concept status update
My first concept is completed (Tiefling warlock, post 29), and my second concept is about 80% done (Halfling wilderness expert; still needs final touches on skill and mundane gear, post 34).

Pathfinder, Larian is very much not a damage-oriented wizard. He knows a few spells that deal damage, but will rely mostly on his buffs and boosts, and then use his bow as necessary. I think there will be more overlap with your ranger than with your warlock, at least as far as the wizard goes.

More about Gurguannin:
Gurguannin is the younger son of a clan chieftain. The clan was an outpost of the great dwarven empire, who stubbornly refused to give way after the empire collapsed. They live deep within the mountains at the edge of the underdark. Their live is hard and filled with danger, and slowly the clan is diminishing. Gurguannin was sent out to seek help or allies.

Go ahead and start posting characters to the Character Record.
Also I'm "considering" some changes. I don't want to disrupt anyone's ideas that are set up so I won't mess with anything complicated.

Since nobody has used them yet, I'm taking bards and Wood Elves off the lists. I'm replacing them with spellthief and Goliath respectively. Goliath are obviously altered (simplified and toned down).
I'm giving the barbarian class [Diehard] as a bonus feat at first level.
I'm altering fighter weapon focus stuff and ranger combat styles. It's a major change but I think it sounds fun. It's in the RG.
Now here's some questions:
Would the druid in the party find this idea interesting? You can find any non-core domains and such in the srd (I use this.)
[sblock=Druids]Druids will use the Wild Shape Variant: Aspect of Nature from Unearthed Arcanna.
Druids lose their ability to spontaneously cast summoning spells. Instead, each druid may choose a single domain from the following list: Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Healing, Plant, Sun, Water, and Weather. Druids can spontaneously cast spells from their chosen domain. The druid also gains the domain's granted power, except as noted below.
* Druids who select the Animal domain or the Plant domain gain Skill Focus (Knowledge [nature]).
* A druid who chooses the Sun domain gains the ability to turn undead 1/day as a cleric of her druid level.
* Druids who select the Weather domain gain Skill Focus (Survival).[/sblock]
And a question for our high-elf wizard:
Would you prefer to be a gray elf at all? The only difference mechanically is -2 Str, +2 Int. I was considering using them instead, and since they are slightly better for wizards I thought they might better fit the game.
Second, would you be interested in using this variant:
[sblock=Wizard]Wizards cannot specialize (become evokers/enchanters/necromancers/etc.) However, all wizards get to pick one domain from the list below. Wizards can spontaneously cast spells from their domain in place of other prepared spells. The wizard automatically adds each new domain spell to his list of known spells as soon as he becomes able to cast it. These spells do not count against his two new spells known per wizard level.

To run the list:
Changed Rangers, Fighters, Paladins, Barbarians.
Proposing changes to Druids/Wizards.
Removed Bard.
Added Spellthief.
Proposing change to elf type (to Gray).
Cleric language changed slightly.

I'm absolutely fine with switching to gray elf (it would net me 5 bonus hp at the cost of my diplomacy check dropping from +6 to +5). I'd have to do a bit of reading up on gray elves for my character concept, but I don't think there would be any real issue.
As for the variant wizard class, if that's where you want to go, I'll adapt, but I don't see it as being a great fit for Larian as I've drawn him up. If I switched him to artillery rather than support/buffing it would be a fine fit, but none of the domains that fit his current concept have appealing spells at all (or even most) levels.
Transmutation, for instance, would be fine at 3rd (Haste rocks), but I have no real interest in the polymorph spells (too much errata for me). The two that give Dispell Magic (abjuration and antimagic) then give remove curse (highly situational) and lesser globe of invuln. (nice when facing spellcasters, but less so at other times). I would probably be tempted to evocation or fire, and that changes my contribution to the party, putting me in potential overlap with the warlock. Plus, I like the extra spells. I hate running out too early in the day.

Ok, I'll make the change to gray elves and not the change to wizards.
