Backstory:

A mystery in herself, Ariamye Darkensoul, was born outside the normal timeline.
Everything around her seems strange and alien to her. The first thing she remembers about arriving in the is watching a man withering to dust before her eyes in the middle of the Carnival of Shadows in the middle of Sharyn. The Phiarlan Elves thought her an intruder immediately turned to attack her till they saw the crest upon her cloak belonging to that of an ancient Human Shadow Thieves guild that aided Vssak, the Undying Court and the Gatekeeper Orcs in preventing Eberron's demise at the hands of the Daelkyr.

She has no idea where she is from or what point in history or how she even met Sarenrae. All that is known of her is kept secret by the Undying Court. Any magic users or psionic users who deal with time displacing abilities feel her displacement. Any one who can sense auras can taste something absolutely evil coming from the girl and yet is betwixt-ed by her completely innocent soul.

On her Adamantine Shortsword is an unusual holy symbol that is unknown to the world of Eberron(the holy symbol of Sarenrae). A foreign goddess goddess who has chased the Darkness across galaxies and believe the Daelkyr are the spawn or spawn blood immortals of the beast known as Rovagug, the Worldbreaker, set on the plane of Maddness before being distracted elsewhere.

It is unknown if Sarenrae truly protects the girl herself or has enlisted the aid of the Sovereign Host to watch over the girl.

The blank feat:
Possibilities:
torchbearer (more for rp value and backstory for her being in an alien world)fighter then paladin if he lives till I make level 8.
two-weapon fighting
skill focus: intimidate
www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/torchbearer


You acquire a professional torchbearer to accompany you into the dungeon.

Prerequisites: Character level 5th

Benefit: This feat is similar to the Leadership feat, with several exceptions. You can attract only a 1st-level cohort (referred to hereafter as a torchbearer) with this feat, and can't recruit followers. You determine your Leadership score according to the rules presented in the Leadership feat, but your torchbearer is always at least 3 levels lower than your level.

A torchbearer can take levels in the alchemist, bard, fighter, ranger, or rogue class. She can't multiclass, though she can take any archetype she qualifies for, including those from the Torchbearer Archetypes. The torchbearer must take the Torch Handling feat at 1st level.

If a torchbearer gains enough XP to bring her to 2 levels lower than your level, she doesn't gain the new level until you gain your next level; until then her new XP total is 1 less than the amount needed to attain the next level and she gains no additional XP until you advance.

If you release your torchbearer from service or otherwise lose your torchbearer, you may gain a new one by scouting for potential candidates in a city or large town where adventurers are at least somewhat common, which requires 24 hours of uninterrupted scouting.

Unlike other hirelings, a torchbearer requires no compensation for her services as long as her employer has this feat; the opportunity to train under a hardened adventurer is reward enough for most torchbearers.

Graduation: When you reach 8th level, this feat automatically upgrades to the Leadership feat (meaning that you effectively lose this feat and replace it with Leadership). You gain all the normal benefits of the Leadership feat but lose the benefits of this feat, and your torchbearer acts as a normal cohort; she may begin taking levels in other classes if she so chooses, and may increase in level to up to 2 levels lower than your level.

I forgot about the sahdowdancer companions and abilites to summon shadowed creatures, the torchbearer is removed otherwise it would be a lot of paperwork.

The whole point of the rogue is to use skirmish and intimidate (also why she will prestige into shadowdancer). Her job is to get in do a lot of damage, semi-lock down an opponent, and then get out.
She will regain evasion and uncanny dodge through shadowdancer. I haven't built her to 20 to yet but i will look at it. I am also looking at a few 3rd party shadow dancer feats. One lets me create darkness as a spell like. One boost up my abilities in low light and the last boost my shadowdancer shadow pet.Then the next will basically make her shadowdancer jump twice the amount per day and the last will educe it to a quick action but takes twice the feet allowance to do so. I believe she will also get increased bonuses in the dark for her intimidate.

These are the 5 I need.One or two more that let me create deeper darkness, boost to intimidate and improved shadow jump, the swift shadow jump would work great.
These are from Undefeatable:20 Shadowdancer Written by Paizo to balance the shadowdancer prestige class for pathfinder.

Extra Shadow Jumping
You are able to jump through the shadows more
often each day.
Prerequisites: Shadowdancer level 4th
Benefit: The total amount of distance that you are
able to jump each day using your shadow jump
ability increases by 10 feet per level of shadowdancer
you possess, to a total of 420 feet at 10th
level of shadowdancer. These additional feet of
distance may be used normally or in conjunction
with the Improved Shadow Jump and Swift
Shadow Jump feats in order to jump more quickly.

Shadow Crafting
You are able to create magical areas of darkness.
Prerequisites: 5 or more ranks in Spellcraft, shadowdancer
level 3rd
Benefit: Once per day per level of shadowdancer you
possess, you are able to imitate the effects of a darkness
spell. Your caster level for this effect is equal to your shadowdancer
level.

Shadowy Critical [Combat ]
Your critical hits are more effective while you attack from
the shadows.
Prerequisites: Dex 15+, shadowdancer level 5th
Benefit: Whenever you score a critical hit while both you
and your target are within a dimly lit (or darker) area, you
gain a +2 bonus to your attack roll to confirm the critical
hit and the damage multiplier increases by 1 (for example,
from x2 to x3).

Summon Greater Shadow
The shadow companions you can summon are more
powerful and resilient.
Prerequisites: Cha 13+, shadowdancer level 3rd
Benefit: The shadows you summon with your summon
shadow class feature gain the following improvements: an
additional +4 bonus to Will saves made made to halve the
damage from positive channeled energy; total hit points
equal to three quarters of your total rather than half; and
an additional +1 Strength damage per four shadowdancer
levels you possess when it successfully damages a creature
with its incorporeal touch. Additionally, if the shadow is
destroyed or dismissed, you are able to replace it after 20
days rather than 30, as normal.

Legendary Shadow Master
Your ability to defend yourself and make deadly attacks
while in the shadows is legendary.
Prerequisites: Shadowdancer level 10th
Benefit: The benefits granted by your shadow master
ability improve to the following while you are in an area of
dim light: DR 15/-; a +4 luck bonus on all saving throws;
and your target is blinded for 2d6 rounds whenever you
score a critical hit against a target located in an area of dim
light. In addition, your caster level for all shadow spells
and any spell or effect which creates or manipulate areas of
darkness increases by 2.

Yes. I took away torchbearer and thr hero point feats are needed more at earlier levels to for set up on this character. I will add those in after work. Though the problem is she has little str. I have to get items that hit hard with the agile enhancements. ((Adds dex to to hit and damage on foreseeable weapons.)) And using her shadow powers later as once per day buffs or lockdown.


As a human rogue, Entry is being delayed by 5 points of stealth and one level of rogue to get my last (1/6 rogue talent). How many times can the combat trick be taken?

the idea:
rogue 1: (thug, scout): combat reflexes, dodge, frightening (hero point feat: step-up)
fighter 1: (mobile fighter): weapon focus scimitar(hero point feat: dervish dance)
rogue 2: (thug, scout): finesse rogue (weapon finesse), evasion (hero point feat: following step
fighter 2: (Mobile fighter): Dazzling display, agility 1
rogue 3: (thug, scout): brutal beating, mobility (hero point feat: skill focus intimidate
rogue 4: (thug, scout): scout's charge, fast stealth
rogue 5:(thug, scout): motivational display
rogue 6:(thug, scout):(combat trick: blind fighting)(Offensive Defense)
rogue 7:(thug, scout):scout's charge
rogue 9:(thug, scout):3d6 sneak (2d6 with frightening)
rogue 10:(thug, scout):(combat trick:Step Up and Strike)


Dervish dancing as far as paizo is concerned is a combination of this:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPaphrqK7cE

and this:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3UAVTiM9r4

The scimitar is used for balance as well as attack as the drums used in the video

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jywejo-Z6v8

The rogue levels was added to get the level 4 scout rogue ability, two levels of fighter for the +2 BAB, additional feats, fort saves and beefed hp.

Wayne doesn't like the idea of a dancing person in the party rather than fighting, i think he hates dancers in final fantasy tactics or something.

I figure my dancer looked something like this: fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/103/4/6/katapesh_dervish_by_jasonengle-d4w2eh1.jpg

So as much as i was trying for that character, it got down rejected.

Soooo now here we go again. So if we can't dance we have to do this another way.

I like the Suli race, they have a few fun things that work with style and mechanics for a DPR (damage per round) and lockdown). I don't know it seems something cool about being the human torch with acid, fire, cold or elec but this is a once per day ability.

Weapon of choice: falcata

Falcata 18 gp 1d6 1d8 19-20/x3 — 4 lbs. S — APG

So the back story can be simple as well.

Before you, towers a being even taller than the Assimars and the pure-blood Orcs. His skin is tanned but his features seem as oddly dark tan skin orc an otherworldly presence. On his back, is strapped a buckler and at his side is an elaborately crafted heavy black blade with a single sharp, concave edge and a hook-shaped hilt. Along his arms are many years of fighting is sewn into his flesh by blade point. He posses an unnatural beauty and when he looks at you, his eyes look as a raging inferno pictures through a stone window. It is rumored he is from the Droaam nation, a gladiator turned Magus that fought hand to hand with giants, trolls and other monstrosities. Regardless of the rumors, from his garb and unusual weapons, he is easily out of place in most places outside of Droaam.

He is the bastard child of the The ir'Igthorn Family, the human/orc family in Droaam, the monster race ruled nation of Eberron who actually is on very good terms with the five nations. As a bastard, him and his mother was exiled from the lands of the ir'Igthorn family, otherwise he could compete against his sister Baroness Ritha IV for the right to head the clan since he is a true follower of the Gatekeeper orc religion though he is not a druid.

You are an especially large and hulking individual, and when you strike, you aim to deliver the maximum amount of pain. Whenever you score a critical threat, you add (but not multiply, in the case of a confirmed critical hit) an amount of damage equal to your weapon’s critical modifier.

Rice Runner (+1 and acrobatics is a class skill)(free regional trait)

Magical Lineage (magic) Shocking Grasp
Benefit: Pick one spell when you choose this trait. When you apply metamagic feats to this spell that add at least 1 level to the spell, treat its actual level as 1 lower for determining the spell's final adjusted level.

Killer(bonus trait from drawback)
Benefit: You deal an amount of additional damage equal to your weapon's critical hit modifier when you score a successful critical hit with a weapon; this additional damage is added to the final total, and is not multiplied by the critical hit multiple itself. This extra damage is a trait bonus.

Shield Enhancement:
Shield, Throwing

This shield is designed for throwing and comes with specially designed straps allowing you to unclasp and throw it.

Benefit: You can throw the shield as a free action. Neither a shield’s enhancement bonus to AC nor its shield spikes apply to your attack or damage rolls.

Restriction: Tower shields cannot be throwing shields.


Equipment Trick (Shield):
Shield Tricks

Source Pathfinder Companion: Adventurer’s Armory

In addition to the feat, skill, or other requirement listed for each of these tricks, you must have the Equipment Trick (shield) feat and proficiency in (non-tower) shields to use a trick. You may use these tricks with any light or heavy shield. At your GM’s discretion, you may be able to use some of these tricks with a tower shield or buckler, but that requires a separate Equipment Trick feat for that kind of shield and may add a penalty on the associated roll.

Break Ground (Improved Trip, Throw Anything): In place of a melee attack, you can throw your shield at an opponent’s feet, interfering with his movement and perhaps tripping him. You must be holding (not wearing) your shield or using a throwing shield to use this trick. Make a trip attack against your opponent. The opponent can be no larger than your own size category, and the range penalty applies to your trip attempt. If you succeed, the target is knocked prone. Failing this attempt does not knock you prone unless you are within your opponent’s reach. Whether or not you succeed, as long as your shield remains where you threw it, the opponent treats that square as difficult terrain until he moves out of the square.
Hurl Shield (Throw Anything): You can throw your shield as a ranged improvised weapon. You must be holding (not wearing) your shield to perform this trick. If you are using a throwing shield, there is no reason to use this trick.

This does not apply with a buckler, its just too
damn small....Little Wall (Escape Artist 5 ranks): You can contort your body behind your shield in order to gain a brief moment of security. Whenever you use the total defense action, you may choose to gain cover instead of the normal dodge bonus to AC.

Keen Eye (Perception 5 ranks): You have mastered the art of using the reflective surface of your shield to locate foes that you dare not look at directly. On your turn, you may choose to forfeit your shield’s AC bonus for 1 round to improve your defenses against one creature using a gaze attack. Your chance to avoid having to make a saving throw against that creature’s gaze attack increases to 100%, and the creature does not gain concealment against you. For every 5 ranks in Perception you have above 5, you may simultaneously use this ability against another creature with a gaze attack.
Release Shield (no prerequisites): You may remove a light or heavy shield as a swift action instead of a move action. You may remove a throwing shield as a free action. Once you’ve removed the shield, you may hold it in one hand or drop it as a free action.
Ricochet Shield (Deadly Aim, Throw Anything): When you throw a shield, you can bounce it off one or more hard surfaces in order to strike a target from an unexpected angle or to bypass an obstacle such as cover. Each object you ricochet your shield off of imposes a –2 penalty on the attack roll. Range increments apply for the total distance the shield travels, not just the direct distance between you and the target.
Shield Gag (Improved Grapple, Throw Anything): You can force your shield into the mouth of a creature to prevent it from using bite attacks or other mouth-based abilities. Make a grapple check against a creature at least two sizes larger than your size category. If you succeed, you wedge your shield into its mouth. At any time you may release your shield, which means you both lose the grappled condition and return to your own squares, though your shield remains in its mouth. The creature may remove the shield by destroying it (or leaving it with the broken condition), forcing the shield out of its mouth with a grapple check against your CMB, or swallowing it (if it has the swallow whole ability) as if the shield were a creature. While the shield is in place, the monster cannot use its mouth to make attacks (such as a bite or a giant frog's sticky tongue) against anything but the shield and cannot speak clearly enough to cast spells or use items requiring speech. If it uses a breath weapon, its range is half normal and any damage dealt must first get through the shield, with any remaining damage affecting the area normally.

Very nice
