enothai knows the student.
"She is quite friendly, isn't she?" - He says to no one in particular.
Oh good you got why I described him that way Enothai lol
Jandar Lilswin smiles brightly at Enothai "I would love to study under you some time"see what I did there
Looking at Ganorok he smiles [b]"Yeah I know just the place we'll head there before hitting up the library and the dorms if anyone still wants to go there. He then turns and starts heading towards the exit of the building. As you are leaving however you all hear a loud explosion and then a blood curdling scream.

"I'll catch up wth you in a minute..."
Ganorok moves aside, and takes a couple wands from his handy haversack.
He uses the first one on himself.
He casts Blend on himself, trying to hide from sight. Stealth (with Blend and Skill Mastery taking 10):38 = 38

Backtracking a bit...
Marigania reads over the waiver with amusement. As if I'd ever resort to "legal" measures to exact revenge if needed. She signs the paper and casts prestidigitation to slowly float it back to Toff.
Just before the explosion...
"I'll take the escort to the dorm room, thank you."And I'll do some looking around myself after...what the hell was that?
At the sound of the explosion, Marigania casts invisibility and quietly moves toward the sound.
Stealth:1d20 + 36 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 36 + 20 - 5 = 53+20 for invisible, -5 for moving full speed.
As you make your way toward the explosion you come to one of the classrooms which has been practically destroyed and a very large 15 ft tall spider locking eyes at the terrified student who just summoned it. Make me a Knowledge Arcana check to identify it.
[spoiler=DC 21 Knowledge Arcana check]The creature is a summoned extraplanor construct known as a Retriever. It has very dangerous eye rays which can shoot fire, cold, or electricity, or petrify its target. It also has a less effective bite and claw attack. It also has the ability to heal itself.
Going to wait for Aizel and Orion to post before I get things started in ernst unless you guys wanted to pause and start combat when I get back on Monday.

DM Mathpro:
Ganorok waits until the others go ahead...
... and then backtracks to the Headmaster office.
Outside of the Headmaster reception he uses his Other wand to cast Greater Invisibility on himself.
Stealth Check taking 10 with Invisibility when moving:54 = 54
Is the receptionist there?
Is the headmaster there?
If they are not there he will enter and check the Headmaster office.
If they are there he will throw a Thunderstone outside of the reception, to try and lure them out.
Perception Check:1d20 + 25 ⇒ (2) + 25 = 27 (+6 vs. Traps, detects them at 10')
Once inside he gets and drops his Masterwork flute under the desk.
He mainly checks for breaching festival information. He tries to not mess things up, to cover his tracks.
If unable to make them leave he will try to hear what they say while the invisibility last (5 rounds) to give him time to "escape" undetected, picking up his flute before leaving.
The flute is in case they "discover" him. He will excuse himself saying he somehow drop his flute there and came back for it.
Aizel turned in surprise at the sound of the explosion. "Maybe this is more like my education that I expected." The bulky Half-Orc turned and headed towards the explosion, moving only a touch slower than a man without armour really should.

When Enothai flirts with Jandar, Orion looks on somewhat amused, then, when he says his line about studying under her, Orion approaches him quickly and puts a hand on the boys shoulder with a firm grip.
Intimidate:1d20 + 26 ⇒ (14) + 26 = 40(grip getting slightly firmer during following speech, just trying to put a little respect and fear in him, not REALLY get to him. Think of a Ex-Special Forces Dad cleaning his rifle while interviewing the boy picking up his only daughter for a date...)
"Good luck with that, boy. If your performance and skills will not be satisfactory, you'll have to deal with Enothai. If they are, however, you'll deal with me. And you seemed to have such a bright future, kid!"
Having said that, Orion grins at the boy, releasing the grip while slightly "pushing" him towards Enothai, and walking past.
Other than this, he does not really seem affected by Enothais flirt attempts. When the explosion is heard, though, it would seem the scream implies necessity of action.
Releasing the straps holding his sword, Orion races towards where those sounds came from.
Most likely, this was no time for idle banter or subtelty.

@Enothai: Hence the part about dealing with me if he is satisfactory to you. Besides, "out pace" i strongly doubt ;) . But as said, you want a plaything to yourself, thats completely fine-but if there's explosions and blood-gurgling screams, it may not really be the time to try and work out details. And i heavily doubt it's Ghadame again, considering her uncle is likely not done scolding her.

While Enothai may be permanently in heat, Jandar seems not to be. So if you'd be so kind to try and help rescue whoever messed up this time around, that'd be great. Besides, thats a chance to show off your superior magical capabilities, you may not even need to charm him.
Move along the outside of the room if possible to get to the girl without provoking. If that's not possible, move to within one move increment of the girl and then Ready an Arrow for any hostile move by the beast towards the party (including the girl).

I'll get the girl, Orion and Aziel you get the monster. Enothia, can either of you banish it or are we doing this the hard way?
Bendis notices that Ganorok and Marigania are missing, but doesn't comment, assuming some form of invisibility is in use.

Hu Bendis? Did I miss something? What beast, what girl, what retriever? Did some DM post disappear for me?
Uh, based on information provided by a Team Member, I would try to cast Dismissal on the Retriever(I do expect my Knowledge is sufficient to know what it is). DC 19 Will Save.
If not successful, pronounce Judgement on the Retriever as Swift Action(Justice/Destruction).
Per move action, I rush towards the student girl that needs my help regardless of success of dismissal! Dibs! She's mine, Bendis, find your own students! Damsels in distress are my thing...
Enothai he saves vs your spell and then looks at you shaking his head. "Nice try" he says. As Orion speaks to him he looks frightened and shakes his head "I believe you've misunderstood...I was talking about being her apprentice thats all..." Orion then rushes forward and dismisses the creature before it can cause any harm to the girl.
YOu mean like that Orion...lol stupid mages and there anti-combat spells...just kidding.

Tapping her foot in annoyance and then with a big smile on her face she will go up to Jandar and drape her arms over his neck. You are much more strong willed than your physique would give you credit for. and she bats her eyelashes at him.

Breech festival documents. Other people's signed forms, to know who else is competing, and any information about the festival. Traps, persons involved, secrets...
Excellently banished. Is the girl unharmed? You can flirt after you splint.
She takes a look around the room, then scoops up the remains of one of the desks.
Perception look for anything related to summons:1d20 + 34 ⇒ (16) + 34 = 50
If there's nothing, she'll sling her bow on her back and come stand near the girl, aiding Orion if relevant.
Aizel calmed himself. He'd felt the bloodrage flowing into him, preparing for the bursts of power and magic that were his kinds trademark. With a monster such as that, his usual tricks didn't work - it only understood when something bigger and meaner than it tore it in half.
He moved over to Orion. "Nicely done," he murmured, "That is going to be an invaluable talent if the tests are as a heavy on summoned creatures as we've been led to think." Aizel wasn't a hundred percent sure it would be true, but he'd bet coppers to gold that there would be at least some summoned creatures.

While caring for the girl, Orion looks up at Aizel and Bendis:"Thank you both. Yes, it is something very useful...I don't know about you guys, but when I have to deal with summoned creatures, I prefer taking on whoever summoned them rather than the creatures themselves-so it's a good tool to have, even if it depends on the creatures weakness of will." Orion then closes the straps holding his Sword in place with one hand, tapping it slightly:"For all those too strong of will, there's this...and I reckon all our talents will be required before the festival is over...", nodding towards Aizel and Khatul. Figuring he will end up in the frontlines together with him, from looks.

Marigania stays invisible and discreetly searches the room, looking for anything that strikes her as suspicious (especially notes on summoning retrievers, or reasons why someone would do so).
And we are back on the air!
The girl sobs while hanging to Orion.
"I am so sorry, I just wanted to show everybody what I am capable off! Oh my god! I am going to get expelled! Please, help me!"
She moves a hand into her belly.
"It hurts!"
She takes the hand up, and looks at it, terrified. It is soaked in blood.
She faints. She has a big open wound in her abdomen, and her clothes are quickly getting soaked in bright red blood.
You start to hear the voice of Toff Ornelos, screaming...
"Students, to your dormitories! Where is the problem! What happened?"
Marigania, invisible, notices somebody hidden behind a desk...
Roll call! Who is still with us?
Aizel glanced down at the wounded girl in horror and sadness. It was an excellent example of what uncontrolled power could do. A Blood Rager unleashed there rage and power in berserk frenzy, but it wasn't anything like this. He knew his target, his friends, and his foe. He could end it as he will. It was under his command.
"Khatul, any more of them?" The dweomercat scanned the area, it's permanent ability to taste magic hunting down any more creatures like the one that had wounded the girl.
Aizel himself knelt by the girl, pushing against the wound with one strong hand. "I need someone who knows healing here, now! This girl is injured!" He glanced at Enothai. "We were all young and stupid once. Most of us didn't have to die to learn not to be."

Orion holds her tight, and casts another Cure Serious Wounds on her...
3d8 + 13 ⇒ (4, 1, 3) + 13 = 21, using the touch spell to innocently cop a feel while smiling at Enothai.
Khatul scans quickly around, and then drops into a corner, and starts licking its fur.
The girl closes her eyes, her breathing gets ragged... and then she sharply draws breath!
"Gods! I..."
She looks with teary eyes at Orion.
"Thanks, I feel much better."
The screams from Toff Ornelos get closer.
The girls eyes grow wide with fear.
"No please! What can I do! I'll get expelled!"

Holding her close, Orion attempts to calm her down..."Girl, you went in over your head, but WHAT happened, and why? Quickly now, before the Headmaster arrives!" Sense Motive on her:1d20 + 26 ⇒ (2) + 26 = 28
Regardless of the information gained, Orion will attempt to calm things over with Toff, making it out as a mistake to learn from that was borne from the reckless ambition that leads people to greatness. A mishap that this girl will have learned more from than from months of formal study, and that it would be wasteful to expel her since the damage is already done, and here's a person with such an energetic outlook that would never again do something as stupid as this, but could, with a proper focus, do so much good for the advancement of the academy.

Hmm, the elf thinks, there he goes trying to pick up on a little elf girl as if he could replace me. It is time to have a little fun.
As she is massaging Jandar's shoulders she will whisper the words to a spell
Ast thsnir eraner dokof DC Will 25 as she attempts to cast dominate person on him.
Really? Again? What did that poor guy did to you?
You surely understand use compulsory magic against people can be taken a a profound breach in etiquette, right?
Jandar's eyes get a glassy look when they fixate himself on Enothai.
Toff Ornelos arrives and is enraged at the student’s foolish act. He not only has the girl, Seska, punished, and only the intervention of Orion make her avoid expulsion, but has her fined for three times the price of the stolen scroll to cover its loss as well as any damage done to the classroom — an amount Seska can’t pay, which will force her to labor for the Acadamae for many years, in an indentured servitude way.
Toff apologizes to the PCs in the same breath he uses to thank them for defeating the monster before it caused any more damage, explaining that it’s highly unusual for Acadamae students to attempt such foolish stunts, but that such attempts always spike in the days leading up to a Breaching Festival.
He then turns towards Enothai.
"And I would appreciate if you refrain from using your spells on my assistant."
He quickly dispels Enothai spell.
"Jandar, please leave, your services are no longer required here."
He looks at all of you while Jandar exists.
"Do you need any more help before tomorrow?"
I am going to try to run Academy of Secrets if anyone is interested. I see a lot of lower level campaigns so I thought I'd give running something a little higher level a shot. Character creation guidelines and a brief overview of the module are spoiler-ed below for your reading pleasure.
Character Creation guidelines::
Characters are level 13
Standard wealth by level(140,000)
-Classes from Core, APG, UM, UC, and ACG are acceptable.
-As I do not have a copy of Unchained yet nor will I be able to aford a book or pdf copy of it any time soon I will ask that people avoid Unchained even though it sounds like its going to be off the hook!
-Please none of the new classes that were play tested(pathfinders taken on Psionics)
-Standard races would be prefered, but I will consider things from the ARG based on background and strength of argument for why this race should be allowed.
-NO third party publishing sources allowed!
-All other Paizo products will be allowed
-Race traits, feats, magic items, and alternate class features from the ARG are allowed but you can not build your own custom race.
2 traits
HP are going to be rolled and if you roll under half your HD you can take half your HD instead.
Original Stat generation will be 2d6+6 or 20 point buy which ever is higher. Your final stats are going to be different(with stat increases at 4,8, and 12).
Campaign Background:
Every year the Acadamae—Korvosa’s prestigious school of the arcane arts—opens its gates to the city to host the Breaching Festival, where the most skilled infiltrators are invited to enter the magically guarded Hall of Wards or die trying. Testing their luck against the university’s strongest defenses, the competitors pull out all the stops as they vie for a chance at a fortune in gold and magical treasure. This year, the school’s headmaster has invited the heroes to participate, against the contest’s longstanding traditions. While the Breaching Festival has not seen a champion in over a century and a half, this year’s festival promises to be the deadliest trial the school has ever known. Should the heroes reign victorious, the secrets they may uncover promise more than gold and glory—they may rock the very foundation of the Acadamae, and even the entire city!
I'm looking for about 4-6 players ultimately. I will keep this open for a week or until I get 4-6 strong player concepts which ever comes first. Any other questions can be posted here. I do not expect everyone to have fully fleshed out characters I just need to be able to track what your trying to accomplish with your character. Now if you want to post a full alias go ahead.
I have a Ratfolk Rogue Level 14 I used for the Tomb of the Iron Medusa which I can take to level 13 without much issue.
Would you accept it for this one?
If not, I can change it to a human, gnome or halfling, I think... But I have to say I got somewhat attached to Garonok....
Quote:
The small ratfolk smiles charmingly.
"You sure need to hire me! If you are going in there, you will need a professional "procurer", and that's me. I will make sure no one gets hurt because of traps, and I can also scout ahead, warning you of dangers. I am silent and fast a a mouse, very handy disarming them, and able to spot a poisonous spider in the complete darkness of a dark cavern. I also have several tricks up my sleeve, which have saved my employers more than once. A resume? Let me see. I once , when little, escaped the dungeons of the City of Aquila. Did you heard about that? I am the only one that have escaped! And then got recruited by a couple trying to break a curse, and had to break in the damn city again! Well, with those connections, I reformed myself, embraced Abadar's creed and make a career of my abilities. The exploration of Sultan Abd-Abbas Mausoleum? That was me, that was the place when I found my celestial armor! The rescue of a couple children from the old mines of gold of Starguard? Me, me me! I tell you, I am the mouse for the job! Combat? Very good at it! I got a perfect strategy! I let the big slow guys behind me pummel the monsters to oblivion, while I do the best that I can do, get out of their way! Well, sometimes I help a little, Tooth and Claw, my nice twin swords have done their share, sometimes, but I must say that let the strong big guys do their stuff works well for all the involved, well, except the monsters! I help them by telling them where the enemies are, how many, armed with what, and leading them to the place. So, do we have a deal?"

Actually Ganorok I will allow you to keep him as is and I am removing my ban on ACG races. I don't like them for longer campaigns but since this is a relativly short one shot type game I don't see what harm having non-standard races can do.
Dotting for interest. But first, important question: Is it a problem for you if I've run this module before (and therefore am somewhat familiar with it)? I don't think keeping IC/OOC knowledge should be a problem, but I'd understand if you'd prefer someone who knows nothing about the game.
If you're ok with that, I'd like to re-stat K'leck, my Shoanti human barbarian. He was in another game that got cut short. The basic idea behind him is that I want him to pick up enemies and use them to bludgeon other enemies. Or possibly throw one enemy at another (this can be accomplished through some of the barbarian rage abilities). The thing is, you can't really do that effectively until higher levels, and IIRC, 13 was about the level you need to be to have all the abilities.
As far as personality, K'leck is a generally friendly guy who doesn't take life too seriously. He'll knock you out in a bar fight one day and buy you a drink the next.
Hmm, maybe I could bring my PFS retired summoner. She's fairly amusing. Fair warning though, I did play this once, though it has been a couple of years.
The premise of the character is that she's a lady who was unable to have kids, so her husband ditched her and then she learned summoning to get a daughter. She is fully convinced that her eidolon is actually her real daughter (even though it obviously isn't).
There's a lot of personality quirks which make her fun to play.
@Drbuzzard: That would be fine though I am a little leery of summoners. I don't out right ban them but please try to be reasonable when designing your Eidolon.
@Nohwear:Is that a pathfinder source book? Sounds like it would be from the companion line which if it is then thats fine.
The eidolon is primarily defensive in nature, not one of the crazy damage dealing monstrosities. It's a biped with a high AC, and only claws. No extra limbs or even pounce.
Concept is a guy that doesn’t much like who and what he is. But doesn’t admit that even to himself. He tells himself it for the power or ability the form gives him. Need to get into a dwarf town without attracting attention – change into a badger and pretend to be a wandering pet. Need to fight change into a dino. Need to move far and fast – soar as an eagle. Need to infiltrate a ship – rats are all over the river front. Etc…
Hates the family that failed him. Doesn’t have many friends, but is incredibly attached to those people that have proven trustworthy). His middle class shop keeper parents tried to always do ‘right’ as the government proclaimed. That included sending their child to the priests for ‘book learnin’ rather than helping in the shop. While every year the tax gatherers took even more. His parents were obsessed with class and duty. They never challenged or did anything to try and change the situation. Eventually they died destitute still not able to figure out what went wrong, since they always did what they were told.
Ran off before he could be sold off, managed to get himself taken in as a house boy to a minor adept. Managed to learn a little magic by watching from a hidden spot. Immediately realized the potential rewards and has been pushing his capabilities ever since.
He might have an older sibling. His parents wouldn’t talk about it, but they had another child that ran away shortly after his birth. If the fortune teller was as honest and talent as he professed, he has a much older sister that serves a ship navigator. But he is very much afraid the old man was a fraud.
More than a bit paranoid. Especially untrusting of ‘authority’ figures. But rather than openly rebellious, he just wants to keep track of those that have wronged him and get even later when they are not expecting it. Maybe next month the judge will find a giant scorpion in his bed, but no one will suspect me.
As so much of the shape changing/polymorph magic is nature and animal related, he pretends to be very primitive, uneducated, and stupid. But that is pretense: he is well educated, thinks about things very carefully, and tries to always have the correct spell/shape/gear for a given situation.
Build will be a human Feral Hunter that tries to use wild shape as his 'go-to' solution.
The woman eventually to be known as Mother Magda was once a fetching lass courted by a member of the lower ranks of Taldan nobility. A common seamstress of great beauty, she and he new husband were quite happy with their marriage. That is until after much trying to bring an heir into the world, she was found to be barren. At that point her husband dumped her. This had a rather negative effect on Magda's mental well being. She decided that magic could solve the issue of her inability to have children, so she investigated the mystic arts. Just not the really study oriented ones since she wasn't really that into books and stuff.
After much investigation and developing of innate talent, she managed to summon an eidolon.
Now Magda didn't see this as a mere eidolon. It was her daughter Mary. So while the 'child' was a bit on the homely side (misshapen, with claws), Magda would dress her up in a wig with pig tails, and a little girl's dress.
Mother and Mary eventually fell in with the Pathfinder society. Mother looked at this as a good way to expose her daughter to educational opportunities. The missions she rationalized to be field trips for her precious child (much to the exasperation of most Venture Captains). She served in the society for many years, doing such lofty things as defeating a waking rune Lord with her team.
Eventually Mother was able to trade in enough favors earned in the society to purchase a noble title for Mary, who is now a Contessa in the Taldan Empire.
Mary of course, being a eidolon knows her master is nuts, but humors it all.

Hey I just wanted to let you guys now 99% of my posts will be made between 11 AM and 3 PM CST Monday-Thursday. I may exceed those times but for the most part that's when I will be available to post.
I am looking for 1 post per day from the characters I choose though if you make 1 post every other day I won't boot you. Weekends are optional as mine are rather hectic especially over the summer so I won't expect you to post on the weekends. If you do I will try my hardest to check but my posting on Saturday and Sunday will be slow and far between.
Here is a character that I had built at level 12 but can easily add a level to to add to the game:
Enothai Lantherion is an elven wizard whose natural talents for enchantments came early in life as did The command of magic. She has also been able, though study and charm, to summon different types of creatures than regular conjurors are, in this more fey, which befit an elven enchantress. She also has a talent for magic magical items and has recently learned how to make magical staves.
She loves learning all she can about magic except for necromancy which is icky. Through sheer force of will and from study she was able to overcome she ability to not cast evocation spells. She now finds herself in Taldor, looking to increase both wealth and power by looking at and for the spellbooks of war wizards.

Arcane Bond (Staff of charming) (1/day) (Sp) Use object to cast any spell in your spellbook. Without it,
Concentration required to cast spells (DC20 + spell level).
Bouncing metamagic rod (lesser, 3/day) The wielder can cast up to three spells per day that bounce as
though using the Bouncing Spell feat.
Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user to apply metamagic effects to
spells (but not spell like abilities) as they are cast. This does not change the spell slot of the altered spell.
All the rods described here are use-activated (but casting spells in a threatened area still draws an attack
of opportunity). A caster may only use one metamagic rod on any given spell, but it is permissible to
combine a rod with metamagic feats possessed by the rod's wielder. In this case, only the feats
possessed by the wielder adjust the spell slot of the spell being cast.
Possession of a metamagic rod does not confer the associated feat on the owner, only the ability to use
the given feat a specified number of times per day. A sorcerer still must take a full-round action when
using a metamagic rod, just as if using a metamagic feat he possesses (except for quicken metamagic
rods, which can be used as a swift action).
Lesser and Greater Metamagic Rods: Normal metamagic rods can be used with spells of 6th level or
lower. Lesser rods can be used with spells of 3rd level or lower, while greater rods can be used with
spells of 9th level or lower.
Construction
Requirements Craft Rod, Bouncing Spell; Cost 1,500 gp
Charming +1 Bluff/Diplomacy/save DC for a language-dependent spell vs. targets who could be sexually
attracted to you.
Controller Associated School: Enchantment
Dazing Touch (11/day) (Sp) As a standard action, touch dazes foe for 1 rd, if HD <= wizard level.
Domineering (Charm Person) DC of selected spell increases by 1.
Elven Immunities - Sleep You are immune to magic sleep effects.
Elven Magic +2 to spellcraft checks to determine the properties of a magic item.
Extend metamagic rod (3/day) Metamagic rods hold the essence of a metamagic feat, allowing the user
to apply metamagic effects to spells (but not spell like abilities) as they are cast. This does not change
the spell slot of the altered spell. All the rods described here are use-activated (but casting spells in a
threatened area still draws an attack of opportunity). A caster may only use one metamagic rod on any
given spell, but it is permissible to combine a rod with metamagic feats possessed by the rod's wielder. In
this case, only the feats possessed by the wielder adjust the spell slot of the spell being cast.
Possession of a metamagic rod does not confer the associated feat on the owner, only the ability to use
the given feat a specified number of times per day. A sorcerer still must take a full-round action when
using a metamagic rod, just as if using a metamagic feat he possesses (except for quicken metamagic
rods, which can be used as a swift action).
The wielder can cast up to three spells per day that are extended as though using the Extend Spell feat.
Normal metamagic rods can be used with spells of 6th level or lower.
Construction
Requirements: Craft Rod, Extend Spell feat; Cost 5,500 gp
Force of Will (Su) 60' 2-way telepathy with those you have charmed or dominated.

Irresistible Demand (max 12 HD, 12 rounds/day, DC 24) (Sp) At 8th level, you can force others to do
your bidding. As a standard action, you attempt to dominate a creature as though using the dominate
monster spell, except that the creature must have a number of Hit Dice equal to or less than your wizard
leve
.
Low-Light Vision See twice as far as a human in low light, distinguishing color and detail.
Necromancy You must spend 2 slots to cast spells from the Necromancy school.
Spell Focus (Enchantment) Spells from one school of magic have +1 to their save DC.
Spell Resistance (18) You have Spell Resistance.
Summon Neutral Monster Summoned neutral creatures gain a +2 resistance bonus on Will saves.
I'd like to submit a former student of the academy but who left it under a cloud of disgrace. But the deeds he performed subsequent to that has earned him an opportunity at redeeming himself in the eyes of his fellows and win acceptance, if not a spot in the faculty.
Dotting for interest. Won't have time to throw out a detailed alias, but I'll be getting on it later. I may have a character that I can adjust to fit, but I'll have to wait until after class to look further.
I've made a few modifications to K'leck to level him up. Still missing some traits, and I've only bought 2 items, so I still have a fair amount of cash to spend. The feats, skills, HP, ability scores, and rage powers are all there though.

Special Abilities
--------------------
Two-Weapon Rend: If you hit an opponent with both your primary hand and your off-hand weapon, you deal an additional 1d10 points of damage plus 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier. You can only deal this additional damage once each round.
Critical Bleed:Whenever you score a critical hit with a slashing or piercing weapon, your opponent takes 2d6 points of bleed damage each round on his turn, in addition to the damage dealt by the critical hit. Bleed damage can be stopped by a DC 15 Heal skill check or through any magical healing. The effects of this feat stack.
Favored Enemy (Humans, Elves, Undead):gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures
Track (Ex): A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.
Wild Empathy (Ex): A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person (see Using Skills). The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check
Favored comunity (Korvosa, Magnimar, RiddlePort):he urban Ranger forms a bond with a community. While inside the limits of this community, he gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (local), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks. An urban Ranger traveling through his favored community leaves no trail and cannot be tracked (although he may leave a trail if he so desires).
Trapfinding: At 3rd level, an urban Ranger can find and disable traps, as the rogue class feature of the same name.
Hunter’s Bond:a bond to his companions. This bond allows him to spend a move action to grant half his favored enemy bonus against a single target of the appropriate type to all allies within 30 feet who can see or hear him. This bonus lasts for a number of rounds equal to the ranger's Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). This bonus does not stack with any favored enemy bonuses possessed by his allies; they use whichever bonus is higher.
Push Through:an urban Ranger is never slowed by difficult terrain in his favored communities. In addition, he can move through the space occupied by local citizens as if they were allies. This does not apply to creatures intent on harming the Ranger. Areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect him.
Swift Tracker (Ex): Beginning at 8th level, a ranger can move at his normal speed while using Survival to follow tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. He takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.
Evasion (Ex): When he reaches 9th level, a ranger can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the ranger is wearing light armor, medium armor, or no armor. A helpless ranger does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Quarry (Ex): At 11th level, a ranger can, as a standard action, denote one target within his line of sight as his quarry. Whenever he is following the tracks of his quarry, a ranger can take 10 on his Survival skill checks while moving at normal speed, without penalty. In addition, he receives a +2 insight bonus on attack rolls made against his quarry, and all critical threats are automatically confirmed. A ranger can have no more than one quarry at a time and the creature's type must correspond to one of his favored enemy types. He can dismiss this effect at any time as a free action, but he cannot select a new quarry for 24 hours. If the ranger sees proof that his quarry is dead, he can select a new quarry after waiting 1 hour.
Blend In:An urban Ranger of 12th level or higher can use his Stealth bonus in place of a Disguise skill check in any of his favored communities. This disguise does not take an action to don. He must make a check whenever someone attempts to pick him out from the local citizens. If his check is successful, he blends into the crowd. While not invisible, enemies do not notice his presence and take no actions against him unless they are taking actions against the local citizens in general
Faith’s Hunter: When you confirm a critical hit against a favored enemy, you may extend the duration of any divine spell affecting you by 1 round. The benefits from multiple critical hits stack. Divine spells with an instantaneous duration can't be extended in this manner.
GM, question please - do you allow the Familiar Archetypes (in this case, Mauler) to work with Improved Familiars? There seems to be two schools of thought regarding it.
I'd like to use a Dweomercat Cub as a anti-magic weapon, making my character vaguely mage-huntery. However, it is pretty nasty stacked with Mauler - in Battle Form it would have 20 strength, which would come as something of a shock to most things it hits.

Hey guys could I trouble someone to make a list of applicants to this game sorted by class and race please. It should look something like whats spoilered below. I ususally do it my self but i'm running low on time today and really need to start tracking applications for this as we've had so many good ones.
Example application list:
Updated under consideration list now with party roles:
The character I am making (tentatively named Jak O. Ward) is the grandson of the Headmaster of the Acadamae (Ornelos I believe his name). But his father was a Varisian Grifter (hence, the rogue levels) and who abandoned him and his mother at an early age. Grandfather Ornelos could not be more happy at his departure but Jak ran away and looked for his father but did not find him. Meanwhile Grandfather Ornelos took measures to retrieve said wayward grandson when he manifested magic powers upon puberty (he was spying on him by way of a crystal ball, i suppose). But Grandfather Ornelos was greatly disappointed when Jak turned out to be a sorceror (albeit with the arcane bloodline) rather than a wizard like him. So he was disowned by the old man. Jak left promising to comeback to humble his grandfather. Thus began his career as an arcane trickster.
Jak has been involved in some of the more notorious dungeon delves and arcane heists in recent memory.
Jak has many associates from many lands and this can serve as the connection between him and other players.
