Rikcry is an Archaeologist like Farg, but a bit more experienced and educated, and a bit less roughneck. He can do a bit of everything.
If he needs to fight on the front line, he uses his keen rapier, avoiding hits with mirror images and blur, and using luck, arcane strike, and heroism/dance of 100 cuts to help deal damage.
He can buff the party with haste and good hope.
He can do battle field control via maneuvers with his whip and spells like Grease, Glitterdust, and Silent Image.
He can fight at long range with either a bow or pistol.
He can fight casters by counter spelling with dispel magic, stealing spell component pouches with pilfering hand, or Silencing them.
He can scout with vanish and blur, and uses message to communicate back to the group.
He is an ace at handling the "Skill Monkey" role, finding traps like nobody's business, and can take ten to disarm, at a baseline of 35 (before buffs and equipment).
He has a baseline of 26 with his weakest knowledges, again before buffs.
With Detect Magic and +20 Spellcraft, he can identify pretty any magic items and spell effects, and with +19 UMD, he can use most items not made for him.
