Marcan Velder's page

At first glance, Marcan could almost pass for human; his build is fairly tall and slight, but if it weren't for the ears you wouldn't know his father was an elf. Marcan's beginning to show signs of age, most prominently a little grey in his otherwise black, neatly cut hair. Typically, he's in practical but immaculately tailored outfits; he still has in a closet an old, worn suit of leather armor that bears the marks of extensive use. He's a bit off putting on first meeting (very sarcastic), but the locals know he's also both generous and reliable.

Marcan used to be a small time guild thief in Riddleport. When a new boss took over with a much more bloodthirsty style, Marcan discovered he didn't have a taste for the new level of violence, and tried to leave the guild. Leaving a thieves' guild is, of course, easier said than done, and Marcan burned most of his resources escaping the city.

He spent a few years hiding out in <TBD>. Once he felt the coast was clear, he eventually settled down in Sandpoint. He's all respectable now, an elder in the town, married, follower of Sarenrae. Runs a small leatherworking shop, has for a long time now. But he's kept a few of his old skills sharp - even though his neighborhood's not the finest, somehow the worst of the unsavory elements have a hard time setting up shop.

In combat, depend on the Scout archetype and flanking (soon augmented with Press to the Wall) to trigger sneak attack, and use two weapons to hit as many times as possible. At level 10, pick up Cunning Feint to add another way to make foes flat footed.
Out of combat, be a general skillmonkey; stealthy, trapfindy, etc.

In addition, starting at 3rd level, she can select any one type of weapon that can be used with Weapon Finesse (such as rapiers or daggers). Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. Whenever she makes a successful melee attack with the selected weapon, she adds her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier to the damage roll. If any effect would prevent the rogue from adding her Strength modifier to the damage roll, she does not add her Dexterity modifier. The rogue can select a second weapon at 11th level and a third at 19th level.
