I agree, I get a regular feat 9th and exploit, I just can't decide which, any suggestions.
Exploit
Potent Magic, Weapon Specialization,
quick study, Arcane Accuracy, metamagic knowledge (w metamagic feat,Intensified Spell), close range or spell resistance
Feat
Expanded Preparation, Extra Arcanist Exploit
Flexible Wizardry, Vital Strike, Dodge, Combat Casting, Spell Focus, Spell Penetration.
From class list:
Student of the Blade (Ex)
A blade adept can choose from any of the following bonus feats: Arcane Strike, Weapon Finesse, and Weapon Focus (in the weapon she is bonded to).
Arcana: A blade adept can select any of the following magus arcana: arcane accuracy, close range, critical strike, dispelling strike, hasted assault. reflection, hasted assault, pool strike, and spell shield.
Quick Study (Ex) Use 1 reservoir as a full rd action, consult spellbook to switch out mem spell (provokes AoO).
Potent Magic (Su)
Whenever the arcanist expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the caster level of a spell, the caster level increases by 2 instead of 1. Whenever she expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase a spell's DC, it increases by 2 instead of 1.
Potent Magic review: The ability to increase the power of your spells at a critical moment will save lives. Or end them. Whatever works. It’s rated blue because it is one of the most powerful abilities your class receives, At clutch moments, it will change the face of the game.
Arcane Weapon (Su)
As a swift action, the arcanist can expend 1 point from her arcane reservoir to enhance her weapon. The weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus, which increases by 1 for every 4 levels beyond 5th (to a maximum of +4 at 17th level).
These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the weapon might have, to a maximum of +5.
An arcanist can also use this exploit to add one of the following weapon special abilities: dancing, defending, distance, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, keen, shock, shocking burst, speed, spell storing, or throwing.
Spell Resistance (Su) for a number of rounds equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1) as a standard action by expending 1 point. This spell resistance is equal to 6 + her arcanist level and cannot be suppressed, but it can be ended as a free action on her turn.
Weapon Specialization no cost per use +2 damage
Arcane Accuracy, expend 1 point as a swift action to grant an insight bonus equal to her +4/+5 Intelligence bonus on all attack rolls (9+3 = 12) rounds
Vital Strike +1d6 damage
Intensified Spell +4 caster level
So combat casting and arcane accuracy
Now 2 new spells
So, after we defeat this dungeon are we going to continue to another adventure together?
How about up north to the citadel of fire or Fortress badabaskor or Rappan Athuk
So, after we defeat this dungeon are we going to continue to another adventure together?
Let's get close to finishing this one, then sort it out.
Also, @Brvheart, is the spellin your acceptable sources?

Fralk
Wow, my rogue HP sucks... 8, 3, 3, 4, 3. Ah, well. Will keep focusing on AC.
Not many things to consider at this level.
Finished leveling, will update sheet probably sometime today.
Toughness would help as your level 9 feat and some Rogue talents are quite good, like offensive defense
Magical Knack
You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a magical creature, either after it found you abandoned in the woods or because your parents often left you in the care of a magical minion. This constant exposure to magic has made its mysteries easy for you to understand, even when you turn your mind to other devotions and tasks.
Benefit: Pick a class when you gain this trait—your caster level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn’t raise your caster level above your current Hit Dice.
Bruising Intellect
Your sharp intellect and rapier-like wit bruise egos.
Benefits: Intimidate is always a class skill for you, and you may use your Intelligence modifier when making Intimidate checks instead of your Charisma modifier.
Crowd Dodger
You spent much of your youth on crowded streets, dodging quickly around and under others.
Benefit(s): You gain a +2 trait bonus on Acrobatics checks to move through another creature’s space and to avoid attacks of opportunity for leaving a threatened square.
BTW, I believe we had a rule that we had to take at least the average hit dice if we rolled badly and reroll all 1's
Also, @Brvheart, is the spellin your acceptable sources?
yes
I would have been fine with Surge of Success, but you are only in line for a bonus feat and Surge of Success is not on that list.Perhaps you're thinking of lvl 8 where Swashbucklers get a bonus feat from a restricted list, but I thought we're going up to level 9 where everyone gets a regular feat? :)
Sorry for the late reply. Looks good Jim
RAtel @ 9th lvl:
[dice=HP]1d10+4
+1 BAB, Ref. save,
Feat: Furious Focus
Mercy (Enfeebled)
Skills @ 3: + 1 diplomacy, knowledge (religion), and perception
Also good Ratel.
Ok, As you appear to like the update format, here's what Terodius did for lvl 9
HP: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
+0 BAB, +1 Ref. save,
Feat: Shatter Defenses
Bonus Teamwork Feat: Escape Route
Skills @ 7: + 1 Perception, Intimidate, Sense Motive, Stealth, K religion, K arcana, K Local
Spells Known: Add Dimensional Anchor (lvl 3) and Inheritor's Smite (lvl 2, FCB)

Magical Knack
You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a magical creature...Benefit: Pick a class when you gain this trait—your caster level in that class gains a +2 trait bonus...
For the feat, I went with Underfoot <<< Link Focusing on quickness and it helps me get into position for the +3d6 percision damage.
Yes, I'm a Wizard 2 (but, Caster Level 4)... powerful! Helps with range and duration, concentration and SR I suppose.
Mostly, just staying true to character.

AFAIC, you are 3 points over on skill points. Everything else looks good.

Not sure where that could be from, HeroLab says 57 Skill points.
I do have Alertness as a Feat, so that gives me +2 Perception & Sense Motive.I also have a Headband of Intellect +2, keyed to the Perception skill. So that's effectively +9 skill points.
Don't want to send you fishing or have you do more work, but if you prefer having the details...

Well it's likely I will be removing my +2 natural armor amulet for Mitra’s amulet so, amulet +2 will be available
Do we go up via wealth by level or only treasure found?
Does natural armor bonus from a familiar stack with natural armor?

** spoiler omitted **...
After being worn for 24 hours, the headband grants a number of skill ranks in those skills equal to the wearer’s total Hit Dice. These ranks do not stack with the ranks a creature already possesses.
So it is effectively only 9 skill points and the ones you had spent on perception prior to wearing it DO NOT STACK.
Also I could six feats, but you are only allows five I believe.
Hi there! Korbin Tealeaf here at your service? What can I get you? Warm bread? Hot soup? A cure for what ails ya?
Agreed, do not stack... But I think they get reallocated (only 9 ranks in Perception). I'll check the math once I'm at HeroLab.
Feats:
5 from Character Level 9
2 from Fighter Level 2
1 Alertness from familiar turtle riding in backpack. Yes, he's the GREATEST wizard. Though his name is not Tim.
