All it takes is one candles flame to send the shadows in all directions. We must shine brightly, and even brighter still. If the shadow is to be cast out,We must not just stand upon our wick,But cast ourselves to the ground, stand upon the tender. Rise lightkind and burn. Burn brighter still.

After glancing over some of the other concepts posted, I'm thinking either a Wildlander or a Channeler of some kind. In either case, I'm personally very fond of the Seer path and if no one else has already claimed it, I'd like to pick it up.

Do I use the Shadowed path as is, or do you have other ideas for it?

I'll take a look. I remember it being mostly flavor (which is good) and static DC abilities that weren't really level appropriate (bad)
Use it as-is for now since we're starting at first level. Any changes won't effect your character for a while.

are we using Pf language system or midnight?
also for those of you not used to Pf, all class skills get a +3 on them so long as you put a rank into them. just a heads up.

I'll add this to the Skills entry in the rules thread.
We're doing Languages separate to Linguistics, but because they are very closely related, characters will get a +1 competence bonus to Linguistics for each language they are fluent in.

----------------------------------------
Lvl1 rogue-Sneak attack 1d6
Lvl1 fiendhearted
Fiendish Aura: Your physical self is infused with malevolent energy; your very presence inspires woe and fear. A Fiendhearted character has the evil subtype, as though he were an outsider. The character's alignment cannot be good. NPC's are naturally influenced to fear a Fiendhearted character. They gain a bonus to Intimidate checks equal to 1/2 their character level. Evil outsiders that first encounter a Fiendhearted character have their starting disposition shifted one step towards being beneficial.
Fiendish Gift:
Demon Flesh: Your natural armor increases by 1. This ability can be chosen more than once. When this ability is gained, the character's skin becomes slightly scaly. Each time this ability is chosen, the scales become more pronounced. In addition, the skin can begin to feel noticeably different to the touch; Examples include cold resistant characters becoming noticeably warm or cold to the touch, or the skin of electrically resistant characters becoming charged with slight static.
Lvl1 feat
Stealthy
You are good at avoiding unwanted attention and slipping out of bonds.
Benefit: You get a +2 bonus on all Escape Artist and Stealth skill checks. If you have 10 or more ranks in one of these skills, the bonus increases to +4 for that skill.
Traits
Canter
You grew up among thieves and scoundrels, and their unusual speech patterns and turns of phrase don’t phase you in the slightest today as a result.
Benefit: Anyone who attempts to use Bluff to deliver a secret message to you gains a +5 bonus on his Bluff check. When you attempt to intercept a secret message using Sense Motive, you gain a +5 trait bonus on the attempt.
Reactionary
You were bullied often as a child, but never quite developed an offensive response. Instead, you became adept at anticipating sudden attacks and reacting to danger quickly.
Benefit: You gain a +2 trait bonus on Initiative checks.

Nefario Sharp
Looks quite good. Couple notes- his Charisma mod is scored wrong. Probably just a typo.
The math all looks sound on first glance, but because of the format it doesn't have much transparency. I figured it out, but it wasn't immediately obvious to me. (for example, I still am not sure where your "misc" bonus to acrobatics comes from) For ease of my sanity, please format the math for skills, attacks, saves and such, this way:
Total Ability Math (with source)
+6 Reflex +2 (rogue1) +3 (dex), +1 (race)
+9 Acrobatics +1 (rank), +3 (dex), +3 (class) +2 (whatever it comes from)
Acrobatics (Dex), 1+3+3+2=9
I have a background in mind for him, but I need to know his age.

okie dok I will get it modded for you.
I was thinking 19 or younger just for the fact that I think a fledgling antihero would've gotten himself killed or become more skilled further on, but if you have a paticular gem that would work better givin and older age I can work with it.

I forgot that Halflings don't have the "slow childhood" thing that most of the other fey races have. The idea would work if you were an Elfling, but as a Halfling you'd have to be getting close to middle age. Never mind.
I'll come up with some other stuff. I'd like to connect your character to the halfling underground (folks that free slaves and get them to the Ardune). He'd be familiar with the Eren River Valley and some of it's major hubs, such as Erenhead. He'd have to have a human partner and he'd have to pose as a slave himself a lot of the time.
Any players playing humans want to be the Halfling's partner? Ilona? Might be a good gig for your character. Seems fitting to link the Pyro with the Demon.

so long as I have my picks I don't care if they put me in manacles.and liberating the slaves sounds like a worthwhile cuase, a good way to give the orcs a hard time. I'd be up for working with Pyro as well.

2 traits is correct, but in PF any class skill that you have a rank in gets a +3. so if you put a rank in it you get the +3, but if not then no +3 for you!

+3 / rank, or +3 for just the first, then +1 after?
How many ranks do we start with to hand out?

+3 for the first. 1/+3 would get crazy fast.
I would think it'd be 6+int for you so 7.
and max rank is your level.
so unless there is something you have to have for flavor or what not then, I'd pick 7 class skills and go that route just maximize your skill potential.
