How about an archaeologist bard?
I'd like to submit this character. A half-elf archaeologist with (surprise) the Numerian Archaeologist trait. He would fill a skills, knowledge, traps, and support role in a party. Background: Barton was born and raised in Chesed in Numeria. His parents were mixed, mother a human and father an elf. His mother is a successful merchant, selling goods and supplies to equip the crusades to the north and his father a retired sorcerer who was injured in a battle against a demon up north. His parents are decidely apolitcal, keeping their heads down and living their lives in a city controlled by the Technic league. It has always been his mother's policy to never deal in any technological artifacts in her business and his father has always downplayed the arcane abilities he possesses. His mother's wealth and success gave Bart the benefit of beiong able to be educated well growing up. To his mother's chagrin though, Barton wanted to study history and ancient technology and wanted nothing to do with learning the business. According to his mother, the study of history, engineering, and devices is for someone who wants to live in the past, not the future. Her opinions of learning to fight and wanting to travel are equally dim, but his father understands the draw to adventure and knowing that Bart will have a long life with opportunity for many vocations, encouraged Barton to set out and see part of the world. Growing up in a major city in the Technic league had its benefits and its drawbacks. It gave Bart the opportunity to see examples of ancient technology and to rub shoulders with androids in the streets. It also gave Bart a first-hand look at the cruelty and power of the technic league. Out on his own now, Barton traveled to Torch to see one of the ancient wonders for himself and to meet a renowned scholar named Khonnir Baine. He is thrilled to have found himself in town when something momentous is happening. The Torch going out is a sign that the mysteries of the past aren't unchanging and learning about them might help him shape the world.

"Mutant dire gophers!" Bart casts heroism on himself.
"This is great! If we're the first to discover the dire gophers, then we will get the right to name them!"
"Gophers until proven otherwise ....."
"Gophers!" Bart says as he chucks a rock into the sinkhole.
"Gophers!"
"It appears the sunken boat is on our way. We might as well check it out."

Bart is planning on getting solid rest after Galittlehad gets eaten by the monster. He'll take the early watch.
"From the description, it sounds like a chemosit ... a rare magical beast that dines almost exclusively on halflings..." Bart muses as he watches Galittlehad out of the corner of his eye. Bart climbs into the rafters, so he can "surprise" the ape-bear monster when it comes in for it's latest sacrifice....
"I think this is the hut they put all the sacrifices in for safekeeping...."
"Curses are our specialty. What seems to be the problem?"
Bart will add precise shot as a feat and take glitterdust as a new spell.
I'll update Bart tonight. Welcome Hindi Does anyone think spending a feat on extra traits to make disable device a class skill would be a good idea in the long run?

Activate luck and chop an undead. (2hand, pwr attack, heroism, luck, sermon)
