--------------------
Special Abilities
--------------------
Derring-Do Elrus can spend 1 panache point after rolling an Acrobatics, Climb, Escape Artist, Fly, Ride, or Swim check to add 1d6 to her result. On a 6, he rolls another d6 and add that result too. This process continues as long as he rolls 6 up to a total 4d6.
Dodging Panache When an opponent attempts a melee attack against Elrus, she can spend an immediate action and 1 panache to move 5 feet, gaining a +0 dodge bonus against that attack (though not negating it). All other enemies who threaten him can make attacks of opportunity.
Opportune Parry and Riposte When an enemy attempts a melee attack against Elrus (but before it rolls its attack roll), Elrus can spend an attack of opportunity and 1 panache to make an attack roll as if she was making an attack of opportunity with a –2 penalty for every size larger than Elrus the enemy is. If Elrus's result is higher than the enemy’s, the attack misses, and Elrus can then spend an immediate action to make a counterattack against that enemy, as long as he can reach it.
Inspired Panache Elrus starts each day with 5 panache, and her total panache can never be higher than 5. He gains a point of panache whenever she confirms a critical hit with his rapier, but he doesn’t gain a panache if the creature is helpless or unaware.
Inspired Finesse Elrus gains Weapon Finesse and Weapon Focus, but only for the Rapier.

Ceaseless Observation Elrus uses his intelligence modifier for all Disable Device, Perception, Sense Motive, and Use Magic Device Checks. He can also use his intelligence modifier instead of charisma on any diplomacy checks made to gather information.

Trap Sense Elrus receives a +1 dodge bonus to AC and a +1 to Reflex saves against traps.
Trapfinding Elrus can disarm magical traps and can spot the few traps in the game that explicitly can only be found by characters with trapfinding (like symbol traps).

Alchemical Items

Acid Elrus’s acid deals 1d6 acid damage on a hit and 1 damage to all adjacent creatures (a “splash”).
Alchemist’s Fire Elrus’s alchemist’s fire deals 1d6 fire damage on a hit and 1 damage to all adjacent creatures (a “splash”). On the next round, the target of a direct hit takes another 1d6 damage.

Meditation Tea Elrus’s meditation tea grants the drinker a +2 alchemical bonus against mind-affecting effects for 10 minutes. Once per day, drinking it can also grant a new save against a mind-affecting effect that existed before drinking.

Inspiration Elrus can spend 1 use of inspiration to add 1d6 to a skill check after rolling. For Knowledge, Linguistics, Spellcraft, Diplomacy, Perception, Heal, and Sense Motive he can add the 1d6 for free. He can also spend two uses to add to an attack roll or saving throw after rolling. For saving throws, this takes an immediate action.

Background Elrus was raised in an Magnimar, the third out of four children of a minor noble house. He always felt the need to make a name for himself and from the earliest time he could remember he was keen to investigate any mystery that he became aware of. He was classically trained in academies and it was here he gained a love of fencing. Knowing that his families lands and titles would pass to his older siblings, he sought out a life of adventure. He investigates crimes in Magnimar for the city guard, and in one such investigation came upon an absentminded alchemist named Valrus. Although he ruled him out for that crime, he was intrigued by his offer of guard work in exploring some nearby ruins. He joined this team to delve some ruins and learned that this team was a much larger part of a group know as the pathfinder society. He continued exploring with Valrus for a while, before decided once and for all to join the pathfinder society and travelled to Absolom. He trained extensively with Kreighton Shane, who reinforced the numerous tips and tricks he’d learned from Valrus and Marcus Fabellus, who showed him a few new tricks the Varisians were unaware of with a rapier. Able to brew potent magical draughts and use his sword, he competently completed his confirmation and became a fully fledged member of the pathfinder society.
