Why? No reason why you character shouldn't fit in. You want to change, go ahead, otherwise just post with your original concept.

IC Thread link. Fangor, Jemal - Characters please.
I seem to have made an error and have seven people instead of six. No problem, it should work just as well so Jemal, Fangor, please post your characters ASAP.
Anyways, for the rest I have started an IC thread and want to get started, so head on over to here and lets get going (JEmal, Fangor I will slot you in when your characters are posted).

“Standing before you is a nightmare figure. Slightly over six feet tall, its grey skin has the dull sheen of metal. Its two long arms ending in sharp claws, black muck caught beneath them. Its face is a caricature of a fear, wide open mouth with fangs that bite into its lower lip.”
Hunters of the Fallen have taken up residence in remote areas of the world. They hide amongst tribes of evil humanoids, often acting as bodyguards to an adept or cleric that worships devils. When amongst others of the Fallen they are usually used as trackers and hunters, serving their masters faithfully.
The Hunters of the Fallen stand just over six feet tall and have grey, thick skin. Their faces appear to be in a permanent look of fear, eyes and mouth open. Their arms end in sharp claws that sometimes are sheathed in iron gloves. The rest of their body is unclothed, their smooth skin unblemished by hair or discoloration. They are intelligent enough to make use of any magic items they may have in their treasure, and will often trade for items they believe are necessary for the fulfilment of their tasks.
Combat:
Hunters love fighting and killing, they are supreme sadists, enjoying the inflicting of pain. They love inflicting fear, causing their prey to run so they may further enjoy the hunt. If the prey is unlucky enough to be caught alive they can be assured of an extremely painful time before they die.
Lance of the Fallen: Instead of a melee attacks in a round, the Hunter can release a lance of pure energy at an enemy within 50 ft. This is a ranged touch attack. If the Lance hits it inflicts 3d6 dmg and the target must make a successful save vs fear ( Wil save DC 14) or be affected as per the fear spell.
Frightful Presence: When approaching foes the Hunter will howl and bay. This sound is frightening, especially when travelling in a pack. All within a 100 ft radius must make a Wil save (DC 14) or be shaken for the next five rounds. If more than three Hunters are together the DC is raised to 17, for more than 5 Hunters the DC is 22.
Yep - some info left out. More on this bunch and their friends later!

Hmm, I'm not very good at determining creature CR's, but I'd say definately no lower than 3. The bugger has exellent defensive qualities for CR 3 (higher than average AC, DR, many resistances, high saves) and it's offensive abililities are not weak by any means.
One thing comes to my mind now, that I've seen the stats. The creature's reach is listed at 5 feet, but I think you were giving it AoO's like it had superior reach than us in the battle.

Nah, the only AoO were when people moved into the creature or past it. You cannot move into combat range to a creature without entering its threatened area unless you have a reach weapon. Melee combat is close quarters stuff when using non-reach weapons.
Yeah, why I felt it was a CR3. Defensive abilities are good but Hp low so the defensive capabilities give it a bit of life span. Also, while the ranged touch attack is potent, its normal attacks are not too powerful although they are accurate enough to get through to most Level 3 characters (but dmg from them is low when going against a tank). One change would be to make that ranged touch attack usable only 1/day/HD thus 3/day for the normal 3HD version but increasing with the creature as it advances. Otherwise it really should use it every round which I don't like.
