Rechau, I haven't decided yet. Mostly I am looking to reconfig table 7 again as after the last recruitment wave, the recruits disappeared. Some of it may be my fault as I have not been able to pay daily attention to the campaign like I want to. My apologies for not keeping up on every thing.
No problem, I have him at 4 on his profile now, but can easily remove the last level if needed.
Although I wouldn't mind seeing Lotham, Nathan, and Greebins again :)
Awww....
FYI, Cavetoad didn't let me level up in my 'sabbatical,' so I wouldn't assume level 4 unless he says otherwise.
Hey Greebins, sorry I missed the resumption of the thread way back, would have loved to stay in that group. That's OK, I can drop him to 3 easily.

Ah, thank you. It doesn't actually spell that out in the rules there, but now that I look at the two examples (4th and 8th) in context with your reply it becomes apparent :).

Nathan's healing is enough to restore Rechau to full health and he nods thanks to his companion. After cleaning his blade he examines the corpse to see if there is any use for it.

Round 2
Rechau grasps his sword in both hands, giving up on trying to parry anything from the large beast and instead concentrates on damaging it. His stance also morphs as he combines another style with his first.

Rechau moves over to the creature, risking an attack as he has too far to go to waste time trying to avoid such. Once there he starts attacking the body of the creature.
actions:
Swift- enter Crane Stance. Move 30' to creature provoking an AoO. Attack using Power Attack(-1/+2), Combat Expertise(-0/+1 AC), and fighting defensively(-2/+3 AC).

"I also need no armor or weapons. Just basic supplies like food." Rechau says.
"As to Nathan's plan, I think you are being overly optimistic. Unlike us, these giants and such will be in social grouping and not individually tutored like we were. Nor will you have the time to devote to the task like was invested in us."

"Yes, that is the basic plan. So far we have very limited information and it is hard to make definite plans. We will just follow the flow of information for now."

"I will defer to both yours and Nathan's judgement for now. I agree that the more we learn, the better off we are. I would just caution that, so far, all of our information is coming from one source, the goatlings." Rechau says to Lotham.

Rechau will wander the camp. He still does not trust the events so far. Too much information is from single sources. He will wait for Lotham and Nathan to come back.

Rechau has spent the entire time nervous. Unlike the others, he still did not entirely trust these creatures. Now with this evening's activities apparently summoning some great beast, he awaited its revelation.

Table 1 & 6:
Rechau listens as the others discuss possible actions. He is leery of taking the goatling's version of circumstances at their word because he is certain there are other points of view that Rechau's group has yet had access to. However, for now, he will keep his silence as long as things remain in the hypothetical stage.

"When they swing at you, move." Rechau smiles back. "The secret to combat is hit them with your weapon and don't let them hit you."
And then he actually laughs.

Special Abilities:
FIGHTER
Bravery +1 (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a fighter gains a +1 bonus on Will saves against fear. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 2nd.
SWASHBUCKLER
Charmed Life +5 3/day (Ex): At 2nd level, the swashbuckler gains a knack for getting out of trouble. Three times per day as an immediate action before attempting a saving throw, she can add her Charisma modifier to the result of the save. She must choose to do this before the roll is made. At 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the number of times she can do this per day increases by one (to a maximum of 7 times per day at 18th level).
Deeds (EX): (derring-do, dodging panache, opportune parry and riposte)
Panache (Ex): Gain a pool of points that are spent to fuel deeds, regained on light/piercing crit/killing blow.
Swashbuckler Finesse (EX): At 1st level, a swashbuckler gains the benefits of the Weapon Finesse feat with light or one-handed piercing melee weapons, and she can use her Charisma score in place of Intelligence as a prerequisite for combat feats. This ability counts as having the Weapon Finesse feat.
MONK
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level or higher, a monk can avoid damage from many area-effect attacks. If a monk 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 a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Fuse Style (2 styles) (Ex): At 1st level, a master of many styles can fuse two of the styles he knows into a more perfect style. The master of many styles can have two style feat stances active at once. Starting a stance provided by a style feat is still a swift action.
AC Bonus +0 (EX) When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to his AC and his CMD. In addition, a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every four monk levels thereafter, up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. He loses these bonuses when he is immobilized or helpless, when he wears any armor, when he carries a shield, or when he carries a medium or heavy load.
Unarmed Strike 1D6 (EX): A monk deals more damage with his unarmed strikes than a normal person would.
OTHER:
Combat Expertise -0/+1 Bonus to AC in exchange for an equal penalty to attack.
Combat Reflexes (7 AoO/round) Can make extra attacks of opportunity/rd, and even when flat-footed.
Crane Style Penalty when fighting defensively reduced to -2 and dodge bonus increases by 1.
Dazzling Display While wielding the weapon in which you have Weapon Focus, you can perform a bewildering show of prowess as a full-round action. Make an Intimidate check to demoralize all foes within 30 feet who can see your display.
Dodge You gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC. A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat.
Hero Points Hero Points can be spent at any time to grant a variety of bonuses.
Hurtful When you successfully demoralize an opponent within your melee reach with an Intimidate check, you can make a single melee attack against that creature as a swift action. If your attack fails to damage the target, its shaken condition from being demoralized immediately ends.
Improved Unarmed Strike Unarmed strikes don't cause attacks of opportunity, and can be lethal.
Monkey Style You add your Wisdom bonus on Acrobatics checks. While using this style, you take no penalty on melee attack rolls or to AC while prone. Further, you can crawl and stand up from lying prone without provoking attacks of opportunity, and you can stand up as a swift action if you succeed at a DC 20 Acrobatics check.
Power Attack -1/+2 You can subtract from your attack roll to add to your damage.
Slashing Grace (Aldori dueling sword) Treat chosen weapon as 1-handed piercing weapon and can had Dex instead of Str to dmg.
Stunning Fist (1/day, DC 16) You can stun an opponent with an unarmed attack.
Traits:
Threatening Defender (Combat) Reduce penalty for Combat Expertise by 1.
Dominator (Belkzen) (Regional) +2 to demoralize in combat.

"It seems as good a place to begin as any and it seems we might be able to peacefully get information now that we know a little of the problem." Rechau says a little hopefully.

"We are just now getting to communicate with them. It seems they think we were some sort of test." Rechau responds to Grobly.
"Thank you for checking on us, it was a close run thing, but we prevailed. How are the other groups? Have you heard from them yet?"

Being both a divine and arcane caster will open a lot of feat choices up for you as well. Perhaps concentrate on the archery feats you feel are necessary and use the rest to bolster the power of your spells.

Nathan, it wasn't that you were useless, it was the starting point made it practically impossible for you to get an action. We are uber powerful for 1st level, but we all still have only around 15 or so hp. Two hits and we are down.
I noticed that Lotham took Fey Foundling, did you? That is like the best feat for a paladin. You might want to consider that in a slight rebuild. I think the rest is fine. You are going for an archer build and it looks good so far, stick with it if that's what you want. Between Greebins, Lotham and myself, we have melee pretty well covered.

Thank you, I didn't really worry for myself much, but I was worried about not being able to be everywhere at once. It looks like normally Greebins (I haven't seen his rebuild idea yet) would be able to frontline with me and thus give the archers some breathing space. Unfortunately he ended up being thrust into the healer spot in this battle and I was really worried they would just outright kill Lotham. Fortunately that didn't happen.
For me, FYI, at second level one of my feats is going to be Dazzling Display. If you noticed I am a fairly focused Intimidate build. So I should be debuffing the enemy on the first round (effectively giving everyone a +2 AC).

Racial traits:
Aberrant Nature: Although human in appearance, elans suffer from a nature slightly off from the rest of the non-elan society. They suffer a -1 penalty to Charisma-based skill checks when dealing with non-elans.
Naturally Psionic: Elans gain the Wild Talent feat as a bonus feat at 1st level. If an elan takes levels in a psionic class, she instead gains the Psionic Talent feat.
Resistance (Su): Elans can use psionic energy to increase their resistance to various forms of attack. As an immediate action, an elan can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of her next action.
Resilience (Su): When an elan takes damage, he can spend power points to reduce its severity. As an immediate action, he can reduce the damage he is about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point he spends.
Repletion (Su): An elan can sustain his body without need of food or water. If he spends 1 power point, an elan does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.
Psionic Aptitude: When an elan takes a level in a favored class, he can choose to gain an additional power point instead of a hit point or skill point.
FCB: 1 power point
Class Features:
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A marksman/rogue is proficient with all simple, light, projectile, and thrown martial weapons, as well as rapier, sap, shortsword and light armorand bucklers. Armor does not interfere with the manifestation of powers.
Combat Style(Sniper): A Marksman of 1st level chooses a type of ranged combat that is her preferred style. This style determines certain class features, skills, and abilities, as described in the different styles.
Point-Blank Shot: At 1st level, a Marksman gains the Point-Blank Shot feat as a bonus feat.
Unseen (Su): A shroud can use her heightened awareness of her surroundings and psionic energy to read the environment and blend in so as to be undetectable. While maintaining psionic focus, she can spend a swift action to become invisible for a number of rounds equal to her Wisdom modifier. The invisibility ends as soon as the shroud attacks a creature. She can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her class level. This ability replaces Wind Reader.
Favored Weapon (Bows):Marksmen of 2nd level gain a +1 competence bonus to ranged attack rolls made with any bow weapon. Every four Marksman levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1.
Hidden Hunter (Su): Starting at 2nd level, the shroud gains a bonus +1 bonus to Stealth skill checks. At 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1. This ability replaces Evade Arrows.
Sniper Style Technique (Su): Once a Marksman has reached 2nd level, she may expend her psionic focus while making a single ranged attack to add her Wisdom modifier to the damage the attack deals. This ability may not be used as part of a full attack.
Sneak Attack: If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.
The rogue’s attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every 2 rogue levels thereafter. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. This additional damage is precision damage and is not multiplied on a critical hit.
With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (such as a sap, unarmed strike, or whip), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack—not even with the usual –4 penalty.
The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with total concealment.
Trapfinding: A rogue adds 1/2 her level on Perception checks to locate traps and on Disable Device checks (minimum +1). A rogue can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
Sniper Style Skill (Ex): At 3rd level, a sniper Marksman gains a +1 bonus to Stealth. This bonus increases by 1 every three Marksman levels thereafter.
Finesse Training (shortsword) (Ex): At 1st level, a rogue gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. 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.
Sniper Style Mantra (Su): Beginning at 3rd level, as long as a sniper Marksman maintains psionic focus, she gains a +2 competence bonus on damage rolls for attacks made with a ranged or thrown weapon. At 7th level and every four Marksman levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1.
Cover Fire (Ex): Beginning at 4th level, the Marksman knows not only how to directly engage her enemies, but also how to protect her allies. As an attack action, she may choose to fire a ranged or thrown weapon at an opponent within 30 feet to distract that opponent rather than to deal damage. Make an attack roll against the space a target occupies (AC 10). If successful, the targeted enemy must make a Reflex save (DC 10 + one-half the Marksman’s class level + the Marksman’s Dexterity modifier = DC 17), or be staggered for one round. The Marksman still expends ammunition as normal for this attack.
If the attack roll would indicate a critical threat and the result would hit the opponent’s AC, roll to confirm: if the critical hit is confirmed against the opponent’s AC, the attack does normal damage as well. A Marksman cannot use cover fire if her opponent or the square she targets would be subject to a miss chance (such as from a concealed target).
Second Chance (Su): A sniper Marksman of 4th level may expend her psionic focus when a ranged attack she has made misses to reroll the attack. This ability can be used a number of times per day equal to 3 + the Marksman’s Wisdom modifier.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she succeeds at a Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Boredom ... no one told him how boring it was to be immortal. Elion had lived a very long life. When first becoming an Elan, he still felt the urge to fight for what he felt was right. He would fight in the wars he felt were justified or against an evil. In such battles, he would always stand out as his arrows flew nearly perfect every time and somehow against all odds, he would survive. However, when the battles were over, he would move on and disappear from society. Though it wouldn't be long before some other cause became worth fighting for and Elion would enlist again, under a different name. This pattern would continue again and again until Elion finally realized the pointlessness of it. History, he learned from experience, was cyclical. It didn't matter whether they won or lost, eventually someone would start it all over again. The reasons may be slightly different but the core was always the same. Upon coming to this realization, Elion hung up his bow and walked away from the world.
The problem now was boredom. With no cause to challenge him Elion had nothing to drive him. He tried various hobbies but none of them stuck. Eventually, Elion learned of a dungeon that was supposed to push people to their limits. This would be something interesting he thought to himself as he packed up his things and headed to the shackles. At the very least, it shouldn't be boring.
Appearance and Personality:
Elion appears to be human, but has a slight glow about him. His muscular frame belies how nimble he actually is. His hair is light and generally unkempt. Given his tendency to outlive others, he is rare to make friends and is often very gruff
