Apparently I did a really crappy job of moving Nick up a level before. Just thought I'd let you know that I think he's fixed now. Seems I forgot to give him his second level feat, and to raise his BAB. Hopefully that's it.
Also, so you'll know, next level I plan on finalizing the requirements of the Mage class, and he'll move into that at level 4, unles you have a problem with it.
