Perhaps remove the blood from the sword and/or the severed head. The rest would work fine.
As for nicknames, I wasn't trying to imply that I didn't like the suggested ones, just that since Darkbiter is already a sort of a nickname, specific names in general don't really register to him as particularly notable, given his background. Prettyboy or Ugly would be fine, just not likely to invoke a response any different than Darkbiter would.

How about a wolf rampant(up on its hind legs) dual wielding swords in its front paws for a banner? It's different for the other banners, but still has the main theme going. I am learning heraldly in the SCA, so pardon the herald speak.
That sounds different and cool.

Severed heads so we can win the tackiest banner award? ;)
Really, simple is better when it comes to icons.
My vote:
Somthing like this with a pair of crossed swords behind. Black swords, grey wolf head silhouette on a white background. That'll be recognizable for a *long* ways.
Edit: The wolf rampant is a neat idea too. I like it, though it does seem a bit too factually historic for the stylized fantasy themes Golarion has.

If you are allowed to take bardic performance, don't forget to move some skill points into Perform.
That's going to be there whether I get the class feature or not. Right now he's just not very good at it because it's not a class skill.
If I get the class ability I'm going to argue to trade some other skill for Perform, or I'll just take a trait for it.
Either way though, you're gonna have a dwarven bagpiper around.

Please tell me he will have an accent.

You're going to have enemies begging you to hit them with your mortars just to put them out of their misery. Nickname idea: Ear Splitter
And don't forget to buy the armored kilt.

Ah'course 'e will, lad. Wha' kinda dwarf d'ye think ah'm makin' 'ere?

I'm seriously debating taking Medium Armor Proficiency as my first level feat. It seems like such a waste considering it's a hand-out to most classes. Maybe I'll just dip to another class next level.

I would have a hard time taking that feat as well. Of course, you can always multi with Drunken Brute Barbarian. I have visions of a drunk kilt wearing dwarf blasting away with a mortar.
"Oi!" I be outta shells. I guess I'll 'ave to do this the 'ard way!" He downs a pint in a split second and roars as he runs down the hill. "Chaaaaaaaaarge!"
Edit: Oh man, if I lose a character in a RL campaign I am very tempted to do this. Time to mock up build :D

That is just frightening to even think about.

Aaaand sold. I might only dip one level, but this is happening. :)
now I want to know if I can keep Mutagen somehow so I can stack it with Rage and get to pound a pint and hulk out when things get hairy.
| Drannigan "Doc" Piper |
Looks like it.
Guess I won't be able to get the bardic performance stuff that I wanted, but I'm kinda ok with that. The pipes will just be a flavor thing unless I can work something out with the GM.
Oh, who in the group has, or will have, Evasion or Fire Resistance? I'd like to know who I can drop bombs near without too much worry.

Perhaps give up the Brew Potion Feat, Poison Use (but retain poison resistance), and reduce the number of discoveries to every third level for bardic performance. While the first 2 don't technically improve, they are powerful enough in their own right that combined with a smaller number of discoveries, would probably balance out the bardic performance.
Or keep the discoveries but also get rid of poison immunity, while still keeping the poison resistance.
I'll eventually get evasion, but not for a very long time.

Brew Potion is critical. It's like Scribe Scroll for Wizards. It's the only way to get longevity out of your per day casting. Brew Potion stays. I wanted to build a team player, and I think most people would prefer a potion vending machine to Inspire Courage.
Discoveries are also a mainstay. It's how my primary ability will stay level-appropriate. Otherwise I start falling way behind the curve by about 5th level.
I like the idea of Bardic Performance, but as the character concept has evolved I can't figure out a way to make it viable without giving up something more important.
We'll see what Pentor has to say.
| Drannigan "Doc" Piper |
Perhaps in place of discoveries, you can learn specific uses of bardic performance. That way you could get Inspire Courage but not all the other different performances that you likely wouldn't use anyway.
That's a good suggestion. I'll ask about it.

not on my watch!
I do like some of the things I am seeing I am not sure about character development yet for myself....
Certainly will stick with rogue to level 2 for evasion, mad skill points and other stuff.....
level 3 who knows....very tempted to level dip....
