Boons:
Persistent
. . Confirmed Field Agent Having successfully completed and documented your Confirmation, one of the Three Masters has formally recognized you as a field agent and given you a wayfinder engraved with your name and the date of your graduation. Furthermore, if you assign this chronicle to a character whose starting XP is 0, you reduce the Prestige Point cost of any wayfinder enhancement vanities you purchase to modify this wayfinder by 1 (minimum 1).
. . Friend of Janira Gavix The field agent who oversaw your Confirmation is appreciative of your bravery and camaraderie in the face of danger. She helps you perform research, granting you a +1 bonus on Knowledge checks attempted while you are in the Grand Lodge.
. . Gnoll Tactics: (from 192785-2 CS 16) So long as you possess this boon, all of your Pathfinder Society Organized Play characters have access to the following feats and archetypes from Pathfinder RPG Monster Codex as if they appeared on the Additional Resources page: Coordinated Reposition, Disarm Partner, Improved Disarm Partner, Snapping Flank, the pack rager barbarian archetype, and the flindbar.
. . Remnant of the First World One of your items has been infused with a spark of transformation from the First World, giving it unusual characteristics. Record the name of the item and its properties on the lines below. These effects do not hamper the item’s performance. If you wish to remove these effects, you may do so without cost between scenarios by encasing the item in a cold iron box for a week.
Item: candle
Properties: when in use, repeats everything its owner says in a singsong voice

Limited
. . Confirmed Field Agent Having successfully completed and documented your Confirmation, one of the Three Masters has formally recognized you as a field agent and given you a wayfinder engraved with your name and the date of your graduation. If this is the first time you have received this boon for any of your characters, you receive this wayfinder for free; otherwise, you may acquire it by spending 1 Prestige Point.
. . Defender of Absalom You aided Absalom in its hour of need, breaking the siege of demon-flesh monstrosities, undead saboteurs, and ghastly ships. The people of Absalom witnessed your triumphs and will remember your courage for several decades in particular. Choose one (or two, if so instructed by the Overseer GM) of the following rewards corresponding to a faction's objective that either the House successfully fulfilled (corresponding to one of the conditions announced during play) or that your table successfully fulfilled; cross the others off your Chronicle sheet. You do not need to be a member of a particular faction to choose its associated reward.
[ ] Tempest Guardian (Grand Lodge) You led the Muckruckers to victory in reclaiming Fort Tempest, which also salvaged some of the fort's besmirched reputation. The militia makes you an honorary Muckrucker, teaching you or a protégé some of their favorite tricks. You can check the box that precedes this boon when making a new Pathfinder Society character to grant your new character one of the following as a bonus trait: fast-talker, resilient, or suspicious. Alternatively, you can gain the trait.
[ ] Maestro of Manummission (Liberty's Edge) You oversaw the manumission of hundreds of Absalom's slaves, which might mark the end of slavery in the city and recruit new talent to the Society. You can check this box when creating a new character to begin that character at 2nd level with 3 XP, 1,500 gp, and 6 Prestige Points.
. . Elemental Investigator The insight you have gained from your studies in the First World helps you channel the influence of the seasons, honing your understanding of the balance of elemental forces. You may check off the first box before this boon in spring, the second in summer, the third in autumn, and the fourth in winter, using real-world seasons. For the abilities listed below, your caster level is equal to your character level.
Spring: You can channel the essence of autumn’s harvest. This functions as goodberry, except that its target is any plant, and it causes 2d4 pumpkins to sprout that grant the berry’s typical benefits.
Summer: You can channel the essence of winter’s chill into a creature you touch. This functions as shocking grasp, except that it deals cold damage instead of electricity damage.
Autumn: You can channel the essence of spring’s growth, casting entangle as a spell-like ability.
Winter: You can channel the essence of summer’s heat, casting burning hands as a spell-like ability.
Once you have checked all four boxes, you gain access to the elf racial spell ward of the seasons on all of your Pathfinder Society characters as if they were elves. Your elf PCs gain a +1 bonus to their effective caster level for the purposes of this spell.
. . Explore, Report, Cooperate (The Confirmation) You have an excellent sense of what makes an exemplary Pathfinder. As a free or immediate action, you may consider whether a particular action you name--such as subduing but not killing an enemy, befriending an NPC, or recovering a particular item--would help realize the goals of the Pathfinder Society. The GM then informs you whether the action's impact would be positive (contributes to meeting a secondary success condition for the scenario), negative (opposes the secondary success condition), or negligible (neither contributes to nor opposes the secondary success condition). If none of these three options accurately reflection the action's impact on the PC's fulfillment of the secondary success conditions, the GM may respond with a phrase of five words or less. Once you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

Once you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.
. . Prized Find You were instrumental in uncovering a cache of lost records that the Pathfinder Society can use to explore hitherto unknown sites. If you would fail to earn a Prestige Point at the end of an adventure due to failing a success condition, you may cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet to remind your superiors of your past breakthroughs and earn the 1 Prestige Point as if you had successfully fulfilled the condition. You may only use this boon if you would also gain at least 1 XP for completing the adventure (0.5 XP if you use the slow track advancement option).

Mesmerist Class Abilities
. . Enigmatic Stare -4 (Su) target of hypnotic stare takes a –4 penalty on Perception checks to notice the enigma (at 8th level, penalty increases to – 6); replaces painful stare
. . Hypnotic Stare (30 ft; swift) (Su) creature takes –2 penalty on Will saving throws (–3 at 8th level); can maintain stare against one opponent at a time; remains in effect until mesmerist stares at new target, opponent dies, opponent moves farther than 30 feet away, or mesmerist falls unconscious/dies; can remove memory of stare from target’s mind; creature doesn’t remember (nor realize that it is currently being affected) unless mesmerist allows; psychic effect that relies more on mesmerist’s focus than target’s perception; can’t be avoided as gaze attacks can; can use ability even while blinded, but must succeed at DC 20 concentration check; stare requires focus, so if mesmerist uses gaze attack or similar ability, must target subject of stare or voluntarily end stare; penalties from multiple stares don’t stack, nor do they stack with penalties from witches’ evil eye hexes; mind-affecting effect
. . Mesmerist Weapon Proficiencies No penalties on attack rolls with hand crossbow, sap, sword cane, and whip
. . Mesmerist Tricks (110 ft, 3/day) (Su) can create hypnotic bonds with allies, implanting magical suggestions in minds that can later activate; can implant number of tricks equal to 1/2 mesmerist level (minimum 1) plus Charisma bonus (if any); can have only one trick implanted at a time; implanting new trick ends previous one; standard action to implant trick; either touch a willing creature or implant trick in self; creature can be subject of only one trick at a time; mesmerist can activate trick as free action when triggering condition is met; subject must be within medium range to trigger trick; doesn’t need line of sight to trigger trick, but anything that blocks telepathic contact prevents triggering tricks; implanted trick lasts until the next time the mesmerist regains spells
. . Solipsism (Su) when enigma uses hypnotic stare on a creature, instead of applying a penalty on the creature’s saving throws, enigma begins to fade from creature’s view; until enigma’s next turn, enigma gains effects of concealment against that creature (unless it can see invisible creatures); starting on enigma’s next turn, gains effect of invisibility against that creature; effects last as long as enigma continues to use hypnotic stare, but actions that would end invisibility end hypnotic stare immediately; enigma can reinstate effect, but it begins with 1 round of concealment as before; alters hypnotic stare
. . Veiled Steps +1 gain bonus to Stealth checks equal to 1/4 mesmerist level (minimum +1); replaces consummate liar
Mesmerist Tricks
. . Shadow Splinter (5 damage) (Su) protects subject against an attack and redirects the harm to someone else; can trigger trick when subject takes damage from an attack and there is another target within range of the original attack; damage subject takes is reduced by 3 + mesmerist’s Charisma modifier (to a maximum of the total amount of damage the attack deals); another creature within range of original attack, other than attacker, is affected by shadow illusion that makes it appear as if attacker is attacking that creature instead of actual target; second creature takes damage equal to amount by which attack’s damage was reduced; shadow attack doesn’t require roll to hit and ignores cover and concealment, but target can attempt Will save to disbelieve; if Will save succeeds, target neither takes damage nor believes attacker targeted it; this is an illusion (shadow) effect

Bot Me:
Combat: Vari is still a young rogue, so in combat her primary strategy is to go for sneak attacks with her rapier, whether that's from flanking or attacking from Stealth to get opponents flat-footed.
Out of combat: Pretty much a skill monkey, at this point. Don't forget about the +3 insight bonus from Shadow Speaker (4/day); as long as I'm left at least one use of this in the end, feel free to use this resource.
